South
Tyreese Ford – RB – 6’0 220 – Absolute beast of a running back for South. Dating myself a bit, but reminds me of a Jerome Bettis. He has great balance and a low center of gravity. His vision between the tackles is coupled with a great burst. He is a back who will run you over and make you feel it. The offense runs through him on 1st and 2nd down as his leg drive routinely puts the Bulldogs in 3rd and short situations. Excited to see how he progresses with a full season under his belt in 2021.

Anthony Higginbotham – DB – 5’6 170 – Anthony is a really talented and athletic player for the Bulldogs. He is slow in his backpedal and maintains technique throughout the progression of the route. He goes up and attacks the ball in the air. He is a player who can play out on an island and remain in phase with the receivers. Very good tackler who brings his pads even though he is smaller in stature. Can play outside corner, slot corner, and FS. Does not let routes get behind him.

Walnut Ridge
Davonte Courtney – DE – 6’0 220 – Davonte is in the class of 2023. He has a lot of room to grow and a motor which never stops. Comes off the ball low and hard and gets his hands up and through the offensive lineman. Escapes blocks well and slingshots down the LOS with good knee bend. He has a couple of different pass rush moves he utilizes to his advantage. Excited to see his progression as he gets older.

Columbus West
Michael Griffin – WR – 5’10 170 – Michael is a very underrated talent on the west side of Columbus. He is athletic and a very good route runner. He comes in and out of breaks very smoothly with a knack for coming back to the ball. He has a turn and burst which rivals some of the best here locally. He can beat you over the top with speed and race to the End Zone. He is a game changer type of athlete who deserves a really good look.

Jermaine Barksdale – RB – 5’10 240 – Keep an eye out for this big back in 2021. He runs behind his pads and is very tough to tackle. Is fast and athletic and brings his pads to the tacklers. Looking forward to seeing his season next fall.
