An emerging pass-catcher with outstanding ball skills, Williams doesn't look like your typical freshman. He's fast, explosive, and a big-time vertical weapon down the field. He has dependable hands, plays the ball well in the air, and shows big-play ability whenever he has the ball. He's young, but he has the potential to turn into one of the top receivers across the state in the 2026 class. He can create separation and get open on his own, something you rarely see for someone his age. Williams received his first D1 offer recently, and it was a big one from the South Carolina Gamecocks. With an early SEC offer in hand, look for more programs to reach out with an offer sooner than later. He has a a high ceiling and will only get better over the next three years. The eRaiders aree looking to have a giant 2023 season, and Williams is someone they can rely on in the passing game. Look for his stock, and his recruitment, to continue to soar this spring and over the next few months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Xavier Griffin – EDGE – Gainesville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An exciting two-way player for an extremely talented Gainesville team, Griffin is a long, athletic prospect who certainly doesn't look like your average freshman. Standing at 6-foot-4 205-pounds, Griffin has plenty of size and knows how to mach plays on both offense and defense. He's a weapon in the passing game as he's a big target with impressive ball skills, but his ability to get after the quarterback off the edge makes him one of the top young defensive line prospects in the state. He has a long frame and he's quick off the snap, allowing him to get into the backfield on a consistent basis.. He shows a great motor and could turn into one of the state's top pass-rushers over the next season or two. As a freshman in 2022, he didn't make a ton of varsity stats, but that could all change as a sophomore in 2023. His size, motor, and natural ability to shed blocks make him an easy breakout candidate for defenders in 6A next fall. His stock is rising, and the D1 offers should continue to come in more and more throughout his career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Anthony “Ant” Davis - Grayson</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Grayson Rams are one of the state's best at producing high-level linebackers and the next one to know about is 2026 standout Anthony Davis. Everyone knows about superstar [player_tooltip player_id='212311' first='Tyler' last='Atkinson'] by now, but Davis is one folks should know about sooner than later. At 6-foot-2 190-pounds, Davis already looks like an upperclassmen and someone who should bring in D1 offers down the road. The Rams are replacing Tennessee signee Jalen Smith, and Davis has a chance to take on that role and have a breakout sophomore season in 2026. He has a long, athletic frame, and has an excellent coaching staff that is excited about his future. He's next in line to do big things at Grayson, and if he continues to work hard and develop more over the next five months, he should be in a position to have a giant 2023 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
