Brock is one of the fastest rising names in the 2026 class after a breakout junior campaign followed by a productive summer. He showed up big during the season and didn't let off the gas, making a statement on the camp circuit and landing an offer from Marshall, among others. With great footwork, strength, and the ability to shed blocks quickly, Brock consistently disrupts plays at the line of scrimmage. He has the frame, motor, and technique to earn even more attention, possibly from Power Four programs if he continues to progress. Brock is trending upward and fast!     Sema brings an ideal blend of size, strength, and athleticism that makes him a mismatch nightmare for defenses. After flashing major upside during the season, he took the next step this summer, earning a commitment to Northern Arizona. He has the strength and quickness to set the edge in the run game or going up for contested grabs in the red zone, Sema can do it all at tight end. His ability to move in space and win 1 on 1 matchups gives him real next level potential. With his recruitment now settled, expect Sema to put together a monster senior campaign that cements him as a top tier tight end in the state.     Stephens is entering his senior season looking like a man on a mission. After catching fire at team camps this summer and reeling in D1 offers, Stephens has the frame and explosion to take over games. He's got an explosive first step, active hands, and the strength to disengage blockers with ease. His lean, athletic build allows him to chase plays down from the backside and close space in a hurry. If he can maintain this momentum through the fall, a first team all-state nod isn't just possible it's likely. Stephens is a defensive force whose stock is only going up.     Zeck is a player that continues to prove he belongs in the conversation among the state's top defenders. He had a strong junior season and backed it up by standing out with Mile High Prep in the Prep Super League. His production and effort caught the attention of several D2 programs, and the buzz around him is growing. Zeck plays with a chip on his shoulder, using his high motor and physicality to fly to the football. If he carries this same intensity into the regular season, more offers will follow. Keep him firmly on your radar as a stock riser with something to prove.     Watts is a natural playmaker in the secondary, with a knack for reading quarterbacks and jumping routes. He's a ball hawk who knows how to time his breaks and disrupt offensive rhythm, creating turnovers and momentum changing plays. While he didn't make many camp rounds this summer, he's still very much a breakout candidate heading into the season. His instincts and coverage awareness allow him to impact games even when the ball isn't thrown his way. If Watts can build on last year's success and post another productive campaign, don't be surprised when college coaches start calling.     Gallien has track speed and now he's channeling it into becoming a true lockdown corner. After making an impression at the UNC mega camp, Gallien is starting to draw more eyes and should be one of the most improved players heading into the fall. With a full offseason focused on refining his technique, his footwork and coverage discipline, he has taken a major step forward. He's showing flashes of elite upside, especially in man coverage where his closing speed allows him to shrink throwing windows. If Gallien continues to develop, expect his name to surge up the rankings and onto recruiting boards.
