We had a highly skilled group on-hand with elite coaches leading the way. With that being said, here were my top offensive performers from Saturday’s Prep Redzone Georgia Showcase.
QB: Rodge Waldrop Rodge Waldrop 6'5" | 205 lbs | QB Brookwood | 2024 State GA Brookwood, 2024
Smooth mechanics to go with precise accuracy. Was dominant during 1-on-1s dropping deep ball after deep ball right into the breadbasket.
QB: Jared Echols Jared Echols 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB Alexander | 2024 GA , Alexander, 2024
Oustanding timing to go with quiet feet in the pocket. He’s a strong anticipatory thrower with the arm talent to challenge safeties over the top.
QB: Austin Guest Austin Guest 5'11" | 185 lbs | QB Creekview | 2025 State GA Creekview, 2025
An explosive quarterback prospect that tested well, clocking a 4.72 40-yard dash and a 4.25 short shuttle. He throws well on the move, shows phenomenal touch, and can get the ball out of his hand quickly.
QB: Michael McClellan Michael McClellan 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Johns Creek | 2024 GA Johns Creek, 2024
He’s got a great frame and has enough athleticism to improvise when the pocket collapses. McClellan can alter his arm slot at a moment’s notice and proved that he can fit the football into tighter windows.
RB: Dylone Brooks, Ruston, 2025
Sleek hands out of the backfield to go along with easy change of direction. Brooks has clean footwork, a strong lower half, and outstanding burst.
RB: Jeremy Howard Jeremy Howard 5'8" | 150 lbs | ATH Evans | 2026 GA Evans, 2026
A shiftier back with tremendous wiggle in 1 on 1 situations. Howard shows a ton of twitch, polished route-running ability, and a fierce competitiveness.
RB: Donovan Crow, Central, 2026
Crow ran well for a freshman, clocking a 4.66 40-yard dash. This young man is put together, can run with both finesse and power & displayed top-tier balance on Saturday.
WR: Jayden Swain Jayden Swain 5'11" | 170 lbs | ATH Woodland | 2024 GA Woodland, 2024
A slick route runner with natural hands in traffic. Swain consistently won his reps during 1-on-1s and created plenty of separation for his quarterback.
WR: Taz Smith, Johns Creek, 2024
A complete receiver prospect that catches everything within the framework of his body. Smith has good-build up speed and can easily open up his hips at the top of his route and work back to the quarterback.
WR: DJ Avery Chattahoochee, 2025
Avery can move, clocking a 4.60 40-yard dash, and used that speed to impose his will during 1-on-1s. He’s smooth, accelerates out of his cuts at the top of his route, and makes beating press coverage look easy.
WR: Jaden Howard Jaden Howard 5'8" | 155 lbs | ATH Grovetown | 2025 GA Grovetown, 2025
Soft hands, elite hand-eye coordination and has a killer instinct. Not the biggest guy out there, but all this kid did was make plays and consistently beat the man across from him.
TE: Hunter Green Hunter Green 6'2" | 230 lbs | TE West Forsyth | 2025 GA West Forsyth, 2025
Hunter is an explosive athlete for a man his size and put up some quality numbers, including a 9’6″ broad jump at 230 pounds. He used his frame as a weapon all afternoon, proved to be a natural hands catcher, and showed impressive flexibility.
OL: Mario Nash, Kemper County, 2025
Nash has a projectable frame, bends at the knees & ankles, and has a quick first step. He showed a fluid pass set, was a natural mover laterally, and has a punch with some serious force to it.
