We are expecting to see the prospects in this article have a very big season. These are the guys who have already been great for their team. Let’s check it out.
Omar Brand Omar Brand 6'0" | 150 lbs | WR Calhoun City | 2026 State MS , Calhoun City, WR
Brand is one of the most talented players in this class. He is a guy that has been working very hard on improving his route running. I have been a fan of him since before last season. Brand is going back to Calhoun City this season. He is going to have a lot of chances to make some big plays with this team.
Tre Ellis Tre Ellis 6'2" | 230 lbs | LB Hazelhurst | 2026 State MS , Hazlehurst
We are expecting Ellis to come out very strong this season. His coach told us that he will be playing a lot of running back this season. We are very excited to see that. Ellis is going to have a lot of opportunities to make big plays. He is a guy that has some very good size. I expect him to have over 1500 yards.
Jack Durr Jack Durr 6'1" | 185 lbs | QB Pearl | 2026 State MS , Pearl
We expect Durr to be the man for his squad this season. Durr is a very polished quarterback that has a strong arm. He also is an accurate quarterback. Durr has a quick release that gets the football to his target on time. Durr got a lot of playing time last year as a freshman.
Preston Ashley Preston Ashley 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB Brandon | 2026 State MS , DB, Brandon
Ashley is a cornerback that does a great job. He has a very good background. His dad and two of his uncles played pro ball. Ashley is very skilled. He saw a little playing time last season with their varsity. Ashley also has good speed. A lot of people don’t realize how fast he is. Expect him to make a lot of big plays this year.
