In the camp setting last summer, McCollum recorded a 4.33 in the pro shuttle and a 104 broad jump, indicating a level of quickness and explosiveness there, and it translates on the film. He's a hand in the dirt guy that moves like a second level player. Highly active and relentless in his pursuit of the football. McCollum received First Team All State honors out of the 2025 season, has a 3.5 GPA, and earned a handfull of FBS/FCS/D2 offers thus far. He's also a state qualifier wrestler.     Porchia is another second level looking body type playing with this hand in the dirt but appears to have fair amounts of growth potential. He is active with his feet, good with his hands, and plays with motor. He gets good push into the backfield, loves the bull rush, but more importantly looks to have a plan of attack at the line of scrimmage. Porchia is a versatile player that plays outside and in the interior, uses leverage, shoots gaps, defeats blocks, a good football player. He reports big weight room numbers to pair with a tough style of play, and is waiting for his first offer to come through.     Davis predominantly lines up in a three point on both ends of the defensive front, and at times will rush from the two point. At a listed size of 6040 240, he has good build to him, and also reports a 4.7 pro shuttle, 315 bench and 465 squat. In 2025, he finished with 72 tackles, 4 sacks, 3 TFL and 4 PBU. He uses his hands and arms well, particularly in disruption of passing lanes, batting down balls at the line. Hand use also shows up in a base arsenal of pass rush moves and blocker beaters. In space, he can move laterally, and is a thumper on contact. His style of play includes the requisite physicality for next level defensive front. Davis awaits his first offer.     Berry is now listed at 6040 315, reports a 3.0 GPA, and finished 2025 with 30 tackles, 3 TFL and 2 sacks. A two sport athlete that competes as a thrower in track and field. Berry is a big bodied nose that has a play history at offensive tackle and multiple positions across the defensive front. He stuffs gaps and holds down the middle, affecting the run game and presenting a powerful brick wall type presence on the interior. He has all the size and must continue to develop his strength and power that shows up in flashes on film. He received his first Division I offer this offseason.     Clark has a frame with incredible length and looks like the body type that Division I schools seek out to play off the edge. Clark plays out of a two and three point stance rushing the quarterback and pursues the ball downfield. As a football player, Clark has the raw size and athletic traits and must further develop his play strength and position specific skill set as he continues to grow into his frame and the game. Clark has very good burst, quickness and agility, flashes on tape, and brings great developmental value at a premium position. He currently holds Division II and III offers and maintains a 3.8 GPA.    *** Use code StopPRZ30 at checkout for 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***
