The combination of speed and route running is tough for opposing defensive backs to contend with on the field. Last week, Hancock had the opportunity to take a visit to the University of Missouri. He is a playmaker to watch as the season starts to wind down for the Bruins.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1545310' first='Golden' last='Tate']-Kicker/Punter-Heber Springs-6'4” 185-Pounds-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1545310' first='Golden' last='Tate'] has had a tremendous 2026 season for Heber Springs. The combination of leg strength and accuracy are traits that scouts will want to take note of each game. He is a weapon for Heber Springs. Tate can either pin the opposing offense back or put the points on the board from a kicking perspective. He has been invited to visit Bethune-Cookman for a game in a few weeks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2075763' first='Kylor' last='Robertson']-Linebacker-Nettleton-5'10” 205-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nettleton has a history of producing talented prospects over the years. [player_tooltip player_id='2075763' first='Kylor' last='Robertson'] fits that description perfectly. Robertson does a great job of reading the opposing quarterback. He sheds blocks quickly and puts himself in a position to bring down the ball carrier. Robertson's impressive play has not gone unnoticed. Robertson earned a scholarship offer from North Dakota State College of Science this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1964472' first='Levi' last='Manning']-Wide Receiver-Valley View-6'3” 190-Pounds-2027</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1964472' first='Levi' last='Manning'] is a wide receiver who has flown a bit under the radar. However, he is a dangerous prospect who can reliably stretch the field. He has the catch radius to be a problem for opposing defensive backs. Manning is a target in the red zone and will make plays in the red zone. On Thursday, the Valley View wide receiver had the opportunity to take a visit to Arkansas State University.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1308037' first='Luke' last='Barnett']-Linebacker-Rivercrest-6'0” 170-Pounds-2028</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Rivercrest linebacker uses his instincts well to see the play before it develops. He sheds blocks quickly using his speed. Meanwhile, Barnett is the type of linebacker who can pressure the opposing quarterback or drop back into pass coverage. Barnett had the opportunity to take a visit to Arkansas State this week for the South Alabama game. He is a player to watch out for as the season winds down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
