Future Stars Game – AL Pops Class of 2027 Headliners – Finale

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Some of the very best athletes from North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia took the field for the annual Future Stars Game event last month. It's been a crazy ride looking at the athletes in the class of 2028 and 2029 that stood out during the event, but we're finally at the main event with the class of 2027. These athletes will be off to high school in a few short weeks and this class put an emphatic exclamation point on their pre-high school football career's at this game. Complete with verbal scholarship offers, several one-score games and the emergence of some guys that will absolutely be playing on Saturday's in four years–once again the Future Stars Game has solidified itself as a can't-miss event every June.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/future-stars-game-al-pops-class-of-2027-headliners-part-1/">Class of 2027 Headliners Part 1</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/future-stars-game-al-pops-class-of-2027-headliners-part-2/">Class of 2027 Headliners Part 2</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/07/future-stars-game-al-pops-class-of-2027-headliners-part-3/">Class of 2027 Headliners Part 3</a></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["637592"],"_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":"Dillon is a prospect who exploded onto the scene as an eighth-grader this past year and bulldozed his way into the upper echelon of offensive line prospects across the country. The 2027 prospect was dependable and solid from the opening practice for the Georgia Future Stars. He played primarily right tackle and did a great job of pushing guys around the entire week. Watching him play, I don't think a move inside to guard is out of the question at this point. But, time will tell. He's a good one and only going to get better.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["894013"],"_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":"Miller, a native of Horseheads, New York (an hour from Binghamton) made the trip south to suit up for the North Carolina Future Stars and the kid did not disappoint. I ran into him and his mother in the hotel the day before check-in and I immediately liked the looks of him as an athlete. Comes with a good build on him at 5-foot-11 and 190 pounds. During the first practice he was working out at the running back position and was by far the biggest back, but also one of the most agile. That said, his best contribution came on the defensive line where he used those quick feet and power to have a big week, with a ton of tackles. His older sister played volleyball at Syracuse and that same athleticism rings true here.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["416590"],"_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":"Physically, Parker was the most impressive class of 2027 running back on the Georgia Future Stars eighth-grade team. He looked like a created player out there with muscle on top of muscle, speed, power and the midnight-black dark visor. At this point he is the most complete and varsity-ready back I've seen play in this 2027 class in the state. I'm not the only one who think he's beyond his years, as Parker already has offers from UAB, Arkansas and Cincinnati. This off-season, he has also camped/visited Georgia and Aubuoo.

Wright looked to have tacked on an inch or two, with obvious muscle growth too, now standing in the 6-foot, 170-pound range. Wright proved to be a difference-maker for the Florida Future Stars team throughout the event, eventually being named Offensive MVP in Florida's 10-7 win over Georgia.

I've been watching Lindsay play closely for the last two-three years and he's a consistent plus. At 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, he's an exceptionally strong back for this level who is one big muscle from the neck down. Brings a great mix of speed and power to the position. Most importantly has a nose for the end zone inside the red zone. His most memorable series came in the consolation game against North Carolina, where he got the ball on three of five plays inside the red zone and punched it in.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["865475"],"_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":"While [player_tooltip player_id='865433' first='Janarro' last='Sumpter Jr.'] was the workhorse back for the Florida Future Stars eighth-grade team and [player_tooltip player_id='893612' first='Tranard' last='Roberts'] was the clear offensive star, Gage did a lot of the little things to help Florida win both its games last month. Gage is a stout, bowling ball type of back at 5-foot-8 and 190 pounds. Was really impressed with his ability and willingness to block when he wasn't carrying the rock. Whether it was meeting a linebacker in the hole or keeping the chains moving with three-yard gains up the gut, Gage did his part to solidify the class of 2027 Florida Future Stars undefeated record over the last three years.

