St. Stanislaus’s very own Jacob Bradford Jacob Bradford 6’3″ | 245 lbs | DL Saint Stanislaus | 2024 State MS is starting to catch fire in terms of his recruitment this off-season. This January he will be attending two big time Junior Day’s at Florida State and Colorado. Jacob also recently picked up an offer from Colorado last week, which was his first Division 1 Offer. This off-season will prove to be pivotal for Jacob recruiting wise. After picking up his first P5 offer, I’m anxious to see what schools follow suit. His production as a Junior was as exceptional as they come. Bradford was able to post 110 plus tackles and almost 10 sacks last year. I look forward to hearing this kids name a lot more in the next 6 to 8 months.
Highlights
Attending: Mississippi State’s Junior Day, January 28th
This 6’4 290 pound prospect has had himself a great off-season up to this point, specifically January. Taccofah turned 17 years old a couple of weeks ago and has been putting in crazy work on his birthday month, starting 2023 off right. Earlier in the month, he was chosen as a top performer of the 2023 All-American Bowl National Combine. Lewis made the Top 5 list of lineman for the combine for his performance. The event features the nations top 600 underclassmen for the ’24-’27 classes. Based off of clips and highlights posted from that day, Taccofah was able to show why he should be one of the more sought after interior linemen for his class. He displayed great strength and technique in one on one match-ups versus the nations best pass rushers. Lewis will also be in attendance at Southern Elite’s Fall Brawl camp at Hattiesburg High School this weekend. I’m sure we will see Taccofah Lewis Taccofah Lewis 6’4″ | 270 lbs | OL Pearl | 2024 State MS ‘s stock continue to rise in the coming months, stay tuned.
Attended: Tennessee’s Junior Day, January 14th
JJ Harrell JJ Harrell 6’1″ | 175 lbs | WR North Panola | 2024 State MS is one of the more known wide receiver prospects in the Magnolia state, and his recruitment reflects just that. In the short time that passed within January, JJ has gained four more official offers from Auburn, Louisville, Tulsa, and Jackson State. The University of Tennessee offered him just last month in December, and I’m sure they are trying to impress early on. Last weekend the Vols recruiting staff laid the red carpet out for JJ and several others on their Junior Day. He seemed to be impressed, but that question is yet to be fully answered. LSU was one of many other schools looking to get involved in the recruitment of this 4-Star prospect, but ultimately as the days go on the line and list grows. As we creep into 7v7 season. I’m excited to see when and where JJ Harrell JJ Harrell 6’1″ | 175 lbs | WR North Panola | 2024 State MS will be turning heads this off-season.
Attending: Mississippi State’s Junior Day, January 28thrnKaleb Bailey is an absolute unit of a prospect out of the 2024 class. The 6’5 330 pound Junior comes by way of Adams County Christian, and he is a man amongst boys in the trenches. His strong punch and violent hands are a thing of beauty to watch as an offensive line guy. His skill-set and feet are not to shabby either, especially for his size. Kaleb was able to catch the eye of a few programs in area, as he took to college campuses for a few game invites this past fall. A few schools on different levels have pulled the trigger on Kaleb. Florida Memorial University, Arizona Christian University, John Melvin University, and Fayetteville Christian CC. There is some interest in Kaleb’s talent, but I am expecting that interest to grow over the next 6 months.
