Expert Analysis
Vic Castillo | Prep Redzone Scout
Braden Reed Braden Reed 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Pope John Paul II | 2025 State PA will set the tempo on offense, Makel Parker Makel Parker 6'4" | 220 lbs | DL Pope John Paul II | 2025 State PA will set the tone of defense. PJP2 will deploy two top 100 worthy prospects, with Parker formerly ranking inside that threshold just a couple of months back. 6’4/6’5, a lean-cut 230 pounds, I’m a bit surprised more FCS schools haven’t pounced on the athletic profile and skillset of Parker’s yet. Parker claimed a scholarship offer out of Maine back in May, yet I’m out of the loop as to whether this offer still stands. One thing’s for sure, his tape is worthy of said offer still standing true. Although Parker fits the prototypical EDGE mold in terms of measurables, this is a young man who is capable of playing any position across the defensive line at the HS level. PJP2 has explored a ton of different alignment variations, with many popping up on Parker’s end-of-season highlight tape. I’ve spoken about Parker potentially gaining weight in prior years, he did just that while maintaining speed and burst off the snap. Emphasis on hand usage looks clearer in his junior tape that it ever has. I know FCS schools will still be on the lookout for a prospect with athletic potential like Parker, I’d still hold out hope if I were him. Look for PJP2 to potentially use Parker on both sides of the ball. He has done so in the past, the exodus of high-profile names might call for two-way demand.
