Class of 2029 Future Stars Game Top Performers – Part 1

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Every year the Future Stars Game provides an opportunity for athletes wrapping up their sixth, seventh and eighth-grade school years to perform against some of the best. Athletes from North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia took part in a week of practice, life skills and two games. The class of 2029 seems far away, but this group will be seventh graders come the fall and with recruiting speeding up, college attention will begin for some of them in the next six-to-nine months. Here's a look at Part 1 of the Top Performers in the 2029 Class. Part 2 to follow in the coming days.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["865857"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The most natural quarterback on either Carolina team (North or South) for the sixth-grade level. The class of 2029 prospect had a really nice week of practice and two pretty good games. Showed a lot of grit and moxy standing in the pocket, despite some big hits.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["865621"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Norwood played his butt off for the Florida Future Stars sixth-grade team and legitimately left it all on the field. Looked the part of a future big-time playmaker as a dual-threat signal caller. Whether on designed keepers or broken plays, he picked up big chunks of yards outside the hash marks.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["865906"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Ford has the build to become something pretty special if he continues to develop. On the roster as a running back, but looks like he could eventually progress to play any of the skill positions with his long strides. He was the first 2029 prospect from North Carolina I noticed during practice and made things happen all week long.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["865936"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"Easily the top defensive linemen on the North Carolina Future Stars sixth-grade team, and possibly the top interior defensive linemen out of any state, Jackson left a lasting impression. Nicknamed u0022Hulku0022 he's built like a cinder block and is also a boxer, which has obviously helped his quick and strong hands.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["865974"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The South Carolina sixth grade team had a difficult weekend of football but running back/linebacker Jemo Stinson was a bright spot for the squad. Despite the losses, Jemo Stinson ran exceptionally hard and was a load to bring down between the tackles. There were no official state kept, but he was a workhorse on both sides of the ball.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":[2075139],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Ahead of the sixth-grade Future Stars Game between Florida and Georgia, I told a few folks that White was my early prediction to bring home some type of MVP award. While that didn't happen, White got my attention all week long. Physically looks like he should be headed into high school. Good length and strength allowed him to make a ton of plays along the defensive front. Also lined up at running back to keep the chains moving and punch in two-point conversions.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_6_player":["865618"],"_player_evaluations_6_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_6_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_6_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"In my opinion, the most talented running back on the Florida sixth-grade Future Stars team. If you went to create the ideal 2029 running back in Madden, he'd likely look like Anderson. Really good straight-line speed and laterally quickness. Showed off some nice vision too. Had some big runs called back due to penalties but he looks like he'll be a good one.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["865620"],"_player_evaluations_7_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_7_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_7_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"Another Florida Future Star that really impressed me throughout the week. When people talk about active linebackers, Lee III is the type of player they're describing. A legitimate sideline-to-sideline player with excellent downhill and lateral speed. Also did a nice job dropping into pass coverage in situations. Consistently arrived with bad intentions at the point of contact.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["866483"],"_player_evaluations_8_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_8_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_8_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"Graves has future FBS prospect written all over him already. Every bit of 6-foot-1 and 170-pounds, he was a force all week at practice and in the games, on both sides of the ball. In the Georgia Future Stars 10-0 victory over Florida in the championship game, he earned overall MVP honors for his contributions as a Tight End and a Defensive End. Ran into him at the airport after the game and couldn't have been a more mature kid if he tried. Complete package as a young man. Buy stock now.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["866501"],"_player_evaluations_9_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_9_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_9_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"Despite not scoring a touchdown in the Georgia Future Stars championship game victory over Florida, Garrison was named the offensive MVP. He was a workhorse back who methodically mixed tough runs up the middle for short gains, with longer runs to the outside. Did however score a touchdown in Georgia's first victory over South Carolina. Ran hard all week long and earned the MVP award with consistency.","_player_evaluations_9_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":10,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-648e31eba96e6"} /-->
