Region IDs: 6 Sleepers to Track in NW Alabama

We are going deeper than ever before in Alabama this spring and summer. To start, here is a deep dive into some sleepers in Northwest Alabama that are catching my eye.    Pritchard is backing up a productive junior campaign with a buzzy offseason so far. He has generated some noise this winter, so I was eager to check out the tape here. He plays on both sides of the ball, but projects as a receiver with his size. A smooth player who is an obvious YAC threat. Not much to overthink here. He is smooth, twitchy, and can separate before and after the catch. On defense, he is around the ball, flashing his instincts.     This is my first look at Campbell, who plays both sides of the ball at a high level. I think he could play DB at the next level, but I really like him at WR. I simply think he has too much juice and playmaking ability to not be given an opportunity with the ball. He is a long, lean athlete with long strides, but quick feet. Proper, form runner who maintains his speed over long distances and through cuts. He can slow his body down and make subtle adjustments as needed. Underrated player with D1 upside as a playmaker.     Bolding is one of the most productive players in the region, so naturally he is someone I want to get familiar with. He is a lean, cut 5'11 185 who does most of his damage after the catch. He has the speed to separate from his level of competition and can tap into different gears as an athlete. However, it's his scrappiness and ability to strain the most out of each rep that sticks out to me. It's clear when the ball is in his hand that he is going to fight hard to stay upright and generate explosive plays.     McClure is a highly productive player who lines up all over the field for East Lawrence. While ranked here by our scouts in AL, this is my first actual look at him. He is a big body at 6'1 190 with room to get bigger. He is dangerous in the direct snap game, especially when he gets out in space. He can roll downhill, but his ability to cut into new running lanes and weave in space is impressive for how big he is. Would definitely be intrigued with this kid at a small school, and those schools should pay attention here.     What a gem this kid could be. Elliot is a 6'1 basketball athlete coming off a productive junior season as a returner. There is a lot to like about this kid athletically. Smooth athlete who can lean and sink his weight in his routes to work over the MOF and back to the QB. He can roll when he opens up his stride in space. The athleticism carries over from basketball to football, and this is one of the more overlooked players in the region, despite the traits and production.     Roberts is an exciting, underrated player. Despite his impressive production both as a passer and a rusher, this is my first look at him. Listed as a QB, but he could play a few different spots at the next level. He is an explosive, sudden athlete with a hot motor, both on offense and defense. He is a good passer though, too. Quick, clean mechanics, and he has the ability to sling the ball around on the move. Just a good football player all around, and someone who should continue playing his way onto the map with proper exposure.
