Notes: Two quarterbacks in Lamberth and Damron both have offers but have yet to really break into the national scene while Abston is a hidden gem that should surprise coaches during the camp circuit. Bishop is an athletic guy that provides a great combo of size, speed and power. Watch out for Miller and Hundley at the camps as both may be known in-state but are not outside this footprint. Fitzgerald and Carroll are two big, tall and long wideouts that are already on the map for P5 coaches but the offers have yet to float their way. The 2023 crop of offensive linemen are absolutely loaded and the four guys listed above in Needham, Freeman, Hull and Bledsoe all have college traits that fit well on the next level. Camp season should be huge for these maulers up front. Scott is a dynamic, versatile athlete that could excel on either side of the ball
Defense
– (DT) Ethan Jones Ethan Jones 6'2" | 275 lbs | DL Lausanne | 2023 State TN (6’2 280) – St. Benedict’s

Notes: Burklow is an intriguing talent that could have a bright future on both the football field or the baseball diamond. If he hits the football camp circuit, watch several offers come his way. Jones and Nevils are two under the radar tackles that can rush the passer. Wein immediately looks the part, so if he shows he can move and play in space during camp, college offers will happen. Foust and Scott are two highly active, productive guys that fit best inside in the college game. Bell, Sutton, Rogers and Fontechia are four high upside talents at defensive back that will have offers in due time. Vaughn is one of the more athletic and fast prospects listed here but what position will he be in college? Those answers could come during college camps. Carter and Page are natural athletes that is just waiting till their names are called for offers and then their recruitments could explode
