#PRZTN Spring Showcase Preview (Offense)

<!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Who from the offensive side of the ball is headed to the Boro this weekend for the PRZ Summer Combine? We got you covered right here with our Showcase Preview! </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Prep Redzone Prospect Combine finishes its tour in the Music City this weekend with more than 300 prospects headed to Oakland High School in Murfreesboro, Tennessee to not only make a name for themselves but kick start their recruitment's.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Multiple states will be represented on Sunday but our home state of Tennessee will be highly represented with prospects coming from East to West within the Volunteer state with several guys already holding offers in hand and others on the brink of adding them.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every position will be followed throughout the camp but the quarterbacks are always a major focus and this position is definitely the deepest of all groups within our Spring Showcase.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The senior class of course has the most guys set to attend with a few strong names to watch. Nolensville signal caller <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='288620' first='Ty' last='Collins'] </strong>has been building strong buzz this off-season and I'm expecting him to continue that on Sunday. Much of the same could be said for Centennial senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='148876' first='Elisha' last='Nieves']</strong> as this 6'4 passer has steadily improved throughout the off-season while adding on good weight.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CoachE99Nieves/status/1648139611217043456?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/CoachE99Nieves/status/1648139611217043456?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Florence (AL) quarterback <strong>Leo Glover </strong>is a talented passer who picked up an offer recently from North Alabama and if he puts together a strong performance on Sunday, expect more schools to promptly get involved. A few other seniors that will be attending include <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='268182' first='Brett' last='Cortez'] </strong>from William Blount, Rockvale passer <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='540000' first='Brennan' last='Mayhew']</strong>, Brentwood senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='550150' first='Baylor' last='Hayes'] </strong>and Middle College senior sleeper <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='281685' first='Matthew' last='Keller']</strong>. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The underclassmen set to be there this weekend might be stronger compared to their senior counterparts. The biggest name at the moment from the junior class is <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='480646' first='Jackson' last='Kilburg'] </strong>from Lipscomb Academy, who already holds a few offers in hand and is continuing to pick up recruiting steam as the weeks go on. Bartlett junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='279488' first='Kam' last='Alexander'] </strong>just landed his 1st college offer from UT-Martin and with strong work this weekend, I could see this West Tennessee product see a few more offers come his way.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Notre Dame junior starter <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='445180' first='Cash' last='Bandy'] </strong>is an intriguing talent to watch this weekend as he sports nice size, mechanics and mobility that fit well on the next level. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219433' first='Brady' last='Hughes'] </strong>from MUS is a talented passer with nice physical traits that has abilities to establish himself as one of the best at his position from the West Tennessee region.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A few other 2025 quarterbacks to know about are <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='534630' first='Kade' last='Butler'] </strong>from ECS, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='279486' first='Sam' last='Evitts'] </strong>from Sequatchie Co. and a rising junior with great size and potential in <strong>Hays Wright </strong>from Memphis Central.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 crop has a few strong names to follow on Sunday as well in <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='353896' first='Jackson' last='Stroup'] </strong>from Gallatin, Cannon Co. sophomore <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='819521' first='Eli' last='Garrett']</strong>, <strong>Tristan Colenberg </strong>from Germantown and <strong>Mason Fields </strong>from Dixie Heights, Kentucky, who stands 6 '3 almost 200 pounds, sporting the college size coaches pursue.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Moving into the offensive skill positions, both the running backs and receivers/tight ends have a bevy of multi talented guys headed to the Boro this weekend with a mixed bag of prospects who do have current offers and others waiting on them to arrive.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top senior name to watch is Brentwood Academy ball carrier <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='754725' first='Brax' last='Belville']</strong>. Well balanced with power and quick feet, Belville is beginning to pick up steam on the recruiting trail and could see those elusive offers arrive soon. Tullahoma senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='150283' first='Malik' last='Grizzard']</strong>, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='239447' first='Kamauri' last='Turner'] </strong>from Giles Co. and Lebanon running back <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='480627' first='Sean' last='Heath'] </strong>all bring a different skill set to the position with Grizzard being the big back, Turner is smaller but athletic, fast and versatile while Heath has a nice mix of size and speed.