Recruiting Spotlight- Final January Commitments!

January was a great month for recruiting in the state, but as signing day approaches, decisions start to be made. In this Recruiting Spotlight, we focus on some of January’s final commitments! &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="125433" first="Kylon" last="Griffin"]-DB</strong> |6’1 180| |Montgomery Catholic|</span> [player_tooltip player_id="125433" first="Kylon" last="Griffin"] was a fantastic player during his time at Montgomery Catholic and finally is seeing his long recruiting process come to an end. Griffin, a Mississippi State commit for most of 2021, decided to de-commit in early December to weigh his options. As time went on, he received more looks from top-tier programs like Clemson, USC, and Nebraska. As January came to a close, Griffin came to a decision, and is singing to Clemson! Griffin is a super versatile tough defensive playmaker that will greatly benefit the Tigers as he heads there this fall! &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="217479" first="Beau" last="Sellers"]-OL</strong> |6’4 305| |Wicksburg|</span> [player_tooltip player_id="217479" first="Beau" last="Sellers"] is an offensive lineman that we have had eyes on for a while. Sellers was an integral part of the Wicksburg offensive line throughout his entire high school career, consistently providing great protection for his quarterback while also being a crucial part of the run game. Sellers had received offers from Birmingham Southern, Millsaps, Faulkner, and others, but ultimately decided to commit to in-state Troy. Troy is getting an all-around great offensive lineman that has plenty of experience, and will be a great addition to the Trojans 2022 recruiting class! &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="127519" first="Jakobie" last="Hurley"]-WR</strong> |6’5 190| |Florence|</span> [player_tooltip player_id="127519" first="Jakobie" last="Hurley"] is a massive wide receiver that was extremely valuable for Florence’s passing attack last season despite missing 6 games. Hurley is huge standing at 6’5 190, and has the athleticism to make fantastic plays outside, especially when it comes to his yard after catch ability. Hurley was routinely able to use his speed and toughness to take short passes for massive yardage or touchdowns, consistently being an explosive receiving threat. Surprisingly, Hurley was slept on a lot during his high school career and didn’t receive much collegiate attention. However, Hurley was able to commit to instate North Alabama and will look to continue his playing career there this fall! &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="281979" first="Cai" last="Mayowa"]-WR</strong> |6’2 197| |Hoover|</span> [player_tooltip player_id="281979" first="Cai" last="Mayowa"] is another slept-on wide receiver in the 2022 class that impressed a lot last fall with Hoover. Mayowa has great size, speed, and route running ability that allows him to create separation and overpower defensive backs. Mayowa also possesses high awareness, he has a great feel for what to do every play, and it’s seen in times where he’s catching along the sideline, or where he runs after the catch. Mayowa was frequently a very reliable receiving option for [player_tooltip player_id="125939" first="Bennett" last="Meredith"] and Hoover’s offense, consistently making great plays and moving the chains. Mayowa was also surprisingly underrecruited, but will be heading to Jacksonville State this fall! &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="281980" first="Blayne" last="Myrick"]-ATH</strong> |6’3 215| |Fairhope|</span> [player_tooltip player_id="281980" first="Blayne" last="Myrick"] is just a really great football player, he can perform well in a ton of different positions and contributes in tons of ways.  Myrick lined up at strong safety, outside linebacker, wide receiver, and kick and punt returner, effectively having a place in all three phases of the game. Myrick thrives mostly on defense, he has a great ability to pick off passes and make tough tackles everywhere on the field. When asked on offense, Myrick can be a really reliable receiver as well, he has a great set of hands that rarely drop passes. On special teams, Myrick routinely was able to return kicks and punts all the way to the end zone. Overall, [player_tooltip player_id="281980" first="Blayne" last="Myrick"] was highly important to Fairhope’s entire program and is going to provide that same talent to South Alabama over the next few years! &nbsp;
