<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>After the Prep Redzone crew spoke with multiple coaches and scouts across the nation, here are five prospects expected to receive more attention in recruitment throughout the summer and fall.

That's just the start of his recruitment. He's a willing blocker on the outside and causes mismatches vertically. He possesses a very good catch radius and demonstrates good hand-eye coordination. His strong hands and body control allow him to win contested catches and adjust mid-route. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/chases1_/status/2023539367726481411?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/chases1_/status/2023539367726481411?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1858209"],"_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":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6993e42b0b959"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1858209' first='Easton' last='Barksdale'] is going to have multiple eyes on him this fall after some conversations.