The 5-foot-11, 170-pounder played both strong and free safety for the Georgia Future Stars, and made plays all week long. In the first game against South Carolina, Satterwhite hauled in a crucial interception and also had six tackles against a team with a ton of weapons. In the championship game Florida, Satterwhite also did what he could to keep a team with as many as four, or five skill players that have FBS projections from me, at bay. Speed, power, ball skills and versatility are going to make him a coveted recruit in the coming years.","_player_evaluations_6_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_7_player":["378974"],"_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":"For the second consecutive year at the Future Stars Game, Montgomery stood out even amongst other very talented players. Last year I enjoyed watching him on the offensive side of the ball as a bigger wide receiver/tight end, but this year it was his play as an outside linebacker that did it for me. I had him listed as an ATH previously, but watching him last month solidified the fact that I think he has a future as a 'backer. His ability to feel, read and react was really impressive. At 5-foot-11 and 180 pounds he used his size and speed to help set the edge and make plays in the backfield. Also an incredible leader, he has all the tools to become an FBS player if he continues on this trajectory.","_player_evaluations_7_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_8_player":["378394"],"_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":"Lee County is getting a big play wide receiver in [player_tooltip player_id='378394' first='Jaden' last='Upshaw']. Up to a 6-foot-1 and 175-pounds, he's a bigger, more physical wide receiver that I'm super high on. His production didn't jump off the page from this year's Future Stars Game event, but after watching him play the last two years at this eventu002du002dI wouldn't lose a second of sleep over it. Very capable of winning contested passes against smaller cornerback's because he simply out-muscles them to come down with it. Was clocked at 5.0 in the forty during tryouts, so there is room to improve his straight line speed. If he can get down into the verified 4.5-4.7 range, he looks like a no-brainer P5 prospect.","_player_evaluations_8_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_9_player":["379022"],"_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":"For the second consecutive year, Waldrop was a treat to watch in the Future Stars Game for Team South Carolina. The Palmetto State had a plethora of athletes that were capable running backs and Waldrop was certainly one of them. At 5-foot-6 and 155 pounds he was electric with the ball in his hands. While Savion Lindsay brought the balanced attack, Waldrop proved to be the speedy, scat back type. He's hand-timed at 4.6 in the forty and it shows on the field, specifically in his 40+ yard touchdown run against North Carolina. He just needs a small crease and his speed and agility gets him the rest of the way. His height and overall size will likely be the question from college coaches as he gets into the recruiting phase, but the tape doesn't lieu002du002dhe's a ball player.

His speed was undeniable, as he used it to buhe opposition time and time again during the week. For example, in their victor over South Carolina, Christie torched the SC defense for a long touchdown reception. He went to the well again for an 80-yard kickoff return later in the game. During the spring he ran an 11.4 in the 100M and that speed was fully on display throughout the week for Georgia. He's a kid who wasn't on my radar, but certainly sprinted his way onto it last month.","_player_evaluations_10_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_11_player":["379018"],"_player_evaluations_11_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_11_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_11_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_11_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_11_evaluation":"Another South Carolina Future Stars prospect I first saw a year ago at the event, Burg is a hard-hitting linebacker that did a good job. He's a really strong kid and in the neighborhood of 5-foot-9/5-foot-10 and 170 pounds. In addition to football, Burg is also an accomplished wrestler. Wrestling and the play of the linebacker position compliment themselves nicely. He also took reps at running back, like he did last year, but over the last 365 days he has came into his own as a 'backer. In a losing effort against Georgia, had a snot bubble-causing hit on running back [player_tooltip player_id='378415' first='Darius' last='White']. White is typically the one causing the snot bubbles 9.9 times out-of-10.

In a backfield full of future P5 football players on the Georgia Future Stars team, he continued to stick out. Already holding an offer from Arkansas ahead of the event, he picked up an offer from UAB during the Future Stars week. On top of what he does as a ball carrier, I watched him give the same effort as a blocker in passing situations, easily picking up anyone who got through.","_player_evaluations_12_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_13_player":["900504"],"_player_evaluations_13_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_13_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_13_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_13_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_13_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_13_evaluation":"The way Jerry got down hill and attacked from the third level was nothing short of phenomenal to watch. In practice, whether he was playing safety or on the corner, he had very disciplined eyes and got downhill exceptionally fast. Looking at his social media after the Future Stars Game week, he was clocked at running 20.5 mph by his high school during a recent practice. At 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, he's almost like an extra linebacker on the field with the way he tracks and attacksu002du002djust with excellent speed.

