Neal is a top tailback for Division I powerhouse St. Edward High, and the 5-foot-11, 180-pound prospect has the goods. Neal has great change-of-direction and top-end juice. His vision and ability to make defenders miss at the second level are elite.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1926112"],"_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-6957c27a2b920"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1926112' first='Matthew' last='Perry'], an offensive guard and center for St. Edward, is signed up and ready to rumble at the camp. Perry has good first-step quickness, fires forward off the line of scrimmage and can block at the second level. The 6-foot-1 offensive guard is rugged and tough. He will face stiff competition on Saturday against some of the top defensive linemen in the Buckeye State, but I expect him to shine in big ways.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1907845"],"_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-6957c27a2b973"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was a rough-and-tumble season for St. Ignatius, but one bright spot was [player_tooltip player_id='1907845' first='Jacob' last='Mikin'] - a 6-foot-1, 185-pound quarterback with a quick release and strong arm. Mikin throws with good zip and velocity in the short and intermediate game and flashes ability to make tough throws with defenders in his face. He will be a name to watch in Columbus on Saturday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2086535"],"_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-6957c27a2b9bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2086535' first='Nathan' last='Barran'] will be one of several top pass rushers who are signed up and ready to rumble on Saturday. The 6-foot-3, 170-pound prospect displays great first-step quickness off the edge and is a stout run defender who flows to the ball. Barran has a lot of upside and potential. Expect him to add weight over the next two seasons, get even bigger and faster, and start to let his talents shine, starting on Saturday at the Stock Up Showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Most of the prospects set to shine at Saturday's Prep Red Zone camp are from the Columbus area, but a handful of top prospects from the Cleveland and Akron areas are planning to make the trip. Here are four northeast Ohio standouts who are signed up for the Stock Up Showcase:
