Justin Hasenhuetl Justin Hasenhuetl 6'5" | 300 lbs | OL Rabun Gap | 2025 State GA – 2025 – OL – Rabun Gap
Hasenhuetl is a truly unique prospect that offers elite athleticism and incredible upside. He already fits the mold of a big-time OT prospect with his length at 6’5 275 and his quick pass set. However, he can make an impact in numerous ways. In fact, he is used in the passing game as a receiver and moves down the field exceptionally well for a bigger guy. He can fly to the second level and lay some devasting blows on defenders as he chugs down the field. As he becomes more refined and polished, he has the quickness and length to be an elite offensive tackle at the next level. Hasenhuetl picked up two big offers recently from Auburn and Minnesota, I would imagine there will be a lot more that follow.
David Postell David Postell 6'1" | 270 lbs | OL East Coweta | 2025 State GA – 2025 – ATH – Rome
Super physical prospect that shines on both sides of the football. On offense, he is used primarily at RBs and is a hard runner that will scratch and crawl for any extra yard he can get. Once he hits the hole, he has some impressive burst and can get downfield in a hurry. Defensively, he really shines as a safety, where I believe he will project at the next level. He can transition from his backpedal and shuffle very well and comes downfield in a hurry. At contact, he packs a strong punch that can set the tone and jar the football loose. Harmon also has excellent ball skills, timing his jump perfectly and playing through the receiver’s hands. Whether he ends up on offense or defense, you can bet that Harmon will play a physical and exciting brand of football.
Mark Manfred – ATH – 2025 – Sprayberry
Manfred is a new prospect on the trail, but you will know his name sooner rather than later. During this spring, Manfred has seen his stock explode and has added numerous D1 offers to his name. The upside and tools are too much for most colleges to pass up on. He is a speedy, fluid skill player with an appealing 6’3 175 pound frame. He might not be super built in terms of his mass, but he is extremely efficient in man coverage. He can turn and run with anyone, find the ball, and use his long arms to poke the ball away from the receiver. Offensively, his speed translates as he is able to get behind the safeties quickly and present himself as a major deep threat. In my opinion, I think Manfred has P5 CB upside as he will only continue to add to his impressive length.
Jamauri Brice Jamauri Brice 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR Cartersville | 2025 State GA – WR – 2025 – Cartersville
This spring, Brice has emerged as one of the breakout WRs in Georgia. He is a very fluid athlete that flashes some impressive explosiveness and the ability to make plays in all three levels of the defense. He has outstanding footwork and runs crisp routes. When you pair that with his explosiveness, he can create separation with ease. While shorter in height, he has impressive ball skills and is more than capable of making contested catches. He shows some outstanding focus, seeing the ball into his hands while chugging downfield. After the catch, he can skate around the grass and has good enough vision to dissect running lanes in the secondary. Brice is a bonafide P5 WR prospect that will only see his stock continue to rise.
