6’4 222 (North Paulding): Ran the fastest clocked 40 time for the 200 pound plus guys at 4.66. Passes the eye test when he steps on the field. Tall with a strong build and impressive in the agility drills putting up 4.44 in the 5-10-5 cone. Physical MLB for the Wolfpack. Good use of hands to shed blocks and make tackles verse the run game. Explodes off the line of scrimmage on the blitz. Offers from Ga Southern, E. Michigan, UTC , Tennesse Tech and at the conclusion of camp Saturday received an offer from Shorter.

6’1.5 205 (Pepperell Dragons): The 4 sport (football, wrestling, track, soccer) athlete showed good agility and change of direction at camp. An All Region selection in ’22 in Region 7-1A. Outstanding at shedding blockers and getting into the backfield. Good moving side to side across the field and delivering bone crushing tackles. Good speed when lined up on the edge to force QB on the run. Unearned his 1st offer post camp. Under The Radar LB that is making his rounds on the camp circuits this Summer.

6’0 180 (Hillgrove): Worked out as a LB on Saturday but I can see him playing SB or DB at the next level. Ran one the best 40 times in the linebacker group at 4.78 and was outstanding in the 5-10-5 putting up a Top 10 number at 4.28. Lined up at Edge a lot for Hillgrove last season. Good at using his hands to keep the bigger OL off of him and making the tackles on the inside run game. Good open field tackler that reads plays well and explodes to the receiver. Interesting prospect that has the athletic ability to play multiple positions. Definitely will keep an eye on this guy in 2023.

6’2 198 LB/RB (Dade County): Tough kid. 2x State Wrestling Champion and NHSCA runner up in 2022. Work horse that never leaves the field. Good tackler in open space that loves to deliver punishing tackles with outstanding form tackling technique . Good football instincts that can see the play developing in front of him and react quickly. Candidate for DPOY in Region 7-1A and one to put on your radar in 2023.

5’9 208 LB (Calhoun): Returning 1st Team All Region LB that recorded 150 TT with 10 TFL in 2022. Good movement and change of direction with one of the best Pro Shuttle times for the 200+ guys at 4.50. Explosive first step and has the ability to get in the backfield and disrupt running plays from the 2nd level. Keeps pad level low when making tackles with good flexibility. Smith gets it done off the field as well. He has a 4.0 gpa and would be a good addition to a high academic program looking for a guy that can play.
Jack Webb
Jack Webb
6’3 208 (Woodland-Bartow): Interesting Under the Radar prospect that is making the Camp circuit this Summer. Good size,6’3 ,with a frame that is still able to add good weight. Played multiple positions last season (DE/TE/LB/LS). Lined up mainly at DE on film but has the athletic ability to eventually play LB at the next level. Had a very impressive 4.30 on the 5-10-5 cone drill at camp. Webb is a raw talent with size and the athletic ability to play at the next level. He is outstanding student off the field with a 4.0 GPA.
