Redmond attacks downhill with solid post-snap vision and the elusiveness to navigate through traffic and make defenders miss in space. He's a prospect to add to the recruiting board. </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/Armane1_/status/2104145738028532144?s=20 </div></figure>   <h2 class="wp-block-heading"></h2>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2342025' first='Ethan' last='O'Hara'] went 17-25 (68%), 293 yards, and one touchdown through the air, making him a prospect to watch in week five. O'Hara is able to dissect zone coverage and attack the full field from the pocket with poise. He displays solid ball placement and has next-level potential. </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/ethan_ohara/status/2103920200953524294?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Lawrence Clark is a young prospect who flew onto our radar last week. He racked up 220 yards receiving and four touchdowns. Clark also had 12 tackles and one interception. Offensively, he's a lengthy target with solid hand-eye coordination. Defensively, he plays through the whistle with his high motor. </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/lawrencecl52065/status/2103590356822765624?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Jack Keirns is flying under the radar with experience at defensive back and wide receiver. Last week, he racked up four tackles, one tackle for loss, one reception for 17 yards, and a touchdown. Keirns will attack downhill with solid angles of the ball carrier and make a play in space. Keep an eye on him.</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/GRINDTIME11_/status/2103910992824659993?s=20 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1338293' first='Will' last='Textor'] was tough to block last week and played sideline-to-sideline. He racked up three tackles, two tackles for loss, and two sacks. Consistently creating penetration and forcing the opposing offense into tough down-to-distance situations. Off the snap, he engages with solid pad level and use of hands to create leverage and shed at the point of attack. </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/will_textor/status/2103928683320811616?s=20 </div></figure>
