A few of these prospects hold lower level offers but are still waiting on the Division one level to come through. We took an in-depth look at the Top three!
Royce Tolbert – RB – Columbia High School
- Has the feet and feel running between the tackles and in the open field. He has very good vision and patience to pick through defenses.
- Shows a surprising burst to beat linebackers to the edge. Can plant his foot in the ground and explode, showing better straight-line speed than expected.
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he’s rarely caught from behind.
- Quick feet with good vision to pick through defenses. He has solid hands and body control and is a reliable receiver.
- Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn’t have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
Jontavious Curry – RB – Thomson High School
- Compact build with a thick upper body and leg strength. Runs hard and with balance, is a patient runner who makes subtle, energetic cuts to make up for his modest explosiveness.
- Excels in short-yardage situations – puts his head down and drives through
- A balanced runner with a good combination of wiggle and lower body strength. Possesses a great initial burst with natural explosion and start-and-stop ability to make guys miss – can turn on the jets in a flash.
- Slippery runner with excellent acceleration and quickly gets to top speed in space he won’t be caught from behind
- Has the feet and feel running between the tackles and in the open field.
Malachi Jackson – WR – McNair High School
- Jackson is a smooth athlete with outstanding size and strength
- Has the size, length, and strength to defeat press jams. Can make the spectacular catch. A decent open-field runner with some agility and the ability to break tackles.
- Shines on vertical routes, eating up a cushion with long strides, and getting downfield before DB’s can turn their hips. He has a great combination of size, athleticism, and body control.
- A dominating deep threat ability.
- Uses huge frame and long arms to deliver quality, powerful blocks on defensive backs.
