Continue ReadingJust about every day I receive film from players from all around the country. Today I have highlighted a few players who stood out from the crowd and are on a lot of recruiting boards. All of these athletes are uncommitted at the present time and deserve some attention. So every once In a while I will review and highlight a few athletes that send in their film to either Prep Redzone or myself.
If you know of any athletes that should end up on this list that goes out to thousands of college coaches and high school football fans across the country then send us their film and we will eventually review it. Not everyone gets selected and there is no guarantee that any athlete will end up on this list but they will be considered. If you would like to send film or coaches if you would like to inquire about these athletes, please follow the author on Twitter @LoboRecruits and or you may send him an email at emmanuel@prepredzone.com.
Antonio Robinson Antonio Robinson 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR Melissa | 2021 TX – Melissa, TX | Class of 2022 | WR
Class of 2021, 3-star wide receiver Antonio Robison, has a great frame at 6’3 190 and he uses it to his advantage. He has a great vertical leap and catches the ball at the apex, flashing timing and high pointing ability. Antonio shows the ability to make yards after the catch and make players in the open field miss with his dangerous speed and agility. “ I have great hands, and I feel like nobody can guard me when I’m on the field,” Antonio told me in a recent conversation. I believe that’s the type of attitude and confidence a receiver needs to have when he is out there in the field. Recently reclassified to the class of 22′ his recruitment is open for the meantime. He has offers and interest from Eastern Michigan, Memphis has shown interest, received an offer from New Mexico State University and the University of Arizona.

Denim Collins – Westlake ( Austin, TX) | Class of 2024 | DB
Class of 2024 defensive back who has great size for his age. Presses the Line of scrimmage well and plays the run and pass well. Shows the ability to breaks on the ball and make pass deflections to make interceptions. Plays for the raining state champions in 6A DI football. Well, receive excellent coaching under famed Texas head coach Riley Dodge.

JT Fayard – Foster HS ( Foster, TX) | Class of 2023 | QB
Impressively-built QB with requisite height and frame potential at 6’4 190 Ibs. This is a recruit that is on big-time recruiting boards like Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M who have all shown interest in JT. He shows the ability to throw the ball downfield and with an amazing touch, which he makes look routine. He has adequate footwork that pairs well with his arm strength in the vertical passing game. This is a QB that has put in extremely hard work on his technique and mechanics with some of the best QB coaches in the country. TJ is competing this offseason with EPS Blaze who is sponsored by Adidas and has some of Texas’s top talent on the team. “I am so excited to jump in and start working, – the Foster system is perfect for me,” JT said. Who recently transferred to Foster High School this past year in 2020. I will be looking forward to seeing what this QB does this year and where he ends picking to go to college in the near future. There is no doubt he will have his choice to go anywhere he wants to go in the country.

BJ Foster – Lakeshore ( Mandeville, LA) | Class of 2021 | WR, RB
BJ is a speedy athlete who is a great utility player on the gridiron. He is dangerous at the slot receiver position because of his blazing speed that he flashes on the field. He can truly make defenders pay with his elite speed and athleticism. As a receiver BJ can burn DBs in the vertical passing game, running underneath the ball and tracking it well to take it into the end zone. You rarely see this receiver have to fight for the ball or show off his vertical leaping ability, which he does have but rarely has to use, largely in part because of his dangerous speed.

Jonathan Nwobodo – Ridge Point ( Missouri City, TX) | Class of 2021 | DE , MLB
Great build for a Defensive end that looks solid and one that looks like he has put in a lot of work in the weight room. He has a great burst off the ball on the line of scrimmage and has the speed and high motor to make plenty of tackles for losses or sacks in the backfield. He is a distributive presence on the D-line and can shed blocks well with his hand moves and speed. I see him continuing to grow and get better at the next level to be a serious pass-rushing threat at the next level. Jonathan currently holds offers to Trinity University, North Florida Tigers, McMurry University, Texas Lutheran University, North Park, Howard Payne University, Sul Ross State, and others.

Nathan McDaniel- Post High School ( Post, TX) | Class of 2021 | DB , RB
Average height and size for a DB at 5’11 175 Ibs. Where Nathan lacks in size he makes up for it with his elite speed and tackling abilities. He is a big-time hitter who brings the lumber and looks to make a devastating blow each time he goes to make a tackle. He shows dangerous speed and agility that can launch him into the opponent’s backfield for a TFL or a sack on the QB. In his tape, I did not witness his pass protection skills as much but from what coaches say they are adequate and he can rack up pass deflections. Nathan has a high motor and it shows in his pursuit to the ball, as he flies to the ball and makes plays. Utility player as well that can be used on both sides of the ball at running back and on special teams as a return man. The only reason his coaches allow him to do play multiple positions is because of his supreme athletic ability. Hardin Simmons has offered as well as McMurry University and Southwestern Oklahoma State University.

