Tristan Childers Tristan Childers 5'11" | 215 lbs | RB Boaz | 2025 State AL 5’11 190 RB Boaz 2025
Childers is a young running back with all the tools to become a D1 recruit. He’s explosive for his size and has a nice burst whenever he touches the ball. Though he shows great long speed in the open field and also has enough strength to lower his shoulder whenever the situation calls for it. In addition, Childers shows great contact balance for his age and always keeps his feet moving, resulting in extra yardage after contacting. Though he’s a freshman, he has a muscular frame, solid speed, and sufficient strength to build on as he continues his high school career.

Hunter Otwell 6’2 225 OLB/DE Pell City 2024
Otwell is an ultra-athletic linebacker with D1 size, strength, motor. He pops off the screen due to his physicality when engaging with blocks and his ability to be an anchor in the run game. His ability to rip, bull rush, or simply grown man blockers out the way is impressive and allows him to make plays in the backfield consistently. Though his first step is solid, his long speed is ridiculous and enables him to affect plays with elite range, which is rare for a defensive lineman. He can run sideline to sideline, disrupt lateral passes, and run downplays even he’s on the opposite side of the field, which speaks to his motor and football character. Lastly, Otwell showed notable play recognition and reaction when he made his read. He does a great job in pass coverage for his position and can handle RB and TE assignments.

Monte Henley 6’0 165 FS Parker 2023
Henley is a safety with elite range who can cover significant ground in the pass and run game. His natural speed is compounded with his ability to read and react, making him even faster and giving him an upper hand to mitigate big gains. In coverage, he excels while working the zone. Henley knows how to read the QB’s eyes and drives on the ball to make plays. He shows good ball skills when going up for interceptions and can be a ball hawk when he catches a rhythm. Henley can operate as a single high safety and erase many mistakes due to his instinct and speed. He is willing to make tough tackles against bigger opponents in run support situations, which showcases his positional fluidity due to his ability to cover deep as a free safety and play with physicality and instinct as a strong/ rover safety.

Rayshawn Williams 6’0 200 RB Gordo 2023
Williams is a solid back who can provide burst, physicality, and finishing at a high level. With a north and south running style, he excels at cutting off of blocks and getting to the second level of the defense with steam. Williams shows excellent footwork when moving laterally to find gaps in the defensive line. At his size, he’s very light on his feet, shows great acceleration when hitting interior holes, turning upfield on perimeter runs, and making moves in the open field.
Trust da man above he’ll always make it happen 💯‼️@gordo_fb @t_bailey5 @RyanLolley2 #patience pic.twitter.com/HtvepzIvht

Ayden O’Neal 5’9 200 OLB Handley 2023
Oneal is a solid outside linebacker who is dependable, fundamentally sound, and aware of everything going on around him. Though he’s an outside linebacker, he plays with mike linebacker instinct. O’Neal is consistently around the ball and is excellent at finishing plays with solid tackles. With a sturdy 200 pound frame, he can take on blocks directly and get to the ball without a misstep. O’neal is also excellent at not taking false steps and getting where he needs to be.
