Josh Flowers Josh Flowers 6'3" | 210 lbs | QB Baker | 2024 State AL 6’3 210 QB Baker 2024
Flowers can stand toe to toe with any QB in the state on any given Friday and could be the most underrated prospect in the state. Flowers’s arm strength, rapid-fire release, and ability to push the ball down the field with off-platform throws is elite, especially considering he’s only a junior. The velocity and pinpoint accuracy on the run make him a nightmare when he’s out of the pocket. However, Flowers can dissect defenses in the intermediate and deep field portions with solid ball placement when operating in the pocket. He’s also excellent with RPOs and can make reads at the snap of a finger. As a runner, he has a sturdy frame but can threaten his legs. He has solid game speed and sufficient shiftiness to dodge big hits in the open field. Look for Flowers to emerge as one of the more electrifying prospects of his class.

Josh Bonner 5’10 180 RB Banks Academy
Bonner is a well-balanced running back with great vision and acceleration. He excels as a one-cut back who can read and cut off blocks to get significant steam when getting to the second level. He shows nice balance in the open field and is deceptively shifty with declarations, hesitations, and dead legs. He runs with good leverage and can power through tackles when needed.
Thank you @Coach_Hoff_TSU for the official invite to the @TSUTigersFB JR Day ! @Uno_Kam @BanksJetsFB pic.twitter.com/E9gQzIIxc0

Skylar Townsend Skylar Townsend 6'2" | 160 lbs | WR Tanner | 2024 State AL WR 6’2 160 Tanner
Townsend is a receiver with elite size and uses this to his advantage whenever he laces them up. Townsends’ ball skills are very good for his age. He’s excellent at high-pointing the ball and getting it at its apex. He also does a great job of adjusting to odd angles and has a substantial catch radius. Townsend is also sure-handed and looks the ball in before taking off for yards after the catch. As a true deep threat, he constantly takes the top off of defenses and forces safety help to his side, opening up the field for others. Lastly, he’s solid at the goal line and can consistently win on fade routes with contested catches.
This year gone be special just watch. @DexPreps @kendallbarnes16 @2aBama_Football @EvanMckissack @LSUFBrecruiting @BobbyBarham_LSU @_JaredDTucker @Collins_OleMiss @MadisonSemo @Vol_Football @Erik_Losey @UCF_Recruiting @AL_Recruiting @Coach_Hankton @junioradams13 @willykorn pic.twitter.com/4IQu9i2IWh

Kohl Summerville Kohl Summerville 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR Gordo | 2023 State AL 6’3 200 WR/CB Gordo 2023
Though Summervile was a standout receiver for the Greenwave, he has all the physical tools to be a D1 defensive back. His outstanding wingspan allows him to jam receivers at an elite level. He constantly wins at the line of scrimmage, and visibility bumps receivers off their timing and original release. When making plays on the ball, he uses his receiving skills to high point it and make plays whenever the ball is near his substantial catch radius. He can also serve as an enforcer if he catches you down the middle. He does a great job of being the hammer and not the nail and pursues the ball with a purpose.
JUNIOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS EDITED AND READY TO BE WATCHED WON’T be disappointed 😮💨 @Rivals @247Sports https://t.co/axHuZlK3mD

Zion Grady Zion Grady 6'4" | 235 lbs | DL Charles Henderson | 2025 State AL 6’4 235 OLB/DE Charles Henderson 2025
Grady is a productive outside linebacker who moves smoothly for his size. He has an excellent first step that can cause trouble for both tackles and QBs. Along with his quick feet, he has quick hands and usually is first when initiating contact. He shows an ability to use his hands to keep himself clean and get to the QB quickly. When in the backfield, he shows nice burst and closing speed and rarely is outran by ball carriers. As he matures and grows into his frame, along with his athleticism catching up to his body, Grady should be one of the better DEs of the 2025 class.
