WL and Beyond 2027 Prospects Looking for A Bigger Opportunity

Today we will be looking at some players on the watchlist or that are unranked who are looking to carve out a larger role for themselves. These are the names of five prospects that you will need to know as we head deeper into the offseason as they look to gain reps or hit team camps to gain recognition.    Geworsky is a developing receiver prospect who is looking to turn limited varsity opportunities into momentum heading into the upcoming season. He saw action on both sides of the ball last year, gaining valuable experience while continuing to refine his overall game. Offensively, Geworsky has the potential to emerge as a bigger contributor in the passing attack. This offseason will be important as he works on route running, timing and building chemistry within the offense in hopes of carving out a larger role. If he is able to remain committed to development despite limited reps he will position himself for a breakout opportunity and Geworsky appears motivated to do exactly that. He remains an under the radar name but continued growth could quickly change that heading into the fall.     Rodriguez enters the offseason with an opportunity to establish himself on a team that is expected to receive significant scout attention this season. Last year, he finished with 31 total tackles, 3 tackles for loss, a forced fumble and a sack, showing flashes of his ability to impact the game defensively. Rodriguez plays with energy and physicality, traits that allow him to contribute in multiple situations. With increased offseason development, he has the chance to elevate his game and earn a larger role within the defense. Time in the weight room and additional competition opportunities could help sharpen both his physicality and overall confidence on the field. Playing on a team with heightened expectations also provides a platform for Rodriguez to gain recognition if he can capitalize on his opportunities and continue progressing throughout the offseason.     Gartrell is a prospect who made the most of limited opportunities last season, recording 14 tackles, a tackle for loss and a sack despite appearing in only a few games. His production in limited action shows encouraging upside and suggests he could take a significant step forward with more experience and reps. Gartrell enters the offseason focused on physical development, with the weight room expected to play a major role in preparing him for a larger role next season. Additional competition through the 7v7 circuit could also help him improve his instincts, reaction time and overall confidence against quality talent. If he embraces offseason development he will make noticeable jumps and he will positioned himself to potentially become one of those risers heading into the season.     If he returns to the field this season he will be looking to gain momentum quickly. While still developing, Barker has shown encouraging flashes that suggest he has the tools to become a contributor at the TE position. The upcoming months will be important for his progression as he works to improve physically, sharpen his technique and gain confidence through offseason reps and competition if he is going to return. If Barker does return he will be motivated to continue improving and making the most of every opportunity available to pop onto the radar. As he continues refining his game, he could emerge as an under the radar name worth monitoring closely during the upcoming season with his size and quickness.     Van Sickle is a multi-sport athlete who has spent much of the offseason competing in track, continuing to build athleticism, speed and overall conditioning. That background should translate well as he shifts his focus back toward football and looks to carve out a meaningful role this upcoming season. Van Sickle now turns his attention toward strength development and refining his football skills in the weight room and offseason workouts. Track often brings added explosiveness and movement ability to the field, traits that will help him stand out once opportunities arise. Van Sickle remains an under the radar prospect at this stage, but continued physical growth and increased reps could help him emerge as a player to watch. If he can capitalize on his athletic tools and earn consistent opportunities, he could rise quickly throughout the season.
