The offseason circuit is warming up all over the country with marquee events taking place every weekend. In the Mid-South region, many prospects have backed up their lofty rankings while others work to impress and improve their stock.
Rivals national recruiting analyst @samspiegelman highlights five prospects in the Southeast that have already boosted their stock this offseason.
Goodwin made a compelling case to be considered among the best at a premium position during our first in-person eval of the touted Arkansas lineman. Goodwin has a massive 6-foot-6, 315-pound frame and packs a powerful punch with enough strength to overpower opposing defensive linemen.
Goodwin has heavy feet, room to continue to grow and the position versatility to play either tackle spot or even work inside. At 6-foot-7 and 320 pounds, not many offensive linemen in the country are equipped with the size, length and physical tools like Goodwin, a strong contender for a rankings boost.
James has some of the best tape in the country and has taken the Sooner State by storm in recent months. After turning heads at UA Next Dallas, James put himself on the radar in a big way. The talented receiver from Norman (Okla.) North saw snaps outside and in the slot, and easily navigated downfield for big receptions.
He is seamless working in and out of his breaks and separating from opposing defensive backs. The touted receiver is a crafty route-runner with short-area quickness and is excellent firing back to the football and making plays in contested catch situations. His strong in-person eval followed some electric film.
