In our upcoming weekly scouting reports, we will provide detailed analyses of key players to watch and highlight potential risers or promising prospects who may not have received much attention so far.</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2237681' first='Oshae' last='Vidal'] is a prospect to add to the recruiting board. He displays solid quickness off the snap, quickly getting into the body of the opposition, creating leverage, and shedding to make a play at the line of scrimmage. Vidal can work underneath blocks and down the line to create havoc. They're home against Lawrence to kick off the season. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-x wp-block-embed-x"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Vidal27Oshae/status/2092777151401456057?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2351286' first='Kenny' last='Diaz'] is a rising kicker with offers from Central Methodist, Friends University, Northwestern Oklahoma State, and Southwestern.
