Summer Standouts: 2026s Breaking Out Big

I'm diving back into the 2026 class today with 5 studs who will look to demolish the competition come this fall. These gentlemen continue to raise their stock and deserve more eyes on their play!    Frasier had himself a productive junior season, and looks to build upon it for his senior season ! The 6'0 195-pound bruiser had 95 carries for 610 yards and 5 touchdowns. Frasier has very good athletic ability due to elite balance, very good speed, acceleration, and good change of direction. Frasier has very good vision and hits the hole with ferocity. When one is covered, he uses jump cuts to pivot into the next one. Frasier thrives with contact. He consistently creates yards after contact, whether through his powerful stiff arm or very good trucking. His elite balance is impressive, because when he starts to stumble or tackled, he regains his composure and thrashes the defensive for a big gain. Very good inside runner and good outside running with hitting the perimeter. Frasier also has good hands out of the backfield. His pass protection is another part of his game. He's willing to pick up the blitz and give his QB more time to find the man downfield. Keep an eye on Frasier's senior season !     Monroe is a constant thorn in the offensive's side. Having seen him up close with Mile High Prep this past spring, kid is a dawg. He had 65 total tackles (49 solo, 16 assisted), 1 TFL, 11 sacks, 2 FF and 2 FR. Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, lateral quickness, good change of direction, and speed. Very good strength. He utilizes his quick twitch and explosiveness to gain the upper hand against tackles. This edge rusher has a very good bend around the edge. Very good hand placement and hand strength. Monroe is a good block shedder with good get off speed. Monroe has strong tackler, and very good tackling form. Very good competitive toughness and pursuit. He doesn't stop till the play is finished and has a relentless pursuit. I'm a huge fan of this guy, and colleges NEED to take an extra look his way !     Balistreri is a dual sport athlete playing both basketball and football. He measures in at 6'1 160-pounds. Last season, he was a consistent target with 50 receptions for 738 yards and 4 touchdowns. Very good athletic ability due to very good jumping, acceleration, good change of direction, and speed. Balistreri is the jump ball specialist who comes up for contested catches and wins consistently. Very good release against off coverage and good release against the press jam. Uses his physicality at the LOS and during the route to get open. Good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and physicality. Balistreri has good route running skills. Very good ball tracking and catching. He is phenomenal with contested catches. He uses his big frame and jumping to propel himself up and make the catch. I'm very excited to see how Balistreri takes the next step in his development going into his senior year !     Measures in at 6'2 240 pounds, Zeck plays DE and DT last season, and also was a key member for the Mile High Prep defense. Last season, he accounted for 61 total tackles (33 solo, 28 assisted), 9 TFL, 8 sacks, 14 QB pressures, 2 PD, 1 FR, and 1 blocked punt. Zeck has very good strength and good hand speed. As an edge rusher, he demonstrates a very good bend around the edge, even getting a 1 arm sack. He maintains a low pad level to get underneath the OL's pad. Zeck is a very smart player. He will put his arms up to create pass deflections at the LOS. He also will rip/punch the ball out of the ball carrier. He is a very stout run stopper, and has very good tackler. One thing of note is his relentless pursuit and giving his all during the play. Keep an eye on him and recruit him too! He's a great young man and colleges NEED to recruit him !!     Bishop is a hit sticking safety who measures in at 6'1 180 pounds. Last season, he had 57 total tackles (39 solo, 18 assisted), 2 TFL, 2 INT, and 8 PD. Bishop has very good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, speed, good acceleration, and jumping. One thing of note about Bishop is his versatility. Goes between a corner and a safety. Bishop is prowls his zone, demonstrating very good reactionary skills. He trusts his eyes to lead him. Very good zone coverage and very good man coverage. He sticks to the WR like glue, and has very good closing quickness. I've spoken previously about how good he is at timing pass break ups, and I'm saying it again. Bishop is also very productive in run support and a very good tackler. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten more looks yet, but I believe with another strong outing, he will have tons of offers.
