There will be close to one million high school football players taking to the fields this Fall and accomplishing a number of goals.\u00a0 Along with chasing a championship and respect,\u00a0 a majority of the players will be looking to earn some of the very limited college football scholarships that are available.\u00a0 For some,\u00a0 the exposure comes easy. For others,\u00a0 their abundance of talent and skill will either go unnoticed or fail to receive the notoriety that it deserves.\u00a0 This articles highlights five prospects on the GridironStudsApp that many of you may not know but should.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Tyrone Pratt – WR – Berkner HS – Dallas, TX<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Tall WRs are the craze and Tyrone Pratt fits the bill. The rising senior out of Dallas, Texas is tall, long and athletic.\u00a0 What you will like about him the most is that he catches with hands which means he’ll go up and take the ball from people.\u00a0 Pratt also possesses some run after the catch ability.\u00a0 Since adding him to our GridironStuds Recruit Watch List some colleges have begun to take notice but not to the level that we feel he deserves.\u00a0 Pratt is dripping with D1 talent and it’s just a matter of time before he takes off.\u00a0 I fully expect his senior season to be a very special one.<\/p>\n

    2. Lonnie Phelps – DE – Mt Healthy HS – Cincinnati, OH<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Phelps is another rangy athlete that jumps off the screen.\u00a0 He posses a strong get off when lined up on the edge and he’s not afraid to use it.\u00a0 The offensive tackles that he matches up against all look to be woefully overmatched.\u00a0 Phelps would be ideal in a 3-4 defense where his versatility would be best used.\u00a0 He can rush off the edge as I mentioned but also looks athletic enough to drop in coverage,\u00a0 get into passing lanes and make things happen.\u00a0 At 6’3″ and a listed 4.69 forty in his profile,\u00a0 Phelps looks like he has the goods to make a D1 defensive coordinator happy.<\/p>\n

    3. Tyler Jones – RB – American Heritage HS – Plantation, FL<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If you like electric,\u00a0 if you like quick,\u00a0 if you like vision and if you like tough to tackle then Jones is that guy.\u00a0 At 5’7″ a prospect like this can easily get overlooked but when you see him on tape or in person visions of Darren Sproles come to mind.\u00a0 Jones is extremely strong making him undoubtedly tough to bring down. His low center of gravity causes defenders to have to take unusual angles to get him down.\u00a0 Jones also possess great vision and cutting ability.\u00a0 You will see him being very decisive with the ball in his hands as he is a naturally talented runner.\u00a0 Nothing looks forced for Jones\u00a0once the ball is tucked into his belly.\u00a0 Jones can be a threat in between the tackles, off the edge and out of the backfield. There are a number of ways you can use this athletically gifted prospect in your wide open offense.<\/p>\n

    4. Daquandre Taylor – RB – Albermarle HS – Charlotsville, VA<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Big and fast is a good thing right? Daquandre Taylor is a good thing.\u00a0 There aren’t a ton of 6’1″ 228 RBs on high school football fields.\u00a0 Somehow this one is overlooked.\u00a0 No slight on Virginia football here but put Taylor in South Florida, Southern California or in the heart of Texas and he’d be getting pulled out of class regularly to talk to recruiters.\u00a0 Whatever the case maybe for Taylor’s lack of deserved attention,\u00a0 you are ignorant no longer.\u00a0 Albermarle HS has a D1 prospect and you should go take a look.\u00a0 Taylor runs well behind his pads,\u00a0 has shown the ability to run away from people and he can also run a mean post route from a WR spot.\u00a0 Oh, Taylor will also line up at quarterback too for Albermarle and while he will typically run,\u00a0 Taylor will throw as well.\u00a0 It’s just a testament to his athleticism and did I mention that he is big too.\u00a0 Definitely a prospect to look at.<\/p>\n

    5. Cameron Cloud – WR – Northwest Guilford HS,\u00a0 Greensboro, NC<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Big plays, big plays, big plays.\u00a0 That’s all you are going to see on Cloud’s highlight video.\u00a0 Cloud’s 4.53 speed is on full display early and often on his highlight video. What you will also see are some solid ball skills combined with an ability to run after the catch.\u00a0 Cloud has the ability to pierce the middle of a defense for big yards or also streak down the sidelines to leave a DB in the dust.\u00a0 Cloud can split defenders or go around them but what I like the most is that he shows no fear when he gets his hands on the ball or when he’s trotting through the defense.\u00a0 At 5’9′ he doesn’t possess the length of a prospect like Tyrone Pratt but exceeds the quickness of bigger prospects making him an equal threat to do harm to a defense.<\/p>\n

    There you have it.\u00a0 Five very solid underrated prospects from across the country that deserve your attention.\u00a0 You can find all of these prospects on the GridironStudsApp.\u00a0 Whether you are a fan,\u00a0 a prospect or a coach,\u00a0 you should definitely have the GridironStudsApp on your phone or mobile device.\u00a0 The GridironStudsApp is the best recruiting app on the market and a wonderful way to connect college football prospects, coaches and fans.\u00a0 Download it now right here.<\/a><\/p>\n
