Conner Wheeler – RB – Powell HS
Wheeler has plus ability in quickness, balance, acceleration, agility, and speed. Seldom if ever taken down by the first defender. Plays chess with tacklers, leaving them guessing his skill move. Impossible to take down in the open field thanks to his athletic prowess and functional strength.
Tripp Pinion Tripp Pinion 5'11" | 180 lbs | ATH White Co. | 2025 TN – QB – White County HS / @PinionTripp
Pinion is very comfortable in the pocket and has the instinct to step up when it collapses, or escape the impending rush. Keeps his feet aligned at all times, allowing him to deliver quickly from a sturdy base or off-platform. Shows the ability to drop his arm angle and execute passes around defenders flailing arms.
Lamarkus Dunn Lamarkus Dunn 6'1" | 160 lbs | ATH David Crockett | 2024 TN – RB – David Crockett HS / @dunnlamarkus23
Dunn is not just a wide zone runner with between-the-tackles capability. Adept in both gap and zone schemes. Comfortable vision, hitting cutbacks with enthusiasm by way of exceptional acceleration. Can and will hit a second gear in the open field. Sophisticated in the passing game, running a plethora of routes. Soft hands with a smooth stride out of the catch point.
Kayden Melton – DE – McMinn County / @kayden_melton
Melton demonstrates quick, first step-explosion, along with great strength and versatility. Melton has been utilized on the outside to set the edge and has kicked inside when needed, showcasing multiple ways how he can be implemented at the next level.
Axel Idol – LB – Karns HS
Well-built frame with athletic musculature and adequate length for a stacked backer. Good downhill burst, an easy trigger in his run-pass read. Sheds blocks with tremendous hand usage, reminiscent of a pass rusher. A clean hitter that forces fumbles with hit velocity.
