Teddy Prochazka won’t likely be complaining to you about an early exercise or a taxing practice drill.

Are you serious? Man, he’s been waiting to roll into spring ball ready to pop pads sans a green (warning) jersey hanging in his locker since he moved to the Lincoln campus.

“Like last year, I’d be out and they’re all doing live work and scrimmaging and all that,” Prochazka stated. You simply sort of watch from the sidelines and think, ‘Dang. I would want to exert every effort to be

outside of.You just kind of carry each rep close to your heart because you never know when it might occur again.”

Additionally, in his fourth year as a Husker, Prochazka might have the advantage of both good looks and good play.

Notes on weekly rankings: Several new ratings in 2025 along with a full scouting intelligence package
More than a dozen notes are available on 247Sports after many talent-filled competitions in the west and several camps throughout

the State of the Lone Star.
The nation is still seeing action from premier camps over the offseason, and the most recent 247Sports weekly rankings notes mainly rely on the national scouting team’s live exposure from events in cities like Los Angeles and Las Vegas to Dallas and Houston, among others. Readers will find some heavy lifting on the live scouting front in today’s breakdown from Greg Biggins, national scouting analyst for 247Sports. Biggins gives double-digit scouting reports, with numerous players from the 2026 initial Top 100 and the 2025 Top247.

We also have some debut grades from several states, such as a promising defensive lineman from Louisiana, an elite defensive back from East Texas, and more. Here are this week’s rankings notes, starting with a more in-depth examination of outstanding cornerback Daryus

Dixson’s latest performance at camp.

SCOUTING NOTES: DARYUS DIXSON, 2025 TOP247 CB

Daryus Dixson of Santa Ana, California’s Mater Dei didn’t take home the DB MVP award at Sunday’s Under Armour Next Camp in Los Angeles, but he certainly could have and had a pretty good workout. He had a fantastic physical appearance: he was six feet tall, 180 pounds, had long arms, and could sprint alongside anyone. Although he is the most physically powerful cornerback in the West and plays a very aggressive style when wearing pads, he demonstrated superb cover abilities in this situation in addition to trying to intimidate the opposition’s receivers at the line.

Dixson continued to be aggressive in the press, knocking several receivers off-sides.

He had even more brilliance when playing off-coverage, showcasing his agility when breaking on routes ahead of him and his ability to spot double moves down the field. Following his recent visit to Auburn, he is being pursued by Georgia, Tennessee, Penn State, USC, Washington, and Oregon among other universities. — Greg Biggins, national scouting analyst for 247Sports

NOTES ON SCOUTING: BRAYDEN JACOBS OT CLEMSON COMMIT 2025 TOP247

Brayden Jacobs, an offensive lineman from Buford, Georgia, caught our eye during the Polynesian Bowl Combine in Las Vegas this past weekend. He won MVP honors and received an invitation to the 2025 Polynesian Bowl. He is among the largest humans we have ever seen, measuring between 6 and 8, 335

pounds. In addition to having good weight support, he had surprisingly good speed and lateral agility for his length.

Jacobs practiced both left and right tackle and didn’t lose a rep in one-on-one drills. With an early punch that sent a few edge rushers reeling, he won many reps. He had no trouble changing direction to elude the defenders trying to beat him inside; he did a great job slipping his feet and staying ahead of the speed rushers. He also had a cruel streak, and instead of being satisfied with merely getting a rep, he wanted to physically abuse and knock his opponent to the ground. The son of former New York Giants running back Brandon Jacobs, the Clemson commit undoubtedly lived up to

den Trimble of Mt. Zion, Illinois, will visit the Ole Miss football program this coming weekend, April 13, and watch the Rebels play their annual spring game. Trimble, a three-star prospect, is ranked as the No. 91 wide receiver in the country and the No. 15 player from the state of Illinois’ 2025 class by the industry-generated 247Sports Composite index. The Rebels are the first SEC program to offer Trimble an offer, joining Illinois, Iowa, Iowa State, Michigan State, Nebraska, Minnesota, Miami (Ohio), and Kent State on his offer sheet. Trimble expressed his excitement about receiving the Ole Miss offer.

his impressive position in the Top247 as the

a natural pass receiver with the quickness to outrun any defense. In the 2026 inaugural Top 100, the Ohio State commit is presently ranked as the class’s top receiver and as the seventh-best player overall. He spent the weekend at USC, and this summer he plans to visit Texas, Texas A&M, and Oregon. — Biggins 123rd player in the country. — Biggins

Second-year wideout for Mater Dei, Santa Ana, California More people watched Chris Henry Jr. than any other player, and a camera was even dedicated to following him around all the time. He dazzled everyone at camp and seemed unaffected by the attention. Henry is one of the class’s longest receivers at over 6 feet 6 inches and 195 pounds, but he also possesses unexpected agility and lateral speed. He can start and stop on a dime, is explosive right out of the gate, and clearly has a tremendous catch radius. Henry performed admirably on the gauntlet drill and looked fantastic.
