<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At Prep Redzone, our focus is on uncovering the hidden gems, the under-the-radar athletes who deserve recognition but often go unnoticed due to various factors.

Here are five prospects to add to your recruiting board:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2102316"],"_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-69c93f448eca3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2102316' first='Brodie' last='Dow'] is a prospect to add to the recruiting board.

Overall, he can attack the full field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BrodieDow10/status/1990616817971441772?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BrodieDow10/status/1990616817971441772?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1861211"],"_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-69c93f448ed6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1861211' first='Bre'lan' last='Criswell'] is one of the top athletic prospects in Arkansas. At our showcase in January, he ran a 4.5 40, 4.13 pro shuttle, and a 6.63 L Drill. He can evade early penetration due to his good contact balance, lateral quickness, COD, and low center of gravity. He showcases solid post-snap vision, attacking running lanes quickly and locating cutback lanes. Overall, he can be a threat in the receiving game as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BrelanCriswell2/status/2034770255701069872?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BrelanCriswell2/status/2034770255701069872?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1730098"],"_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-69c93f448ee3e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1730098' first='Jaiden' last='Hicks'] is going to garner more attention this upcoming fall.

His solid hand placement and active feet to drive and displace on base or down blocks are impressive.

Keep an eye on him in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Cxsh_Malaki/status/1988426704801697962?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Cxsh_Malaki/status/1988426704801697962?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1318916"],"_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-69c93f448ef50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1318916' first='Rayshun' last='Reed'] is going to play at the next level. Reed gives his quarterback an extensive window due to his catch radius and strong hands. He's reliable and consistent. Reed can stretch defenses vertically with his good foot speed. He can create separation off his breaks due to solid COD, balance, and burst. His catch radius, hand-eye coordination, and body control enable him to high-point the football, adjust mid-route, or win vs. contest.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RayshunReed2028/status/2018896190281257246?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RayshunReed2028/status/2018896190281257246?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
