The Future Stars Game started as an event to provide a student-athlete with an elite event in a college environment. It has quickly become a must-see event, if you want to know who the next greats are. Here is a look at the 2026 Defensive Linemen, selected to play on the 8th grade Georgia Future Stars team.
Caden Lawrence | Defensive Tackle
Lawrence is a 5-foot-11, 240-pound interior guy who plays low to the ground and disrupts plays regularly in the backfield. Has enough weight to take on double teams without giving up ground, but also displays enough quickness to defeat them, if he gets off the snap quick enough. Plays with a confident swagger and loves the game.
COLLIN DAVIS COLLIN DAVIS 6'1" | 250 lbs | DL CEDAR GROVE | 2026 GA | Defensive Tackle
On a Defensive Line comprised of a lot of Lamborghini’s, Davis is tank in the middle of that defensive front. At 6-foot-1 and 285 pounds, right now he’s the complete package as a Defensive Tackle. He can bullrush and show off his power, or he can show off his hips and hands with a variety of quick moves. He’s a two-gap player that can completely take over games at times.
Dimitri Glenn Dimitri Glenn 6'0" | 210 lbs | OL Buford Highschool | 2026 GA | Defensive Tackle
While Lawrence and Davis are your traditional wider bodies on the interior of the line, Glenn brings an element of quickness to the inside. Stands 5-foot-11 and 209 pounds and plays fast and physical off the snap. The 2026 class in the state of Georgia has the potential be the best in recent history, and the overshadowed Glenn is in a prime position to open a lot of eyes with a big performance here.
Jonah Wilson | Defensive End
Wilson is a very good looking prospect out of Carrollton. At 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds he will give the opposing Offensive Line fits with his speed and quickness. He’s built like a Running Back and explodes off the line with lightning quickness. Ran the fourth fastest 40-yard dash time of any 2026 prospect that tried out, with a 4.69 in the forty. Projects to be more of an Athlete than anything else. Get familiar.
Michael Johnson Jr. | Defensive End
With the roster composition as is, Georgia’s plan is to get after the opposing Quarterback with speed rushers and plug up the middle with size. Johnson Jr. is a happy medium of the two types of Defensive Linemen selected. At 6-foot and 210 pounds he’s big and strong enough to be brought inside on short yardage situations, but also quick enough to leave in the game on obvious passing downs.
Christian Willis | Defensive End
Smaller Linemen (in comparison) that brings depth and energy to the Defensive Line group. Stands 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds who plays well against the run. Much of this Defensive Line is designed to get after the Quarterback, but Willis balances that by playing under control on the edge. Does a good job of collapsing down on interior runs and keeping his outside shoulder square on runs towards the edge.
Zamir Mosley | Defensive End
My first time hearing about Mosley is this selection–so I’m pretty unfamiliar to this strengths and weaknesses. I like the fact that he’s 5-foot-10 and 210 pounds right now. Also like that he was clocked at a 5.44 in the 40-yard dash. I’m looking forward to getting a better look at him in a few weeks.
Kaiden Richardson | Defensive End
Another guy that adds some size and depth to both positions on the line. for the Georgia Future Stars. Stands 5-foot-9 and weighs 203 pounds with a very quick first step upfield. Was a stand out at the Albany tryout and ran a 5.44 in the 40-yard dash. Looking at personnel, I’d guess Georgia’s base defense will bounce between a 4-3 and a 3-4 depending on situation. He’s a great fit in either scheme.
James Morrow | Defensive End
You won’t find eighth graders like Morrow everywhere–he’s different. The scary part is, he’s nowhere near reaching his potential. Stands 6-foot-4 and 225 pounds with incredible length and strength. Has played Offensive Line, Tight End and Defensive End during his middle school career. Could start at 90% of high school programs in America right now. He is a no-brainer future P5 player. I’d offer now!
Kaheem Davis Kaheem Davis 6'0" | 190 lbs | LB Woodstock | 2026 GA | Defensive End
Really like the style of ball Kaheem Davis Kaheem Davis 6'0" | 190 lbs | LB Woodstock | 2026 GA plays as a Defensive End. Explodes off the edge like his hair is on fire. Gets upfield quickly, but doesn’t get washed out. Plays Tight End on the offensive side of the ball and displays encouraging athleticism at 5-foot-11 and 212 pounds. Nobody on the planet is on the same level as Rams All-Pro, Aaron Donald. However, Davis’ build and playing style are reminiscent of Donald.
