<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>By the end of the #PRZNXT Who's Next Exposure Camp on Saturday, nine prospects established themselves for MVP recognition and earned an invite to the The Rize later this summer to put their talent on the table against the best young prospects in America. An additional nine prospects commanded attention with their performance throughout the duration of the afternoon, and were certainly discussed within the MVP conversation. Meet this group of rising freshman and rising 8th graders who had and outstanding day.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>*** Use code StopPRZ30 to crack 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tap in for more on the PRZNXT Who's Next Exposure Camp Chicago Most Valuable Prospects</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> https://prepredzone.com/2026/05/prznxt-whos-next-exposure-camp-chicago-mvps-hail-from-5-states/ <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2160233"],"_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-6a02a48a01b44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Despite his overall size at the current moment, McDonnell was the most refined pass catcher there from a position specific skill set standpoint. He drives off the line, attacking the route, sinks his hips at the top and out of his break, gets his head around fast and anticipates the ball well. Gets is hands up, meets the ball away from his frame, absorbs the catch, and bursts up field for YAC. McDonnell is quite balanced and collected with his body control through the rep, shifty in space, and creates separation with exceptional short area quickness. McDonnell figures to have some considerable growth potential. He came in 2 inches taller than his listed size, and his paws are a big 9 inch handwidth. A 4.47 pro shuttle and 8'11 broad jump verifies good baseline quickness and explosiveness.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2205342"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a02a48a01bde"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Goodnight was the final enrollee for the event but wound up being amongst the favorites in the group on Saturday afternoon. Goodnight arrived with a frame that already has some good young developmental mass, a young linebacker type build standing at 5080 179. After running 5.21x40, 4.77 shuttle, 7.56 cone and 8'4 broad, Goodnight went to work getting his money's worth so to speak. He put in great effort in the indy drills and was aggressive in one on one passing periods. He may not have won MVP honors, but he did receive special recognition as a competitor that took every rep possible.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2168645"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2207450,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a02a48a01c5a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pollack has a lanky lean frame with very good short area quickness and change of direction at his age. His 4.44 shuttle and 6.94 cone are amongst the tops in his class through showcase testing. While running his 5.04x40 time, he had good juice off the line and great athletic form running. On the field, Pollack was productive running his routes, showed soft hands, and good body adjustment to the ball. He extended for catches, met the ball away from the frame, and was pretty natural looking it in over the shoulder. He was a deep ball threat Saturday afternoon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1591172"],"_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-6a02a48a01cd1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Futrell arrived well established as a top quarterback prospect in the Class of 2030 from Missouri. On the hoof, Futrell looks like a skill player at 5090 150, and has a long 7100 wingspan and big hands at 0968. He ran 5.05x40, 4.66 shuttle, 6.94 cone, and 9'2 broad jump, showing quickness and explosion with a good get out of the blocks on his 40 run. Those big paws allows him to put some really good spin on the ball as he went through passing drills delivering with velocity. His motion is tight and compact, good with placement and tight windows, and can hit a deep throw with nice touch. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2057771"],"_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-6a02a48a01d49"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Having been able to observe Bliss live multiple times a year over the past handful of years, what stands out about Bliss is his continued gradual consistent growth and development physically, athletically, and from a position specific skill set standpoint. Bliss' had a rock solid day, maybe the best I've seen the young QB. He ran one of the three sub 5 second 40 times with a 4.97, and also recorded a 4.41 shuttle, 7.25 cone, and 9'0 broad. He was one of the standout overall athletes at the event. He also had very good length measurables with a 0968 hand and 7200 wingspan. Throwing the football, Bliss sends it with great touch and easy spin. He is very much a finesse thrower, and only missed a couple connections on the afternoon. He has potential to be one of the best in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2152421"],"_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-6a02a48a01dc1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sroka was the top performing prospect amongst the young contingent that will still be playing junior high football next fall. Coming off a top performer type night at The Stage Collegiate Showcase earlier in the week, Sroka displayed a lot of the same attributes that got his number noted on first glance days earlier. At his age, Sroka is very lean with great size and big lower limbs. Mechanically, Sroka is very smooth and balanced, he throws a pretty ball, accurate on a variety of throws, and can put nice touch on the deep patterns. His arm strength and timing is developing. The floor on the young Sroka is quite high, and he will be a fun one to watch develop.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1627063"],"_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-6a02a48a01e35"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tyrcha has a build and frame that suggests this young trench bully is going to be a big one. He was practicing snapping the football during the event warm up. He moved ok during the agility testing. He has a proper level of development and growth to take place from a physical and athletic traits standpoint, but as a rising 8th grader he checks boxes. He enrolled to take reps at o-line but ended up taking reps on both sides of the ball and was in the MVP conversation at both positions. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2183205"],"_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-6a02a48a01ea8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Issa is a clearly undersized prospect for the position, but he showed up and went hard after it, commendable in the way he went about his business during drills, agilities, one on ones. His demeanor was notable, he was highly coachable, he wanted to learn, grow and compete. He was obviously able to use his natural leverage and quickness to make himself hard to block during the competition periods. In the end, he placed himself in MVP conversations based on motor, production, and a workman's mentality.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1135365"],"_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-6a03651893d61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ortiz was another very undersized young prospect but threw a ball that suggested ability to play much bigger than his measurables. Throughout the indy drills, Ortiz delivered the football with solid base mechanics. Once the event progressed into one on one periods, Ortiz caught the attention of the coaches running drills for his ability to deliver a very catchable football, giving receivers a leg up to make a catch in tight coverage or jump ball situations, placing the ball with touch and accuracy on rhythm throws. Ortiz has a nice technical foundation for his age, and is one to watch grow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>*** Use code StopPRZ30 to crack 30% off your subscription to Prep Redzone ***</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
