[player_tooltip player_id='1955916' first='Gage' last='Bottorff'] is a player for the Gravette Lions who always seems to get open and make plays on the field. He uses his route running to create separation from opposing defenders. Bottorff is a player to watch out for throughout the offseason. I expect a big 2026 season from Bottorff.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1953459' first='Desmond' last='Copeland']-Defensive Back-Nettleton-5'10” 165-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1953459' first='Desmond' last='Copeland'] is one of the most physical defensive backs in the class of 2027. He is a cornerback who does not mind playing near the line of scrimmage. Copeland is a physical cornerback who does a great job of separating the ball from the ball carrier. He has the quickness to stick with opposing wide receivers. The Nettleton defensive back is a player to watch out for over the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1862333' first='Jacob' last='Wright']-Offensive Line-Greenwood-6'4” 290-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1862333' first='Jacob' last='Wright'] is an offensive line prospect for the Greenwood Bulldogs who plays with a chip on his shoulder. Wright gets out of the stance quickly and uses his hands well to drive opposing defenders backward. Mixes his speed and power well when dealing with opposing defenders. Wright is a prospect who I expect to deal well in camps this offseason and he is a player to watch going into 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1950218' first='Jayce' last='West']-Offensive Line/Defensive Line-Perryville-6'0” 235-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1950218' first='Jayce' last='West'] is a prospect who I expect to break out from a recruiting perspective in 2026. He has tremendous versatility and excels on both sides of the ball. Uses his quickness well but his power is impressive. On the offensive side of the ball, he uses good hand placement to help keep opposing pass rushers out of the offensive backfield. He will drive opposing defenders backward. West is a player to watch this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1972086' first='Dylan' last='Smith']-Wide Receiver/Athlete-Sheridan-5'11”165-Pounds</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1972086' first='Dylan' last='Smith'] is the type of wide receiver who excels at creating separation from opposing defensive backs. Smith uses his crisp route running to create separation and haul in receptions. He has the speed to stretch the field from a vertical perspective. Meanwhile, he has the ability to carve up opposing defenses using his ability to get away from defenders. He is a wide receiver I expect to have a breakout year in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
