Expert Analysis
Cooper Morreale | Prep Redzone Scout
Derico Freeman is a talented dual threat out of Pinson Valley who has landed as our #11 QB in the class.
“At QB, Freeman can beat you with his arm and legs. He has impressive arm strength, can make accurate throws all around the field, and has the speed and mobility to bail out of the pocket and carve up defenses for huge plays on the ground.
I’m seriously impressed with Freeman’s ability to throw the deep ball, he made some massive plays as a passer last year, leading his WRs perfectly downfield for huge gains/scoring plays.“
Freeman even made some plays at WR last fall, ending his season with 823 passing yards and 8 TDs, 588 rushing yards and 4TD on the ground, and 215 receiving yards and one TD out wide.
With how well he played last fall, Freeman has picked up offers from Western Kentucky and North Alabama. It’ll be fun watching him in his senior year this fall, check out what he can do below:

Derrico Freeman Derrico Freeman 5'11" | 170 lbs | QB/WR Pinson Valley | 2026 State AL is a highly versatile prospect out of Pinson Valley who lined up and produced at QB and WR in some big ways last season.
At QB, Freeman is a talented dual threat who can beat you with his arm and his legs- he has impressive arm strength and can make accurate throws all around the field, while also having the speed and mobility to bail out of the pocket and carve up defenses for huge plays on the ground. I’m seriously impressed with Freeman’s ability to throw the deep ball, he made some massive plays as a passer last year, leading his WRs perfectly downfield for huge gains/scoring plays.
Freeman is just as impressive at WR- he’s a talented route runner who quickly gains separation all around the field, and once he’s open, he uses his hands to make some seriously impressive catches through coverage/contact. With his speed and acceleration, Freeman is a huge threat after the catch- he quickly revs up from 0-100 in the open field to leave defenders in the dust.
Freeman found ways to produce wherever he was lined up last fall- ending his junior year with 823 passing yards and 8 TDs, 588 rushing yards and 4TD on the ground, and 215 receiving yards and one TD out wide. With how well he played last fall, Freeman has seen his recruitment open up this offseason- he’s picked up offers from Western Kentucky and North Alabama in the last few months, and with his level of talent, those won’t be the last.
Be sure to check out Freeman’s tape below and this upcoming fall, he’s one of the most dynamic prospects out there and has a big senior season in store for Pinson Valley.