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":831488,"width":278,"height":278,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2023/05/bbelville2.jpg?w=400" alt="" class="wp-image-831488" width="278" height="278" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two junior running backs I'm interested in watching this weekend are <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='815325' first='Gage' last='Lee'] </strong>from Camden Central and <strong>Mason Bryant </strong>from local Father Ryan. Lee is a big back that shows on film deceptive speed but excellent feet and vision. Bryant is a smaller back at 5 '9 170 but is fast to the hole while showing the upper body frame to take on more size.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Memp. Central junior wideout <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='461255' first='Yasir' last='Muhammad'] </strong>is one of the biggest names performing at the PRZTN Showcase this weekend and I'm expecting this speedster to put on a show. The Warriors playmaker is a legit 4.4 guy that is beginning to pick up recruiting steam, landing a new offer recently from Temple.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":555880,"width":344,"height":516,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/Yasir-Muhammad.jpg?w=683" alt="" class="wp-image-555880" width="344" height="516" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two senior pass catchers who could push their stocks higher this weekend are <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='425290' first='Blake' last='Wolfard'] </strong>from Signal Mountain and Cordova 6'2 senior <strong>Maki Strong-Baines</strong>. Wolfard is a guy I know well and trust me, this guy can play and he has gotten better this offseason with increased speed and flexibility. Strong-Baines is a guy I'm very intrigued to learn more about as he has good size and long arms along with the frame to develop into a power forward style receiver on the next level.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The tight end group isn't large but there are a pair of names that have future's on the collegiate gridiron. Watertown senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='361241' first='Chase' last='McConnell']</strong>, who holds an offer from UT-Martin, is a big guy who moves well and also has a good frame for added weight. Knox. Halls junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='219379' first='Drew' last='Ross'] </strong>is slowly working himself into one of the best tight end prospects for the in-state #TN2025 class due to his ability to run after the catch while being able to get vertical.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our O-line group has a nice mix of veterans and youth embarking on Murfreesboro this weekend and a few guys that could take their recruiting stocks to another level with an outstanding camp performance.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Possibly the top two seniors on hand to watch will be <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='323147' first='Spence' last='Tankersley'] </strong>from Forrest and East Tennessee native and Science Hill senior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='623194' first='Tristan' last='Smith']</strong>. Tankersley is a big boy that has been generating some serious buzz of late, gaining interest from D1, FCS schools while Smith is a rock solid, physical interior lineman that is built like a college guy right now and just waiting on those offers to arrive.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Tankersley1205/status/1652117230925086722?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/Tankersley1205/status/1652117230925086722?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Baylor senior interior O-lineman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='417869' first='Dominic' last='Clifford']</strong>, Chuckey-Doak senior tackle/guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='617738' first='Toney' last='Hensley'] </strong>and <strong>Sawyer Parks </strong>from Moore Co. are three other senior O-linemen that are squarely on the recruiting radar but have yet to break through. Strong performances this weekend at the Showcase from Clifford, Hensley and Parks could go a long way in helping further their college recruitment.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Looking at the underclassmen for Sunday, CPA junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='323140' first='Brady' last='Smith'] </strong>leads this group as already one of the top interior O-line prospects from our in-state #TN2025 class and someone that holds offers from UNLV and Eastern Ky with interest from many others. Carter rising junior <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='323141' first='Hayden' last='Warwick'] </strong>could be on the verge of seeing his recruitment take off as he sports the guard look (6'4 270 plus) and interior mobility that college coaches like.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Two rising juniors set to attend that I'm looking forward to learning more about are Coffee Co. tackle/guard prospect <strong>William Copley </strong>and Morristown-West junior center/guard <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='466280' first='Seth' last='Patty']</strong>. Copley is very intriguing as he stands 6'6 265 pounds and there doesn't appear to be too much bad weight on him, so I'm very interested to see how this Raiders lineman looks and moves in person. Patty is a guy I've been following for a while as someone that could establish himself as one of the better center prospects from the East Tennessee region.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>All these offensive prospects mentioned above won't be the only guys to watch this weekend as many others will be there along with several who will show up that weren't registered. This looks like a talented crop of offensive prospects that will be there at Oakland this weekend, so expect some new names to jump out and established guys to land new offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"id":546183,"width":457,"height":436,"sizeSlug":"large","linkDestination":"none"} --> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prepredzone.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2022/12/79-Brady-Smith-e1670876834677.jpg?w=1024" alt="" class="wp-image-546183" width="457" height="436" /></figure> <!-- /wp:image -->
