Graham is one of the best WR prospects in the entire country, not just Indiana. The fact that we have him in the Hoosier state is a blessing because we get to see him before anyone else. He’s a freak athlete who has freakish speed, can jump out of a gym, and has incredible hands. Week to week, he’s usually good for a 75+ yard TD. This past week was no different. Throw the ball in his area and he’ll make the catch. Then, he’s the best athlete on the field so he makes everyone miss and finds his way to the end zone. The SEC has found him, and for good reason. He’s doing what he needs to in order to get the respect he deserves. Graham is a freak and to start the season, he’s been locked in.
NiTareon Tuggle – NorthWood – WR/CB – 6’3″ 190lbs – 2024
Tuggle is a really fun X WR with a ton of upside. So far this season, he’s done exactly what he needs to in order to put himself on the map. He’s making plays. With his lengthy frame you’d expect him to. The best part, he’s got the speed to run right by a DB. Standing at 6’3″ and having really good straight line speed only bodes well for your future. While he’s not the most developed prospect, he’s got the tools. He’s good outwide, knows how to use him frame, and then already has the speed to win on the outside. The confidence is growing each week and he’s gotten more comfortable. Tuggle is absolutely someone worth keeping an eye on moving forward because his ceiling is astronomical.
Colten Pieper – Columbia City – QB – 6’1″ 190lbs – 2023
Pieper has had a fantastic start to his season. He’s come out with a new confidence and swagger to his game that I don’t quite feel like we’ve seen before. He’s been able to get Fuller involved and feed him, and we know he can ball. Pieper knows where the ball is supposed to go and when. His timing has been fairly decent and he’s only gotten better each week. When he’s in a rhythm, he’s as good as anyone in the area. He’s got a decent frame, solid arm, and isn’t afraid to stand in the pocket and take a shot. There’s a lot to like with Pieper and the progress he’s shown to this point this fall. If he keeps it up, he’s going to put himself in a great spot for recruitment.
Martez Virgil – Brownsburg – WR/DB – 5’4″ 120lbs – 2026
Virgil is an incredibly shifty player who has elite speed and is great in open space. His JV tape to this point has been pretty exciting to watch. He’s got all the makings of someone who can develop into an elite route runner as well. His release off the line, especially for his age, is rather clean. You can tell he works in the offseason. Right now, the obvious question is size, but it hasn’t affected him to this point. You have to be able to catch and cover a guy to tackle him and to this point, that’s proven to be a challenge for defenses. Virgil is really fun and someone absolutley watching moving forward.
Jackson Buis Jackson Buis 6'3" | 290 lbs | OL Greencastle | 2024 State IN – Greencastle – OL/DL – 6’3″ 290lbs – 2024
Buis is one of the more sound linemen in his area and has been off to as good of a start to the season as you could ask. If you’re not talking about the O-line it’s a good thing and to this point, Buis has led the charge. His pass protection fundamentals are noticeably cleaner and he’s stronger and it’s also paying off. He’s able to get a nice base and fend guys off using just his upper body in certain situations. While not always ideal, to show the raw strength to do so only bodes well for his future. He’s been really good in the running game and has been tasked with more upfront this year. He’s got the size, the football IQ, and the strength to continue developing into something special. Buis is off to a great start and hopefully he starts to get some of the respect he’s earned.
