Shane McNatt Shane McNatt 6'4" | 305 lbs | OL Hazel Green | 2024 AL , OL, Hazel Green, 2024
McNatt plays the game like he hasn’t eaten breakfast in weeks. Every play he is out there getting pancakes. McNatt has a lot of size with great football intelligence. He does not give up his hands and arms too quickly. McNatt is very strong. When he locks on to defenders, it is hard for them to get away.
J’Vion McDuffie, OL, McAdory, 2024
McDuffy is another lineman that has a nice IQ. He is a very poised player in the trenches. McDuffy gets grimy when he needs to, but he seems more like a finesse player. Nonetheless, he gets the job done. He plays tackle, but I think he is going to be a guard on the next level. He is only 6-foot-2. Guard is going to be a great fit for him.
Grayshaun Swain Grayshaun Swain 6'3" | 220 lbs | DL Anniston | 2025 State AL , DE, Mae Jemison, 2025
Swain had a very good sophomore campaign. He is already a two year starter. Swain is dangerous coming from the edge. He has good speed and he is aggressive. Swain does not get beat very often in one on one situation. He brings quarterbacks to the ground. There is no escaping the pocket when he is on the chase. He knows how to squeeze when he notices a running play going away from him. Swain is going to see his stock rise this season.
Brandon White, DE, Bob Jones, 2024
White is a very long defense end that has a wide wingspan. He has a very nice dip that he uses when he turns on the speed rush. White is also very active in their rush defense. He is hardly ever caught out of position. White does not let quarterbacks have a lot of time to throw the football. He can be effective from a two or three-point stance. He is also very quick with his hands. White gets very active in the trenches.
