Class of 2024
There are a number of players and schools I cannot wait to watch this Fall and Jones with the Fairfax Lions now ranks up at the top. Just this past weekend Jones was visiting the Florida Gators who are heavily projected to land his services, but as I said before do not count out Georgia and Kirby Smart just yet. Again Florida according to most sites is heavily projected to land one of the top recruits in all of the state, but something tells me Kirby Smart wants to rebuild his championship defense and he will go all out to nab Jones. Moving past that it is quite impressive to see how Fairfax has come from being bottom feeders in the Patriot conference just a few years ago. Between their state semifinal appearance to having linebackers (Tony Rojas being the other) in back to back years going to major institutions is quite the turnaround.
Highlights
Have yet to really discuss this dude and his absurd talent but we will now. The Green Run Wide Receiver is a game changer and has offers from schools across the country. The senior to be has a top five consisting off Ohio State, Alabama, Virginia Tech, South Carolina and Pittsburgh and is expected to make his choice July 13. Depending on who you talk but from what I hear and understand is that South Carolina, Pittsburgh and late arrival Ohio State have all been tabbed as his favorite. July 13 Adams will make one fan base very happy, come next fall expect him to be on the field contributing.

Class of 2025
Yes I wrote about him on Sunday but I am doing it again because the kid deserves more recognition. Watch his tape below on what he did with Falls Church last fall and tell me he doesn’t have huge upside, news flash you cant! Throwing for 30 touchdowns in 2022, West is typically the biggest guy on the field standing at 6’7. You may think he doesnt have wheels but that is far from the case, watching him this past weekend I know the kid can move in the pocket. He also has run a 4.6 40 and has reclassified to 2025, no reason not to believe him and Flint Hill cant make big things happen this fall.

Class of 2026
As I said earlier expect this class rankings for 2026 to drop any day, I wanted to update you on a couple of studs below:
Expect to see Whitver carving up defenses all over the state this Fall. We talked about him previously but as a freshman all he did was account for 7 touchdowns and nearly 700 yards receiving, pretty darn impressive if you ask me (or anyone for that matter). This young man is catching our attention and has been working on his craft all off-season, cant wait to see him ball out this fall!
