<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Quarterbacks </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='150308' first='Jack' last='Risner'] </strong>(6'4 225) - Blackman: A tall, strong armed passer with pro-style offense experience, Risner is a top ranked quarterback by #PRZTN left on the board headed into the 2nd signing day. Recruiting has been quiet for some time now for Risner but he has the physical traits and offensive knowledge that would fit well with several programs across the country. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102210' first='Ryan' last='Damron'] </strong>(6'0 195) - Henry Co.: Damron is a gamer with great mechanics and a strong right arm that has picked up a few FCS offers down the stretch but still remains available for the taking. This guy would be a steal for whoever signs him! </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102284' first='Walker' last='Martinez'] </strong>(6'0 190) - Anderson Co.: One of the smartest QB's from our #TN2023 class, Martinez is coming off leading his team to the 4A state championship and this guy brings a lot to the QB room between his knowledge, leadership and passing abilities. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Others to Know: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='302318' first='Isaiah' last='Tate']</strong> - Germantown, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102204' first='Devon' last='Crenshaw'] </strong>- Springfield, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102267' first='Drew' last='Lambert'] </strong>- Cleveland</p>

<p>-------------------</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Running Backs</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102219' first='Malaki' last='Dowell'] </strong>(5'10 185) - White Co.: The state's leading rusher still sits out there on the open market but according to the Warriors star senior, he could be close to making a commitment. There are a few weeks left however for Dowell to add more offers and if he does, they will be well warranted because this guy is legit!</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102246' first='Tre' last='Hartwell'] </strong>(6'0 225) - Independence: Hartwell is a physical specimen that brings several strong traits to the backfield. He is a well built, powerful runner that can pick em up and go while also being a good receiver too. This is a strong, versatile back that brings good value to the backfield. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102256' first='Jai' last='Hundley'] </strong>(5'9 195) - Oak Ridge: Back in the summer of last year, Hundley was one of the hottest RB recruits from the East Tennessee region but for one reason or another, this Wildcats ball carrier remains free for the taking and whoever lands this guy will be getting a well balanced back that can hit the big one. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='259585' first='Juan' last='Bullard'] </strong>(6'1 200) - East Hamilton: Bullard did everything for his Hurricanes offense this past season where he played QB for most of the year but was still able to show off his superb running abilities, which has him ranked within the Top Ten backs by #PRZTN for the 2023 class. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Others to Know: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102265' first='Zamaryion' last='Kendall'] </strong>- Lausanne, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='200429' first='Caleb' last='Hampton'] </strong>- Baylor, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102288' first='Ahmad' last='Miller'] </strong>- Whitehaven</p>

<p>------------------</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Wide Receivers</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='151256' first='Demitrius' last='Bell'] </strong>(6'0 170) - McGavock: Bell is the top overall prospect available currently from our #TN2023 class and as things sit right now, it looks like the Raiders star receiver may be headed down the JuCo route. Bell has received 20 plus D1 offers but may have to wait a while longer before he displays his outstanding athletic abilities on the D1 gridiron. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102307' first='Adarius' last='Redmond'] </strong>(6'2 180) - Powell: Much of the same above can be said for Redmond as well. Headed towards the 2nd signing day, it's looking more than likely that this Panthers receiver will be going JuCo as well, which means another big time talented Tennessee based receiver will be available over the next few years. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='197134' first='Kaleb' last='Carver'] </strong>(5'9 165) - Green Hill: Athletic, fast and versatile, Carver is one of the best multi-tooled receivers in the state and he sits available for anybody interested in adding his skill set to their offense. Carver brings a lot of juice to the playing field where his talents can be utilized in a variety of ways. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='297330' first='Anthony' last='Crowell'] </strong>(5'8 165) - Lebanon: Crowell has sat under the radar for most of this recruiting process and he's still looking for a home as we kick off the new year. The Blue Devils senior wideout plays much bigger than his size and has the kind of skill set that translates very well to the next level, so he will be a steal for whoever signs him. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Others to Know: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='277664' first='Donovan' last='Smith'] </strong>- Chatt. Central, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='201088' first='Trey' last='Joyner'] </strong>- East Nashville, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='328654' first='David' last='Cole'] </strong>- East Hamilton, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102271' first='Reed' last='Linder'] </strong>- Briarcrest Chrst. </p>

<p><strong>Tight Ends</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102280' first='Mena' last='Mannan'] </strong>(6'4 225) - Franklin: Mannan has been the hottest tight end recruit over the past two months and he could be on the verge of making his decision. The Admirals talented pass catcher announced recently his plans to commit at the beginning of next month but time remains for others to offer, get involved and possibly change the direction of his recruitment. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Others to Know: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102208' first='Griffin' last='Cropp'] </strong>- Brentwood Acad., <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='205277' first='Drew' last='Evans'] </strong>- Dyer Co.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Offensive Line </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='305266' first='Elijah' last='Prather'] </strong>(6'4 285) - LaVergne: This is the top rated O-linemen by #PRZTN still available for the taking and Prather is a talent that could develop at multiple positions within the offensive trenches. Athletic and physical, the Wolverines senior blocker might have to hit the JuCo ranks before he gets to the D1 level but Prather should be there sooner than later. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='102352' first='Joshua' last='Wade'] </strong>(6'4 305) - Knox. Webb: `Wade is one of the more intriguing O-linemen from our #TN2023 class as he shows on film the ability to play on the D1 level but also shows that he needs more development as well. If Wade ends up on the FCS playing field, he will be a steal and a player that could reach the D1 ranks one day. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>- <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='207350' first='Asher' last='Skyles'] </strong>(6'4 265) - Baylor: Over the past few months, Sykes has been one of the biggest stock risers at his position as he was a key cog on the Red Raiders championship O-line and someone that could play a variety of roles within the offensive trenches. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Others to Know: <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='317188' first='Andre' last='Allen'] </strong>- Fayetteville, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='228149' first='Derrick' last='Keith'] </strong>- Riverdale, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='185581' first='Joshua' last='Reaves'] </strong>- Bartlett, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='153479' first='Zach' last='Turk'] </strong>- Oakland</p>
