He's a scrappy, undersized athlete who is doing a nice job at corner this season. Green battles and competes against taller receivers and is willing to attack the ball in the air, even while giving up some length to his man. D3 and Sprint programs would we be wise to get him on their recruiting boards as a plus athlete who will give great effort. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17992152/68b30792c4175f09bdee4e36' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690bb916085a4"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605770"],"_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-690bb9160863e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another undersized player who is having a good senior season and is deserving of small college looks is 2026 Chapmanville OL [player_tooltip player_id='1605770' first='Dawson' last='Adkins']. Listed at 5'10 210, Adkins obviously doesn't have the size that typical college programs are looking for in offensive linemen, but he would excel at the Sprint level. It's also possible that Adkins could move to EDGE on defense and play D3 football, as he has the quickness and physicality that would translate well to that position. He's strong for his size and can bully some defensive linemen if they don't match his leverage and physicality. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/22931083/68f3da772501cee401cae986' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690bb91608673"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1992093"],"_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-690bb916086e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Staying on the theme of undersized athletes having quality senior seasons is 2026 St. Albans DL [player_tooltip player_id='1992093' first='Noah' last='Curry']. He's seeing time on both sides of the line for the Red Dragons, but has upside as a defensive lineman prospect. Curry gives good effort and pursues the ball well. His size and quickness will give offensive linemen fits at times, as he can get under them consistently. Curry is another quality Sprint Football or D3 prospect if he wishes to pursue football after high school. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17932570/68e0a6516915368ea845c7e9' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690bb91608719"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1139393"],"_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-690bb9160883e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Ravenswood Red Devils are having a tough 2025 campaign, but don't overlook 2026 LB [player_tooltip player_id='1139393' first='Matthew' last='Phelps']. He's a multi-sport athlete who offers value to small colleges as a football prospect once he fills out his frame more. Phelps can be utilized in the passing game on offense as well as a receiver, but projects best as an OLB or Safety. He's a quality athlete who can break down and make a play in space and pursues the ball well with effort. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17213301/6908ead32819cfc750d475d5' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690bb9160886e"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1137060"],"_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-690bbde69a392"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A long snapper to know in the 2026 class is Chapmanville's [player_tooltip player_id='1137060' first='Christopher' last='Richards']. He's smaller for the position at 5'9 195, but has clear ability and dedication to his craft. He'd do a nice job covering punts after his snaps and has the athleticism to get down the field quickly. Small colleges would be smart to get Richards on their recruiting boards if they need a long snapper. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17742751/68bee6bf311bcde4fa3bbf9b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-690bbde69a404"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
