<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As high school football hits the mid-mark, Prep Redzone Scout Drew Johnson will highlight some rising Under the Radar recruits from the Polk, Orlando, and North Florida areas who he thinks can play at the next level. As noted frequently, Prep Redzone Florida aims to provide adequate coverage of all athletes for college coaches At All Levels for readers to evaluate. Let's get into some of the stats, Hudl films, and recent offers from some of the rising prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong><em>Omari Russel | DB | Class of 2026 | Fort Meade | @omari_russell</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Stats: </em></strong><em>31 total tackles, 4 INTs</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Russel is one of the top DB prospects in the county no matter the class. He's a long and athletic player with a good IQ for his age. Really good speed and hands he uses to cash in interceptions. Should see an uptick in college interest as the season concludes.&nbsp;</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Hudl: </em></strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16371503/Omari-Russell"><strong><em>https://www.hudl.com/profile/16371503/Omari-Russell</em></strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong><em>Tahjae Mcqueen | WR | Class of 2024 | Haines City | @TahjaeMcqueen10</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mcqueen gives off that DOG energy each time I see him. He moved over to Haines City High for his senior season but has shown off good route running skills. Got to get my eyes on his development as we head into the final part of the fall season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Film: </strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14828420/Tahjae-McQueen"><strong>Tahjae McQueen – Hudl</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>Caleb Stokes | OL | 2024 | Lakeland | @Big_Tex51</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The teammate and friend of the dominant Darian Anderson, Stokes excels in his own right. The state-champion offensive guard displayed his talent and skill set while competing against both linebackers and defensive edge rushers. Really good bend and knows how to use his hands. Three aspects of his game: power, explosiveness, and versatility. Stokes is learning techniques from the well-known offensive line coach Koty Hix.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Film: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17015723/652a29118cdefd08d85c402c">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17015723/652a29118cdefd08d85c402c</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong>Quantavious Calloway | 2024 | ATH | Winter Haven | @CoveBoiiQue</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Calloway moved over to Winter Haven this season where he's been used as a utility piece on both sides of the ball. Callaway has an athletic and compact build that he uses to surprise defenders in the open field when he jolts and dashes with explosiveness combined with good speed. The senior prospect is a high-motor energy player who can be a dynamic playmaker at the next level with more work put in during the offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Film: </strong><a href="https://x.com/h2_recruiting/status/1714063161282683013?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ"><strong>https://x.com/h2_recruiting/status/1714063161282683013?s=46&amp;t=E0s2L9z46AqxWmKm25SmTQ</strong></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontSize":"17px"}}} --> <p style="font-size:17px"><strong><em>Rickeem Armstrong | WR | Class of 2024 | Lake Gibson | @Rickeem4</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>An athletic prospect who</em> has played multiple positions but is <em>mainly used as a wide receiver.
