Mr. Football: 4A Pre-Season Watch List

Some of the best players in Mississippi find themselves competing in 4A divisions all across the state. Our next Mr. Football installment takes a look at some of those names and who you need to have an eye out for as the season continues to inch closer. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/trent-singleton/">[player_tooltip player_id="104072" first="Trent" last="Singleton"]</a> | QB | Raymond | SR Singleton embodies the do it all athlete at the high school level. With success as both a track and football standout, Singleton possesses some the best overall athletic ability in the state.The Raymond HS duel threat had right at 3,000 all-purpose yards as a JR with 36 TD’s. A true ATH that most likely projects to the next level as a WR or DB, Singleton will be a handful for south Mississippi defenses. Mississippi State secured his commitment back in May. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/larry-simmons/">[player_tooltip player_id="104205" first="Larry" last="Simmons"]</a> | WR | Moss Point | SR As coveted a WR as there is in the state this go around, Simmons had a huge JR season catching 45 passes for 847 yards and 10 TD’s. At 6"2 with a lean frame and a good burst off the ball, Simmons can line up just about anywhere as a wideout. Simmons easily passes the eye test and projects nicely to the next level. The Moss Point standout is committed to Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/cj-hill/">[player_tooltip player_id="104160" first="CJ" last="Hill"]</a> | RB | New Albany | SR Hill is a bowling ball style north/south runner that comes downhill with vengeance.  4A defenses struggle to bring him down due to the physicality and power he runs with. Hill had over 1,200 yards with 15 TD’s in only 9 games last season and will look to lead the Bulldogs of New Albany. Under-recruited for the time being, Hill is a name to keep an eye on. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/isaac-smith-3/">[player_tooltip player_id="107295" first="Isaac" last="Smith"]</a> | ATH | Itawamba AHS | JR You never know where Smith is going to line up and contribute. A true athlete with production on the hardwood of the basketball floor in addition to the football field, Smith had nearly 100 tackles and 6 INT’s as a Sophomore in a tough Northeast MS 4A division. He physically looks prepared to step on a Power 5 field already. Offers currently from MSU, Ole Miss, Notre Dame and West Virginia. <a href="https://prepredzone.com/player/carlos-brown/">[player_tooltip player_id="104156" first="Carlos" last="Brown"]</a> | RB | Stone | SR Brown opened eyes across the state last season scoring 14 times in only 8 games with 1,315 rushing yards. Moving into Region 8-4A this year the Tomcats will look for Brown to lead the way again. Brown has an offer from Southern Miss.
