, arguably the best defensive lineman in 2027 in the state of Georgia came out and did not disappoint. Peeks checked in at 6’3” and 270 lbs. He demonstrated an amazing first step and power to finish plays alone the defensive line. His size and low center of gravity make him a nightmare matchup with any offensive lineman.
Quinterrius “Moonie” Gipson attended the camp. Gipson checked in at right under 200lbs and you could see why many consider him the top running back in Georgia. Demonstrated very good speed with a 4.9 and a 4.87 in the 40-yard dash for a 200lbs 8th grader. He showed great vision and agility and a genuine desire to compete.
Highlights
Corey Hadley Jr came out to not get outdone or overlooked, and the 5-11 receiver and defensive back did just that, to earning the Camp MVP award. His 4.85 in the 40-yard dash was the fastest on this windy day. He made plays consistently on both sides of the ball, running great routes and showing consistent hands as a receiver.
Highlights
There were several other standouts in the 8th grade (2027) group
- Stephen Love II probably made the most amazing catches on the day, and showed with his versatility that he would be a matchup nightmare in the slot.
- Wideout
Myles George

from Carrollton had an excellent camp. George was another big receiver at 5’11” and one of the fastest players at the camp. He showed ability to be elite on both sides of the ball.
- Kalen Noel was consistent on the offensive line, showing evaluators why he is one of the top offensive lineman, and had one of the most memorable performances at the camp.
- Kicker Russell Brock made 11 of 12 field goal attempts inside the 40, only missing one from 35 yards, but making all three of his attempts from 40 yards as an 8th grader.
In the 7th grade group,
Christian Williams

from Acworth came out and walked away with the camp MVP for 7th grade. At 5’10” and 270lbs, Williams showed much better short area quickness than one would think. He demonstrated amazing upper body strength and played with very violent hands on the offensive line. He has the potential to be an elite offensive lineman in the future.
Highlights

of Cedartown demonstrated versatility to play any number of positions, and play them effectively. With good height and weighing 180 lbs. he has amazing quickness and bend from the defensive end position to be an elite pass rusher. He was athletic enough to be one of the best running backs or receivers at the camp also.
Highlights
Jake Smith

State
GA
of Roswell was a 7th grader that the evaluation team really loved. He was a lunch pale type guy that gives you great route running and ability to create separation making him an excellent slot. But, Smith was also impressive on the defensive side of the ball showing that he could be as effective as an outside linebacker.
Highlights
The 2029’s Debut
Savere Moses
Savere Moses
In the 6th grade group Savere Moses walked away with the camp MVP. This smaller slot receiver made play after play on the ball and could not be guarded during the camp.
- Quarterback
Cameron Anderson

Douglas County | 2029
State
GA
was a surprise at the camp. He is a pocket passer that made good decisions and demonstrated a strong arm to make all of the throws
- Another kid the coached liked was Morrison DeLaine. He was a smaller kid that plays much bigger and more physical than his size. He is a kid that if he grows in high school he could be an elite safety heading off to college