At a hair under 6-foot and anywhere from 225 to 245 pounds (depending on where you look) he's fast enough to play defensive end in a 4-3 front, yet also physical enough to play nose in a 3-4. In the Future Stars Game roster selection, they called Robertson a dogu002du002dand that is absolutely true. He can flip a switch and straight up get after the offense and make life miserable for them.

In fact, I'm not sure football is even where he staysu002du002dgiven his basketball ability, too. In either situation he'll need to grow more to become a major player. On the gridiron he's somewhere between middle linebacker, outside linebacker, tight end and hand-in-the-dirt defensive end.

Defensively, which is where I like him, he is lightning quick off the ball and can play anywhere along the front.

Brock drilled a pair of field goals, one of which was a 32-yarder, and five extra points in the 41-11 victory. He also had a successful point after attempt in Georgia's 10-7 loss to Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900438' first='Isaac' last='Fanelli']</strong> | Wide Receiver | Florida - One of the first kids I noticed during the Florida Future Stars practice. Maybe it was bright orange jersey, or maybe it was the incredibly long arms he has. Literally can scratch his knee standing up straight. Doesn't wow with speed quite yet, but very good hands and probably the largest catch radius on the squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='867299' first='Dereon' last='Garner']</strong> | Wide Receiver | North Carolina - Certainly on the small side, Garner is just 5-foot-7 and 125 pounds but has some ability. He stood out to me during practice with how he moved and operated out of the slot position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900054' first='Caleb' last='Ruiz']</strong> | Offensive Line | Georgia - Like [player_tooltip player_id='899999' first='Jaiden' last='Jackson'] and several others, Ruiz was a late add to the North Carolina Future Stars team by way of Georgia. At 6-foot and 260 pounds he's an interior offensive lineman through and through. Think lower body and very good knee bender. Could be a nice piece at center or guard.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900579' first='Keyon'Dre' last='Wright']</strong> | Defensive Back | North Carolina - Not a prospect that jumps off the page with measurables listed at just 5-foot-8 and 130 pounds, Wright did a decent job during the week as an athlete. Whether lined up at wide receiver or defensive back, the latter is where I think he'll stay, he played fast. Was clocked at a 4.63 in the forty (hand time) during tryouts. Has a ways to go to become a legit prospect, but his effort deserves some press/</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Michael Kyles</strong> <strong>Jr.</strong> | Quarterback | Georgia - On a team with an arsenal of weapons three-to-four kids deep at each skill position, the quarterback position can somehow be taken for granted. Kyles Jr. did everything he could to ensure that wasn't the case for Georgia, as the lone true quarterback on the roster. He has grown a significant amount over the last calendar year and is up to 6-foot and 140 pounds. There is room for improvement and growth across the board for him, but he's a kid that hasn't even began to hit his stride yet. Enormous upside here.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='900786' first='Johdeem' last='Jones']</strong> | Linebacker | Florida - A tackling machine for the Florida Future Stars team. Was legitimately giving the starting offense fits during practice, because he was in the right place at the right time every time. Big kid at 5-foot-11 and nearly 200 pounds. Looking forward to watching him develop over the next four years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='378368' first='Kyson' last='Mallard']</strong> | Offensive Line | Georgia - If there's a more exact clone for former Georgia Future Stars player himself, and 2023 Kansas City Chiefs draft pick <strong>Wanya Morris</strong>, I'd love to see him. Mallard is a bit of a project, but at 6-foot-4 and 270 with long limbs--he's a future offensive tackle at a FBS program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901356' first='Elijah' last='Shell']</strong> | Wide Receiver | Florida - The Florida Future Stars were very deep at the skill positions with some freaky, freaky kids. While Shell didn't matchup physically with some of the alpha's on the outside at just 5-foot-5 and 125 pounds, but he had hands like glue. When balls did come his way, I didn't see him drop many. A lot of room to grow and mature, but has the fundamental skill of catching the ball down.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901654' first='James' last='Mobley IV']</strong> | Athlete | Georgia - Incredible athlete that puts in as much work in the weight room as anyone in the country.

