<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Today we take a look at some of the under-the-radar recruits who deserve a spotlight for their performances in Week 1. These four prospects are flying under recruiting radars. Who are they? Who stood out? Here they are:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["930271"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ac506195715"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bellisari had a great week one game against Big Walnut, proving his dual-threat ability as a quarterback with 264 passing yards, 51 rushing yards and three passing touchdowns. Flashing a quick release and great touch on the deep ball, the Class of 2026 quarterback has several small school offers but is quickly proving he may be one of the most overlooked prospects in the Buckeye State. He certainly has the size measurables to be a highly-ranked player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1716687"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ac506195791"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Frisk made his catches count: he had just two catches, but they were both for touchdowns, and the 6-foot-0, 148-pound 2026 receiver is just one touchdown away from his total touchdowns last season and already less than 300 yards away from last year too. Frisk displays good adjustment back to the ball and holds small school offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611241"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ac5061957e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was a solid Week 1 start for Hartings, who could have a breakout junior year. The 6-foot-3+ gunslinger shows great touch on the deep ball and the ability to roll out and throw on the move. Keep an eye on him as the season progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["313561"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68ac506195829"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maxwell has a cannon for an arm and flashed it in the Week 1 opener against Bowling Green. He is also a great dual-threat who can make plays with his legs. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound gunslinger had five touchdowns - three rushing, two passing - in just one half of play. He holds no offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