Andre Mitchell – Southwest High School ( San Antonio, TX) | Class of 2021 | RB, WR
Average height and size relevant to the running back position or even comparable to a slot receiver. Andre has tremendous speed and agility that is dangerous on the gridiron. Everyone knows speed kills and can win football games. Well, this is a speedy running back that can make people miss out in open space. He has shaky moves and a nasty stiff-arm to pair along with his speed. Defenders rarely lay a hand on him being a mismatch of speed. Andres standing to full sprint speed is phenomenal as well, he can go from zero to sixty miles an hour in a blink of an eye. Cal has shown interest and the University of Central Arkansas as well as others. This player will be a heck of a steal for any coach willing to offer this athlete.

Danny Davis Danny Davis 5'9" | 170 lbs | ATH LBJ | 2021 TX | LBJ ( Austin, TX) | Class of 2021 | DB / ATH
Danny is a little below average height and size at 5’8 but you know the only reason why he made this list is because he is a phenomenal athlete and he doesn’t let his size determine his ability or effort on the field or in the classroom. He has elite speed and agility who is like a swiss army knife who will make time plays on both sides of the ball or on special teams as a return man. Shows that he can make big plays from the slot receiver position paired well with a terrific route running ability and ability to make yards after the catch. Southeastern Oklahoma, East Central University, and the University of Mary Hardin – Baylor have all offered Danny. I know Danny is underrated because of his size but his play will do the talking on the field and could be a steal for any school.

Harrison Wilmsen Harrison Wilmsen 6'8" | 205 lbs | QB St. Louis Priory | 2021 MO – St. Louis Priory ( St. Louis, MO) | Class of 2021 | QB
As a junior Harrison completed 172 passes for 277 attempts and 2,503 yards to pair with 25 touchdowns on the year. He has an impressive build for a QB at 6’9 215 Ibs, Harrison definitely looks intimidating coming off the bus and during warm-ups. When he plays, you’ll know he is a big-time gunslinger with a strong arm. Moves surprisingly well for his size and has adequate speed due to his athleticism which I believe is very well for a QB his size, it’s just astonishing. Footwork and mechanics could use a little work at the next level but the intangibles are definitely there for Harrison. A two-sport athlete who has Division I offers to play basketball at the next level. Coaches don’t sleep on Wilmsen, he just might commit to playing basketball and or choose one of his offers that other football schools have shown interest in him. He loves the game of football and after talks with him and his family, he is just waiting for the right school to offer him.

Bryson Singer Bryson Singer 6'3" | 210 lbs | QB Parkersburg | 2022 State WV | Parkersburg, WV | Class of 2022 | QB , ATH
Bryson is a true dual-threat quarterback with above-average size at 6’3 205 lbs. He is a big-time QB with elite arm strength for a quarterback. He can touch defenses through the air or on the ground with his dangerous speed and agility. He is Prep Redzones NO. 1 ranked QB in the class of 2022 as of right now. Bryson pairs his athleticism with one of the stronger arms in the 2022 cycle. He is just as comfortable throwing on the move as in the pocket and does not need to set his feet to deliver a well-thrown ball. He has a nasty pump fake and can make all the throws either vertically or down the middle of the field. He throws the ball downfield with amazing touch and accuracy on the ball. Shows the ability to move well within the pocket and elude pressure and keeps his eyes down the field to throw the ball before he decides to run. Maintains good footwork and mechanics throughout the entire game and can hitch up in the pocket to make downfield throws with velocity and accuracy. Probably the most well-rounded athlete on the list. In speaking with his family and his father Brian , the thing they are most proud ” his work ethic in the weight room and in the classroom, as well as his willingness to go play anywhere where he can help his team“. Akron, Marshall, Columbia University, Penn football, Harvard have all shown interest. He is loyal to the state of West Virginia and I believe he would end up choosing Marshall University or West Virginia to play and continue his academic career.

Hamidou Diallo – Harlan ( San Antonio, TX) | Class of 2021 | DB, LB , ATH
Last but certainly not least, all-district outside linebacker, strong safety Hamidou Diallo is first and foremost an amazing kid both on and off the field. He is very smart, humble, and has a willingness to work hard and be dedicated to his goals. For his size at 6’1 196 Ibs. he is a sure hybrid defender that can be lined up at strong safety or at an outside linebacker. He has the athleticism and cover skills to play defensive back and his size and ability allow him to also play the outside linebacker position. He shows an amazing burst of acceleration and burst of the ball to go along with his relentless pursuit to the ball carrier. He flys all over the field to make tackles for loss and tackles well out in space. Defiantly brings the lumber when he makes a tackle, you will hear the clack from the collision of shoulder pads from the press box. Hamidou also shows the ability to have patience, fill his gap, and make tackles for loss. He can get after the quarterback and or make TFLs in the backfield. Hamidou has that underdog mentality that he has felt to prove people wrong his whole life and he carried that chip on his shoulder on the and off the gridiron. His family is military and are immigrants from West Africa and have always preached grades first. That is why in talks with Hamidou, he said he wanted to become a “Sports medicine major”. Currently holds offers to Southwest Minnesota State University, Bluefield State and interest from many others.
