Julian Walters – RB – North Gwinnett
- Walters consistently falls forward, and he will also bounce off of or shake loose from a couple of tackles to turn minimal gains into big runs.
- He’s a creative runner, finding cut-back lanes and often looking like a return specialist on some of his longer runs.
- His stop-start ability in traffic, exceptional balance, lateral agility and body control allow him to squeeze out chunks of yardage when it appears that nothing is there.
Jaden Dailey – RB – Camden County
- Strong interior runner. Quickly presses the line of scrimmage and has the burst to get through the line of scrimmage and into the second level quickly.
- His initial burst is excellent, and classic North-South runner who doesn’t waste time moving laterally.
Robert “RJ” Echols – WR – McEachern
- Echols is frequently put in catch-and-run situations, and shows good vision with the ability to make tacklers miss in space.
- He’s also a violent runner with the ball in his hands. He’s very good working outside the numbers, showing excellent ball-tracking skills.
Josh Anglin – LB – Mill Creek
- Anglin has a compact build, but Anglin is a crafty edge player who is very good against the run. He sets the edge and effectively wards off blocks with a strong core, powerful limbs, and natural leverage.
- He has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
Aiden Maddox – DL – North Paulding
- He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit.
- He has the classic frame and long arms with some explosion, power, and ability to close.
- Aiden can move laterally and chase in pursuit. A tough, violent tackler with a non-stop motor
