*Use code "jackson30" for 30% off your PRZ subscription*   Here is a look at a handful of new names from the Tuscaloosa area that impressed me upon my first watch.    Greimel is coming off a productive sophomore season, and he looks like a rock-solid player for his age. He is a bowling ball back, packed strong into his 5'10 180 frame. Patient player who rides his blocks to the second level and doesn't waste time dancing in space. His short-area quickness flashes and is what helps him fill space and create yards. Good contact balance with the ability to drive his feet and fall forward. High floor, productive player.     While raw, there is a lot to like about Summerlin and his upside. He is all of 6'3 210 and still growing into his frame. Patient pursuer in space and leverages the ball well. I love how he engages blockers, using his length to create separation and give himself room to operate. Summerlin could give smaller schools access to a rare body type and everything that comes with that upside.     Long is an extremely intriguing, but fun player to watch. He is a big body at RB, carrying his 210-220 weight on a thicker frame. He can roll in space, at least better than you'd think for his size. To say he is a thumper would only tell the story of part of his game. He is a chore to bring down. He will run through you, absorb body shots, and drag tacklers yards downfield. Long is a game wrecker with his size and physicality, but he isn't a shabby athlete, either.     There's a lot to like about Bramlett, who has continued to emerge as a premier 2027 DB prospect in Alabama. To me, this is my first look. The intrigue is set here by his combination of size and speed. He is listed around 6'0 185, but he looks and plays even bigger than that. Smooth athlete who matches and carries routes, can climb the ladder, and has the length to consistently threaten the catch point. Reps in space bringing back INTs and returns adds even more context to the level of athlete here. Nationally underrated player who I will continue to check in on.     Silvers is an underrated rising senior who is a bit of an unsung hero on a talented Hillcrest squad. Silvers makes plays all over the field, but I think he is best when he can freely pursue the football and come downhill, so a future home as a safety or nickel makes sense. He is quick to diagnose, has the desired explosiveness to close space, and works hard to bring ball carriers down in space. Just an energetic DB with range and capable tackling ability. I would grade him out as a D1 DB.
