<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Expect plenty of action this weekend at Prep Redzone's 7v7 Steel City Collision event in Pittsburgh. One of the most well-known teams competing is 412 Elite, a squad loaded with top-tier talent. There are two teams within 412 Elite. 412 Black boasts an impressive group featuring multiple top rated Prep Redzone prospects, including [player_tooltip player_id='388165' first='Scoop' last='Smith'], [player_tooltip player_id='489202' first='Khalil' last='Taylor'], [player_tooltip player_id='452655' first='Chrys' last='Black Jr.'] , [player_tooltip player_id='1338079' first='Lawrence' last='Timmons'], [player_tooltip player_id='855477' first='Zykir' last='Moore'], [player_tooltip player_id='399290' first='Michael' last='Ruffin'], [player_tooltip player_id='1158787' first='Jayden' last='Revis'] and [player_tooltip player_id='944092' first='Donte' last='Wright'] to list a few. Meanwhile, 412 Yellow brings its own firepower, ready to make an impact.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='671840' first='Nelson' last='Coleman']'s next level coverage skills make him a shutdown defender against deep threats, while rising stars [player_tooltip player_id='1040182' first='Jarelle' last='Mason'] and [player_tooltip player_id='671930' first='Javien' last='Robinson'] are two young prospects with D1 ability that I'm especially excited to watch up close. With their combination of talent and playmaking ability, this squad isn't just here to compete—they have the potential to win it all this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This team is stacked with top-tier talent set to be on display in Pittsburgh. Keep an eye on standouts like Maceo Watkins, Juelz Johnson, [player_tooltip player_id='1607990' first='Anthony' last='Portis'], [player_tooltip player_id='855326' first='Devin' last='Harris'], Dajuan Webb, [player_tooltip player_id='915830' first='Tre' last='Littlejohn'], and Nico Major.

He's a true gunslinger who can make throws both on the move and from the pocket in traditional gridiron play. His ball placement and anticipation are lethal in 7-on-7 action. With a dynamic group of playmakers at his disposal, things could get out of hand for opponents if his team finds chemistry early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["992349"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb17bc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith had a historic freshman season and is set to carry that momentum into the 7-on-7 circuit. His timing on throws is impressive, and his mechanics are advanced for his experience level. With a strong arm and a natural ability to deliver the deep ball, he'll be a player to watch tomorrow. It's no surprise he's already drawing FBS interest, with a bright future still ahead of him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["388165"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb1803"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We all know how explosive Scoop is with the ball in his hands. The real question is whether he can be stopped without a pass rush to aid the defense. Smith, another highly respected athlete on this platform, continues to rack up FBS offers thanks to his electrifying play. Simply get the ball to Scoop and watch the magic happen.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489202"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb1845"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is the top-ranked athlete in his class on Prep Redzone—and for good reason. He's a dynamic playmaker who can dominate on both sides of the ball. As a receiver, he's a constant deep threat, and on defense, he's a ballhawk with the range to cover significant ground in the secondary. There's no doubt he'll be a key weapon for 412 Elite. Khalil is another highly regarded Western Pennsylvania recruit, boasting a long list of FBS offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["452655"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb1889"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Black is another highly regarded prospect who showcased plenty of potential during his freshman season. He's a tough, competitive defensive back who thrives in man-to-man situations. After finishing the season with three interceptions, he's poised to make even more plays this weekend. With multiple Power 4 offers already in hand, Chrys will have another chance to showcase his talent tomorrow.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489184"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb18c9"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gabe is a another two-way player who will be ready to make an impact. He holds offers from Maryland, Penn State, Michigan State, and West Virginia, among others. Jenkins is another versatile athlete, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him take reps on both sides of the ball. Having watched him before, I'm impressed by his competitiveness in coverage as a defensive back. One thing that will that will stand out this weekend is his elite ball skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["671840"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb1947"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158787"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb1987"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two defensive backs with FBS-level talent who will be exciting to watch in man-to-man situations are [player_tooltip player_id='1158787' first='Jayden' last='Revis'] and [player_tooltip player_id='671840' first='Nelson' last='Coleman'].

His combination of ball skills and natural coverage ability will give opponents trouble all weekend. With his straight-line speed and fluid athleticism, he can easily line up at receiver, track the ball, and make big plays downfield. Whether locking down a matchup or stretching the field on offense, Jay is a difference-maker to watch.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944092"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c244ceb1a0b"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["399290"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c246f25ff48"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1623754"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67c246f25ff9a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Three Clairton Next Level prospects to watch are Division I talents [player_tooltip player_id='944092' first='Donte' last='Wright'], [player_tooltip player_id='399290' first='Michael' last='Ruffin'], and [player_tooltip player_id='1623754' first='Jaece' last='Booker'].
