The junior linebacker is a sideline-to-sideline prospect. Henderson plays physically at the point of attack, maintaining a good pad level to stack and shed. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note – Multi-Sport Athlete</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Trae_h2008/status/1967628204107293025?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1653822' first='Caiden' last='Sims'] could be one of those young prospects to have a major breakout game. He's been a reliable tight end this season with experience at defensive end. Sims attacks the seam with solid foot speed and showcases solid mental processing to find voids in zone and settle. </p>   <p>Note - 3.7 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CaidenGriffin0/status/1989472159681655142?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1844505' first='Damien' last='Stevens'] is another under-the-radar type of prospect. He's quick off the snap and can stretch the defense vertically due to good foot speed. Stevens displays a smooth route-running ability and can create separation off his breaks. Glen Rose could key him this week. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note - All-Conference in 2024 and 2025</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Damien_stev2/status/1987596664207548677?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1543688' first='Alex' last='McCray'] could have his breakout moment this week. In such a talented roster and wide receiver group, it's easy to go under the radar, but McCray has the potential to play at the next level. McCray is a smooth route runner with no wasted motion during his routes. He possesses solid hand-eye coordination, body control, and strong hands, as he can adjust mid-route and catch against the contest.</p>   <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.4 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/alexmccray33/status/1984337260570141179?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1223230' first='Cason' last='Roten'] is another linebacker to watch. He possesses the work ethic and determination you want on and off the field. During the playoffs, anyone can have a breakout moment, and this could be the moment when Roten catches the attention of college coaches. Roten plays sideline-to-sideline and can stack and shed at the point of attack. Keep an eye on him. </p>   <p>Note - 4.1 GPA</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CasonRoten2027/status/1989060365825544493?s=20 </div></figure>
