Uncommitted Senior Gems Up For Grabs

With National Signing Day next week the clock is ticking on the Class of 2026. Of course you don't need to have committed or signed by NSD, but things are definitely winding down as coaching staffs are putting the finishing touches on their Classes. Luckily enough for those teams looking for last minutes steals we have plenty of talent still on the market here in WI. There are several in particular that are still searching hard for their college home and I am confident they can be legitimate difference makers. Dive into these hidden gems and steals with me and make sure to check out their highlights for yourself.    One of the top DL/Edge seniors still on the board is St. Cat's Adrian Contreras- Ward. The 2026 has a great frame that really filled out nicely for his senior season. Even at his size the senior is still able to get out of his stance quickly and has the range to chase down the ball and the agility to corral RBs in the backfield. I love the physicality he plays with too. From overall power to drive OL back to his heavy hands that are able to completely swipe aside the hands of OTs and give him clear paths to the backfield. Don't miss out on grabbing the talented and productive senior defender.      This kid is going to be a difference maker. He spent his entire career, especially his senior season, proving how versatile he can be. Offense and defense, RB, WR, DB. He handled a lot of duties and delivered in every position. Zyon is such an explosive athlete. From his long speed, to agility and change of direction, and leaping ability to go attack the ball in the air. With the ball in his hands Zyon is so elusive, and he is going to finish plays strong with that stout 180 lbs frame. Having a kid this versatile and ready to compete is a steal at this point in the process. Check out his top plays.      The top receiving threat for one of the most explosive offenses in the 2025 season is still on the open market. The long, lean WR does a great job of playing the football in the air. He knows when to come back to the ball, times his jumps well in jump ball situations, and can contort his body along the sideline to make grabs. The senior is outstanding at winning vertically and stretching the field. He is a savvy route runner too and has a solid bag of tricks to create space while attacking vertically. He earned that Top 10 WR ranking this season. Check him out.      I'm a big fan of the way Ryan plays DB, and college programs should be very interested in his still available services. At 5'10" 180 lbs I think Ryan perfectly fits as a nickel. He checks a lot of those boxes. He is an athlete that can easily cover ground on the back end and has ball skills to be reliable in coverage. Ryan also does well playing through traffic which would be required when facing the run game. You can trust him as a tackler too. Plus I love the short area burst he has that allows him to dominate in the intermediate level of the field when dropping into a zone. Tap into the senior's highlights.      Not very often you can still find a 6'4" 300 lbs center still available, but that is what we have with [player_tooltip player_id='1801788' first='Josh' last='Douglas']. The Madison West OL was a stout presence on the interior. He is so explosive in a 2-3 yard stretch and turns that into devastating punches on contact. Josh has the strength to completely wipe away DTs. Once Josh gets his hands clamped onto his man he is taking them for a ride in the run game. That ride usually ends on the ground for the DL. Come and grab this IOL steal.      Another intriguing steal is Stratford's 6'4" 265 lbs left tackle. Despite the long frame, Drew is fantastic at playing low. He fires out of his stance low in the run game, and keeps that through contact. That gives his long lean frame powerful leverage over DL. From there Drew is able to run DL off the ball and finish them with violence. Drew is an athlete at the position too. He can easily maneuver his body while engaged with the defender until he has the right body positioning to wall off defenders. There are plenty of tools to work with here.      Timothy is ready to contribute early on as a pass rush specialist. The long, lean edge defender shines off the edge. He has great range to chase down the ball, or retrace his steps and bring down the QB when they try to step up into the pocket. Despite his length, the senior is still able to dip and bend while rushing the edge. The athletic edge also looks comfortable playing out in space when asked to drop instead of rush, but he is at his best when he can pin his ears back and rush the QB. Don't miss on this hidden gem.
