Jack Patterson Jack Patterson 6'2" | 195 lbs | QB Northpoint Christian | 2024 State TN – QB – 6’1″ 182 – Northpoint Christian HS / @jpwooo
Patterson puts great zip on the ball and can fit the ball into tight windows with no problem. Has the arm strength to make throws downfield while on the run. He was put into several situations where he had to escape the pocket and elude defenders while still trying to find an open receiver. Plays well off-script and creates big plays when the pocket collapses. Uses his elusiveness in the pocket to keep plays alive and to get him out of bad situations. Being able to make plays out of structure is important more than ever in college football today.
Drake Fisher Drake Fisher 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB Sullivan East | 2024 State TN – QB – 6’1″ 185 – Sullivan East HS / @DrakeFisher2024
From an accuracy standpoint, Fisher is pretty good. He has great accuracy on short routes and puts the ball in front of receivers to let them make a play. On short and intermediate throws he is usually accurate and flashed the ability to find success to the outside. Mobility is a good trait for Fisher, when he tucks and run he can make defenders miss and pick up extra yards on broken-down plays. When Fisher finds open space, he has the potential to explode for a big play.
Nick Moog Nick Moog 6'0" | 215 lbs | RB Anderson Co. | 2024 State TN – RB – 5’10” 200 – Anderson County HS / @mavnwm18
Moog possesses great vision when looking for space to run. He has good patience and will let things happen in front of him. From that point, he can get take the proper angle, get to the hole and gain yardage. When defenders take his running lane, Moog showed the ability to adapt. He can bounce runs to the outside when nothing is there for him inside the tackles.
Tyran Forte – LB – 6’0″ 167 – Chattanooga Central HS / @TyranForte24
He’s noted as being a “see-ball, get-ball linebacker”. The tape surely supports that. The Chattanooga Central High School product takes correct pursuit angles at an outstanding rate. The athleticism is outstanding too, making it easy for him to track down the ball carrier. All around, Forte is a stud.
Benjamin Jorge – LB – 5’11” – Pigeon Forge HS / @BenjaminJorge13
Jorge does a great job at wrapping up and grabbing the ball carrier and bringing him to the ground. There weren’t many missed tackles from Jorge. He’s a really big hitter. Can make up space in a hurry and make up for the ground he loses earlier in the play.
