Jayden Evans Jayden Evans 5'8" | 185 lbs | RB Effingham County | 2024 State GA – RB – Effingham County
- Not truly explosive, but possesses enough speed to beat linebacker to the edge.
- Not the biggest, strongest or fastest but makes it up with preparation and instincts.
- 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.
Justus Savage – RB – Langston Hughes
- Savage flashes initial burst and good lateral quickness to sidestep defenders or bounce runs outside with very good foot quickness. Displays very good feel as an inside and outside runner with above average vision to make sharp cuts
- 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.
Kale Woodburn – WR – Houston County
- Good release, super quick off the line of scrimmage with good change-of-direction ability.
- Has long arms to stiff-arm defensive backs in the open field. Willing to lower his pads to run through tackles for extra yardage.
- Very good athlete with a nice combination speed and quickness
Trent Thomas – DB – Grovetown
- Good short-area quickness who can break in an instant and jump the route in the flat
- Has great hip swivel and is natural in coverage
- Anticipation skills and explosive, downhill burst could make him a star in a zone-based scheme
- Changes directions with ease and has the frame to hold up at any spot in the secondary
Reece Fountain Reece Fountain 6'1" | 175 lbs | QB Rome | 2024 State GA – QB – Rome
- Fountain has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
