5 Offensive Prospects Who Need More Attention on Recruiting Trail

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone Illinois recently released our 2027 rankings.  Since they have dropped we have seen a ton of new offers fly in for those prospects with college coaches being out on the road.  Here are 5 offensive prospects that we feel should be getting more attention on the trail in terms of offers or higher level offers!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rios is a PRZ Illinois favorite.  He has landed offers from UMass, Cornell, Akron, San Diego State, Western Illinois, and Western Kentucky.  We truly believe he is a legit P4 offensive lineman with his athleticism and elite pass protection ability.  At that level we can definitely see him kicking inside to guard where he would be a mobile and athletic interior offensive lineman with all conference pass pro upside!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!--

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Morris 6'4” offensive lineman is a beast on tape!  That is why we are surprised there has not been more offers thrown his way.  Michigan State and Eastern Michigan are heavily involved at this point.  As a left tackle he gets out in space blocking very well on the move.  Puts his opponents on the ground and plays with strength and good use of angles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coleman is a 6'5” offensive tackle that plays with a wide base and plus athleticism.  He has raw strength and moves defenders off the ball with his power.  Mobile athlete recently landed an offer from Florida Atlantic along with holding ones from Akron and Liberty offers.  Would expect more schools to get involved in the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Shanklin led the Flyers to a state championship game appearance this season.  Strong and athletic dual threat signal caller that recently scored a Western Illinois offer.  We are surprised that a QB with his athleticism and physical tools combined with production as a junior hasn't gotten more attention from Group of 5 programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McConnell is an “ATHLETE” at 6'6” that impacts as both a jumbo tight end and edge rusher.  We were super impressed with his junior film on both sides of the ball.  As a tight end he is a mismatch with his size and catch radius.  On the edge he has burst coming around the corner to the QB.  Illinois State and Minnesota have both checked in on him, but we believe more G5 programs should be throwing offers his way!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block
