<p>Prep Redzone was on hand for live observations on the inaugural EDGYTIM Spring Showcase held in Springfield, IL in The Dome at SCHEELS Sports Complex. The event attracted top talent from across the state. Competitors measured in and tested in the 40, pro shuttle and broad jump. This group of linebackers tested well, performed even better, and are emerging as prospects in the Land of Lincoln.</p>   <p><em>*** Use code StopPRZ30 to smash 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***</em></p>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2176979' first='Oliver' last='Brown'] | Edwardsville | 2027</h2>   <p>Brown is a well muscled up second level prospect that checked in at 5117 208, tested at 4.86x40, 4.52 shuttle, 8'11 broad jump. A two-way player for his high school program, Brown had a very solid day hanging with the best athletes out of the running back room and making some plays in space and in pass coverage. Oliver recently received his first Division II offer and getting interest from multiple divisions.</p>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2176982' first='Lucas' last='Langellier'] | Normal University | 2029</h2>   <p>Langellier was an interesting young prospect that also plays baseball. The freshman-rising sophomore backer measured in at 5104 182, and put down respectable testing numbers for his age at 4.90x40, 4.52 shuttle, 9'0 broad jump. Langellier can move and run and performed with great effort, motor and ball skills through the one on one periods. He's got a solid floor, good young build, and one to watch grow and develop.</p>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2176983' first='Macklin' last='Nelson'] | Rochester | 2028</h2>   <p>Nelson stood out with his physical and athletic traits amongst the group on the afternoon. On the hoof, he has some stockiness to him at 6000 214, and tested very well with a 4.68x40, 4.32 shuttle, 9'2 broad jump. As the numbers indicate, Nelson moved very well in the open field, was able to change direction and make plays in space, and has a visible burst off a plant foot and in acceleration. Nelson is a two-sport athlete that excels in the throwing events in track and field. The rising junior has potential.</p>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='2176985' first='Killian' last='Rauch'] | Belleville East | 2027</h2>   <p>Rauch reported in at 5107 196, and put down a 4.89x40, 4.59 pro shuttle, 8'9 broad jump. Rauch is another two-sport athlete out of the group that doubles as a wrestler, and certainly played with some competitive wrestler energy and intensity. The rising senior received an invite to the Hawaii Tiki Bowl in December and should see increasing interest come his way through camp season from programs at the lower divisions. He has developmental size and athleticism and plays hard.</p>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Jeremiah Streate | East Saint Louis | 2028</h2>   <p>Streate was an unknown that showed up to compete at the combine and ended up walking away with top performer recognition. He measured in at 6002 180, with testing numbers to the tune of 4.90x40, 4.71 pro shuttle, 8'10 broad jump. He moved around in space better than the numbers would indicate and displayed some good wiggle reacting to the tailbacks in the MYM one on one drill. The base of his evaluation process currently is performances at camps and combines this offseason. Look out for the film this fall on the rising junior.</p>   <p></p>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><em>PREP REDZONE EXPOSURE SERIES IS COMING TO CHICAGOLAND!</em></h2>   <p>NFL Combine-style testing, indy drills, college coaches and scouts on hand, promo codes available!</p>   <p>Tap into the links below and reach out to <a href="https://x.com/nielstopczynski">@nielstopczynski</a> for more!</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneIL/status/2049889103244558819 </div></figure>   <p></p>   <p><em>*** Use code StopPRZ30 to smash 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***</em></p>
