<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 class is getting ready to start being evaluated a lot more. Now is the time to separate their boys from men. Their class is going to be an electric one to follow. It is a lot of studs that is going to represent this class for Mississippi. Can't wait to follow their journey.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691285' first='Grant' last='Kitchens'], Nanih Waiya, OL</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kitchens is going to be an absolute monster the more he develops. I think that Kitchens can possibly become a defensive lineman. He has the strength to be a power five offensive lineman. Kitchens does a great job of being patient on offense. When he plays defense he needs to learn to be more of a fighter with his hands. Kitchens has a big frame and he is only getting bigger. He is a 6-foot-6, 300-pound guy at this point. He is a young man that is going to be highly recruited. He is a definitely a four-star caliber player. Keep your eyes on this young man.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Donel Robinson, Holmes County Central, OL</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Robinson is another big time offensive lineman coming out of this class. He is a 6-foot-5, 275-pound prospect who has a lot of upside. Robinson does a great job of being patient with his hands. He can play defensive line as well so it isn't hard for him to adjust to blocking defenders. Robinson is a polished offensive lineman who will only continue to develop. Robinson has some big hands that lock on to defenders. He is definitely going to be a power five prospect. He is being recruited as an offensive lineman.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691273' first='Gavin' last='Howard'], ATH, Holmes County Central</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Howard is going to be a big time name in this class. He is a very exclusive player on their offense. Howard has a lot of athleticism. He is also very elusive with his moves. He isn't a guy that is going to do a lot of juke moves. He is a one cut guy that knows how to make people miss. You won't see a lot of defenders be able to bring him down on the first time. Howard is going to be the player that is able to break open a lot of big time plays for the Jaguars.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402092' first='Jase' last='Matthews'], WR, Greene County</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Matthews is a stud that we are going to hear more from next season. Matthews is a lanky guy who also excels in the gym. Those are the kind of receivers I love to see. Matthews is going to be a division one football player. He is able to make very acrobatic catches. Matthews is going to be a versatile receiver. He is a guy you can go to on third down. He is also a receiver that you can use to break open your offense. Matthews has good speed. He can make some nice moves in the open field. He is the kind of receiver that coaches love to have on their team. He is going to be a big time playmaker next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The 2026 class is getting ready to start being evaluated a lot more. Now is the time to separate their boys from men. Their class is going to be an electric one to follow. It is a lot of studs that is going to represent this class for Mississippi. Can't wait to follow their journey.
