The 2026 class has a little over a month of freshman status left. Over the last year, these freshmen have shined at a level we haven't seen in Georgia in years. Here, we dive into an already deep 2026 class and try to pick out some prospects destined to make some noise next season.   [player_tooltip player_id='283873' first='Katrell' last='Webb'] - ATH - Collins Hill   Webb already has made a name for himself on the recruiting trail, but 2023 will be when he really breaks onto the scene as a player. For a freshman, Webb is a freak athlete at around 6'3 250 that still has physical development ahead of him. Webb is a two-way prospect on the OL and DL. With his speed, twitchiness, and length, it is likely that he will end up playing as a true LT at the next level. However, it would not at all shock me if he grew into a bigger edge role on defense. Regardless, he is a rare athlete that still has his best football ahead of him. With a big 2023, he could really make some buzz nationally.   [player_tooltip player_id='234923' first='Nalin' last='Scott'] - WR - Kennesaw Mountain   With Kennesaw Mountain losing numerous contributors at receiver, Scott is set to step in and play a major role in 2023. In fact, there is a good chance Scott emerges as the main threat out wide for the Mustangs. Scott can make plays all over the field but will likely be a bigger threat in the downfield vertical passing game next season. He showcases really good focus when the ball is in the air and is able to hang onto the ball in tight coverage. He has good balance and coordination for a younger receiver and has the unique ability to stay upright through contact. Scott is a gritty playmaker with good hands. When the ball comes his way, there is a good chance he is coming down with it. Get ready to be impressed with him in 2023.   [player_tooltip player_id='401549' first='Nathan' last='Agyemang'] - WR - Creekview   A true high-upside player that could be a big-time playmaker for Creekview in 2023. He offers the Grizzlies a rare body type at around 6'5 200 and also happens to be a good athlete. Agyemang also excels on the basketball court and likely has a future beyond high school in either sport. For a bigger guy that is still developing as an athlete, he moves well in space. His basketball background makes him a perfect jump ball candidate. If he can turn it on next year, he will add another element to the Creekview offense. If I was part of a P5 program, Agyemang is someone I would be keeping an eye on.   [player_tooltip player_id='682997' first='Bryce' last='Green'] - RB - Buford   If you don't know who is now, you will soon. Green saw limited time as a freshman in a loaded RB room. With record-shattering RB [player_tooltip player_id='34011' first='Justice' last='Haynes'] headed to Alabama, Green will have a bigger role to play in 2023. Green has the look of a well-rounded P5 RB prospect. He has an extremely muscular build and has a low center of gravity. He runs behind his pads and packs a punch for a younger RB. He has all the tools and has been a standout when he sees the field. All that's left now is for him to start getting more reps and develop into a household name as a recruit.   [player_tooltip player_id='422536' first='Max' last='Walraven'] - QB - West Forsyth   After spending time on varsity in a backup role as a freshman, Walraven looks like a legit candidate to take the starting role for West Forsyth next season. Physically, Waldrep is one of the more impressive 2026 prospects in the state regardless of position. Walraven weighs in at 6'5 185 and has a whole lot of room to add more muscle. He has decent arm talent that will continue to get better as he grows into his frame. He really stands out with his elusiveness in the pocket and speed. He moves well for a taller QB, evading pressure nicely. In the open field, his long strides allow him to accelerate quickly and get downfield in a hurry. Walraven has a lot of upside and has the chance to make some noise in 2023.
