Use Code: RobertDavis10 for a discount and come show up and show out! Today we will be taking a look at some small school prospects that are looking to turn heads this offseason. These are the names that you will need to add to your radar as we move forward into the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2172183"],"_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-69dfdb5633977"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Zamora is a versatile back who brings shiftiness and open field explosiveness to the offense. He shows the ability to make defenders miss in tight spaces and quickly accelerate once he reaches the perimeter. His speed becomes a major factor when he gets into open grass, allowing him to turn routine touches into chunk gains. Zamora also adds value in the return game, as he was able to take a kickoff return back for a touchdown that showed his vision and playmaking instincts. He finished the season with 94 carries for 459 yards and one touchdown, and his production suggests there is more upside as his role expands. Zamora's ability to impact multiple phases makes him an intriguing prospect on the small school circuit in southern Colorado. With a strong offseason and increased opportunities, he has the tools to elevate his production and become a more widely recognized name.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2172184"],"_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-69dfdb5633a52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Schellenberg is a rising prospect who combines size, balance and footwork to create consistent production in the run game. At 6'1 and 190 pounds, he brings a physical presence while still maintaining the agility to make defenders miss in the hole. His ability to keep his feet moving through contact allows him to extend runs and pick up more yards after contact. Schellenberg recorded 61 carries for 451 yards and five touchdowns, showing both efficiency and scoring ability. He runs with a downhill mentality, using his frame to lower his shoulder and finish runs with authority. His blend of size and movement gives him a strong foundation moving forward. With continued development and a productive offseason, Schellenberg is a name that could gain traction and earn recognition in upcoming rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2172188"],"_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-69dfdb5633af5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bever is a physical running back who thrives on contact and shows strong vision when navigating through traffic. He identifies running lanes quickly and attacks them with purpose, allowing him to generate positive yardage consistently. Bever runs with power, breaking through arm tackles and picking up chunk yardage in the process. He finished the season with 45 carries for 433 yards and four touchdowns, showing his ability to produce efficiently. His running style helps keep drives alive, as he consistently moves the chains and wears down defenses. Bever's combination of vision, toughness and effort makes him a reliable option in the backfield. As he continues to build on his production and refine his skill set, he has the potential to emerge as a standout on the small school circuit.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2172259"],"_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-69dfdb5633b9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gonzales is a physical running back who brings strength and toughness to every carry. He excels at running through contact, making him difficult to bring down in one on one situations. His ability to power through defenders becomes especially valuable in short yardage and redzone situations, where he can consistently push the pile and find the endzone. Gonzales recorded 90 carries for 386 yards and four touchdowns, while also contributing in the passing game with a solid yards average. His versatility adds another dimension to his game, allowing him to impact both the ground and air attack. Gonzales' physical running style and ability to finish plays make him a dependable offensive weapon. With a strong offseason and continued development, he is a prospect who could gain more attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2049382"],"_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-69dfdb5633c24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Williams is a dynamic running back who brings burst and vision to the offense. He shows the ability to quickly get north and south, hitting running lanes with decisiveness and creating opportunities for explosive plays. His understanding of blocking schemes allows him to set up his runs effectively, maximizing the space available. Williams finished the season with 55 carries for 304 yards and four touchdowns, while also adding eight receptions for 111 yards and two touchdowns. His versatility as both a runner and receiver makes him a valuable offensive piece. He can create mismatches in space and contribute in multiple ways. With continued growth and a strong offseason, Williams has the potential to see his role expand and his production increase significantly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2173039"],"_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-69dfdb5633c9e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Anastosouplous is an under the radar receiver who is beginning to gain momentum through his offseason performance. He shows smooth route running ability, getting off the line quickly and creating separation at the top of his routes. His ability to operate in space and find openings in coverage gives him potential as a reliable target. He finished the season with 14 receptions for 150 yards and a touchdown, while also adding a rushing score, showing his versatility. Anastosouplous has been active on the 7v7 circuit, where he continues to refine his skills and gain valuable experience. With additional exposure through team camps and continued development, he is a prospect who could elevate his production and become a notable name within the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
