Newcomer Preview: 5 Class of ‘26 Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I first would like to begin this report with an apology. Many from the Class of ‘26 have asked, and I apologize that the rankings have yet to be updated. We've recently hit a bump in the road with technical issues on our site. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stay patient though folks. The fall update will be published soon. In the meantime, while the rankings are on my mind; I wanted to give everyone a preview of five newcomers folks can expect to see when the rankings are updated. Remember these names, and be on the lookout for them the rest of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1908895' first='Vincent' last='Allen'] - Shawnee Mission West, 5'7”, 145, ATH</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This first player has received quite a bit of praise from his teammates, and after reviewing his film I can see why. Allen was featured back in Week 4 during the <em>Prospect Matchup</em> series, and his strong senior campaign has continued on. He's a versatile athlete that can be used in a variety of ways given his speed and shiftiness. He'll have an opportunity to gain more interest over these next few weeks of the season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1926374' first='Crayton' last='Holman'] - Jefferson West,&nbsp; 6'1”, 190, ATH</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Holman of Jefferson West is another talented do-it-all prospect. His play has been very instrumental in Jefferson West's impressive turnaround this season. Between offense, defense and special teams, Holman has accumulated over 700 all-purpose yards and has found the end zone eight times. In addition, he's recorded over 20 total tackles, three interceptions, and has forced two fumbles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1708194' first='Zion' last='Bell'] - Rock Creek, 5'10”, 205, RB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rock Creek's offense has been electric this season and it's been centered around standout running back [player_tooltip player_id='1708194' first='Zion' last='Bell']. He was featured recently by our staff and his numbers have continued to climb since then. Bell is heading into Week 7 fresh off his second 200-yard rushing performance of the season, and is zeroing in on a 1,000-yard campaign. He has the potential of being an every down back at the collegiate level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1926375' first='Ayden' last='Mosley'] - Mill Valley, 6'3”, 185, DB</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It may sound strange saying that a high-profile program like Mill Valley has overlooked players. However, year after year their coaching staff does produce talented prospects that fly under the radar. Mosley is yet another example of that. He's a safety with ideal size for the next level, and possesses the vision and range to make plays in the secondary. He should gain some interest as Mill Valley will likely go on another deep postseason run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1954753' first='Brody' last='Barnes'] - Atchison, 6'5”, 300, OL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We close out this preview of newcomers with a massive offensive line prospect that's been on the rise this season. Barnes is a lineman that excels in the ground game given his physicality and strength. Atchison primarily lines him up at left tackle, which is a position he's shown promise at. However, I could picture him having great success as a guard at the collegiate level. He's up to seven offers so far, and should see more come his way as we get closer to playoff time. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
