Expert Analysis
Zack Reyes | Prep Redzone Scout
Buddy was a new addition to the 2027 rankings back in the summer of 2024 and made his biggest leap in the rankings with his productive junior campaign in the fall. The talented WR out of Spanish Springs caught 23 passes for 368 yards and 5 TDs last season. He’s a long, lengthy target at 6’3″/180 that can create matchup problems on the perimeter with his size. He gets vertical up the field with good straight-line speed, does a good job of attacking the ball at its highest point, and can go up and over smaller DBs in 50-50 situations. Buddy possesses a unique physical skillset that should help him generate some recruiting interest this offseason.

Buddy is a wide receiver that’s been on the PRZ NV radar since being added to the 2027 watchlist last summer and just entered the official rankings in this latest update ahead of the 2025 season. The Spanish Springs wideout packs playmaking upside in his 6’3″/180 frame and has the potential to develop into a matchup problem on the perimeter with the length and athleticism he brings to the table. Buddy just picked up his first offer from Central Methodist in June and should start to generate more interest with a productive junior season.

Buddy just picked up his first offer from NAIA-program Central Methodist last week. The 6’3″/180 wideout is a high-upside playmaker out of northern Nevada that’s on the PRZ breakout radar coming into his junior season with Spanish Springs. He brings great length and ball skills to the table as a perimeter threat. Buddy has been on the Prep Redzone watchlist since last summer and could be on the rise coming into the fall.
After a great talk with @DLeach37 I am blessed to have received my first offer from Central Methodist University! Extremely excited for this opportunity.@CoachDaveBrown @cmueaglesFB @PrepRedzoneNV @NevadaSportsNet @RGJpreps pic.twitter.com/5tfaNn0Voz

Buddy was a new addition to the PRZ NV 2027 WL last summer and is on the northern Nevada breakout radar ahead of his junior season. He’s shown promising flashes of athleticism and body control as a WR and brings great upside to the table in his frame and measurables at 6’3″/180. Looked to be still growing into his body in his sophomore season but with continued physical development, Buddy could be on the verge of turning himself into an effective playmaker for the Spanish Springs offense in the fall.
Off-season training is paying off. #wr @RGJpreps @PrepRedzoneNV pic.twitter.com/DxeAyrCuhA

Deacon-Buddy, a new addition to the 2027 watchlist, has put himself on the breakout radar with the flashes he’s shown this offseason. He’s a big-body WR at 6’3”/180 that could develop into a matchup problem on the perimeter with the size, strength, and body control he’s shown in 1v1s and 7v7s. He possesses the length to extend over smaller DBs, competes at the highest point, and snatches the ball out of the air with strong hands. Deacon-Buddy is a sleeper prospect with some of the highest upside of any 2027 WL prospect in Nevada at this stage.
