Continue ReadingI’m inspired by the underdog story. The hungry dogs that gets overlooked because of their height, weight or just don’t pass the eye test, is why I do this. I hooked up with the CEO of RecruitNE_GA, Coach D. He gave me tons of information and some insights on who are those underdogs in Georgia. Let’s dive in!
Landon Duckworth – QB – Jackson Aggies Football / @LandonDuckworth
Duckworth shows the ability to get the ball downfield, and he exhibited impressive velocity and accuracy when throwing on the move. Duckworth can spray the ball anywhere on the field, especially when given a pocket from which to deliver. He’s capable to step up into pocket while looking downfield, reset his feet and deliver.
Darnell Kelly Darnell Kelly 6'2" | 180 lbs | QB Peachtree Ridge | 2026 State GA – QB – Langston Hughes HS / @TCreatedplayer
Kelly has good zip and ball placement on the quick slant. Good touch down the seam and on post-corner, flag routes to attack the defense vertically and horizontally. Kelly also has a quick release and shows good accuracy on shorter throws when on the move to either side.
Austin Hoane Austin Hoane 6'4" | 260 lbs | OL Cookeville | 2026 State GA – LT/DT – Lakeside HS / @austin_hoane22
Hoane thrives on physicality, often out-grappling bigger defensive linemen and winning in the phone booth with tenacity and upper-body strength. He flashes power and nastiness in the run game, able to win at the point of attack and athletic enough to get out as a pulling blocker before landing blocks on the move at the second level.
Semaj Fluellyn – LB – Griffin HS / @Semaj5Fluellyn
Fluellyn combines good length and initial quickness, showing the burst to win early in the down as a pass rusher. He has violent hands and consistently breaks away and disengages from blockers. He’s instinctive, reading, reacting, and locating the ball quickly, and finishing plays as an authoritative, wrap-up tackler.
Brady Marchese Brady Marchese WR GA – WR – Cartersville HS / @BradyMarchese1
Marchese has the size, length, and strength to defeat press jams. Can make the spectacular catch. A good open-field runner with some agility and the ability to break tackles. Has long arms to stiff-arm defensive backs in the open field. Willing to lower his pads to run through tackles for extra yardage. Goes over the middle, can spin out of tackles, and take the big hit.
