2025 ATH Follow Up

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have been keeping up with recruiting ever since the end of the last season. There are some guys that have been seeing their stock rise. We like to keep you updated on how everybody's recruiting process is going. Let's check it out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='648935' first='Darrell' last='Smith'], Picayune</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a guy that can play a lot of different positions. This upcoming season, he is going to play more of running back. Smith will see a lot more carries than he has seen in the past. He will also still have some plays where he has to catch the ball out of the backfield. Smith is one of the most explosive players in this class. He has a few power five offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Decorey Knight, Vicksburg</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I expect to see Knight making a lot of plays this season. He is a stud that knows how to get around on offense. He has a lot of speed. He reminds me of Dennis Thames that played at Louisville from 06-08. Knight is super talented. He can play anywhere on the field. His stock is going to rise this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Keyshawn Ben, Choctaw Central</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I expect to see Ben making a lot of noise this season. Last year was a breakout season for him. He made a big name for himself against Louisville. That's when he got on our radar. Ben was making a lot of plays on both sides of the ball last season. He was making the Wildcat offense look super easy.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1640571' first='Amari' last='Wallace']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wallace is one of the most exciting athletes in this class. A lot of players are excited to see him coming back this season. Wallace is a big time playmaker. He was lights out all summer during 7v7. A lot of players want to have the same freedom Wallace has on offense. His coaches give him an opportunity to make plays.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
