Jimothy Lewis | Madison – Ridgeland Academy
With two years left to compete, the Jackson area rising JR is a name that is already well versed and known. Lewis is the number 1 player in the state for the 2024 class in our current rankings and before all is said and done will probably be one of the top tackle prospects in the country. Lewis bloomed physically at a young age and shows elite next level length. Movement is not awkward as he shows flexibility and poise. Athletic frame that contributes in all phases. Best player on the field already at his age. Future first round projection is without a doubt in reach.
Isaiah Autry Isaiah Autry 6'6" | 280 lbs | OL Itawamba Agricultural | 2024 State MS | Tupelo Christian Prep
Power 5 offers are rolling in for the big guy from northeast Mississippi. Autry holds down the left tackle position currently for TCPS but the jury may still be out position projection wise. Frame is still growing even though he is already in the 6″5 range. Room to add muscle and strength to match. Moves very well and in control for his size. Level of competition is not great and will cause some adjustment period to be needed at the next level.
Joe Koury Joe Koury 6'1" | 270 lbs | OL Madison Central | 2024 State MS | Madison Central
With a state championship already under his belt as a sophomore, Koury is a guy that we believe is flying a bit under the radar. Question for now is if he will grow physically into a guard or tackle. Love the motor that Koury plays with. Has the “look” of a center with athleticism. Sophomore tape shows him get better and better throughout the 2021 season against arguably the best competition in the state. Whether he morphs into a guard/tackle or stays on the inside, this is a guy that plays hard-nosed you are going to want to have.