Too fast and athletic to NOT have in the game with the ball in his hands in some capacity. Reigning Dewitt Award winner, given to the private school athlete of the year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More 2027's That Made National Watchlist and Earned/Already Had Profiles</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='378432' first='Noah' last='Merriweather']</strong> | Running Back | Georgia - Lightning quick with 4.5 speed, with the nickname "Blur". Already has offers from Nebraska and Arkansas State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901509' first='Malachi' last='Miller']</strong> | Wide Receiver | Florida - Good-size'd wide receiver at 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds. Big catch radius and moved pretty well in his routes</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='863048' first='Brody' last='Stephens']</strong> | Offensive Line | Georgia - Played center throughout the week. Was impressed by him early. Great size at 6-foot-2/6-foot-3 and 270 pounds. Can play multiple positions up front.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Talik McCollum</strong> | Wide Receiver | North Carolina - A bit of a jack of all trades at the wide receiver position. Made some nice catches as a slot receiver. Quick initial burst got him upfield quickly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='378417' first='Caeylin' last='Menzie']</strong> | Running Back | Georgia - One of the strongest pre-high school athletes I have ever seen. Squatting over 400 pounds for reps. Fast, explosive. Also a great linebacker, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901531' first='Malik' last='Ratliff']</strong> | Wide Receiver | South Carolina - This kid grew his stock tremendously at the event. Fast, long, big catch radius. One of the best '27 WR's in South Carolina without question.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='722540' first='Blake' last='Hilton']</strong> | Offensive Line | Georgia - Really big kid at 6-foot-2 and 340 pounds. Good run blocker. Needs to get in better shape and improve athleticism to reach full potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901755' first='Khalil' last='Johnson']</strong> | Offensive Line | Florida - I really hope this kid grows because he has all the tools to be a dominant offensive lineman. Played left tackle but only 5-foot-8. A powerhouse with quickness you'd never expect. Violent and mean, too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901550' first='Stephen' last='Love II'] </strong>| Athlete | Georgia - Inside wide receiver that can play the position well, but needs to develop more. Needs to get bigger, stronger from the 5-foot-7, 130 pounds he is now.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='895953' first='Jake' last='Tell']</strong> | Defensive Line | Florida - Watched him at practice and he did well, but really turned it on come game time. Has the potential to be a next level player as a defensive end if he can continue to get quicker and more physical when engaged with bigger offensive tackle's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='828900' first='Keiland' last='Miley']</strong> | Athlete | Georgia - Caught my eye early during the week of practice. Intriguing size and movement at 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds. High level of athleticism. Impressive vertical</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901768' first='Ayden' last='Lewis']</strong> | Defensive Line | Florida - When Lewis wants to go, he can make life miserable for opposing interior offensive linemen. Would flash for a play or two, then not. Needs to get more consistent with effort. At 5-foot-11 and 250 pounds, he's a tough assignment as a defensive tackle.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='580349' first='Denim' last='Welch']</strong> | Defensive Line | Georgia - Didn't see him at practice, but did a good job on the interior defensive line. I like him as both a guard and defensive tackle. Time will tell where he ends up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901902' first='Raquan' last='Lewis']</strong> &amp; <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901901' first='Rashon' last='Lewis'] </strong>| Linebacker | Florida - Identical twin brothers who both flashed at linebacker. Raquan is a bit taller at this point and looked stronger at the point of attack. Rashon looks more like a middle linebacker, but is quick enough to play inside. Check back in a year and we'll see where we're at.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901610' first='Michael' last='Jackson']</strong> | Athlete | Georgia - Played the "Star" position in Georgia's 3-3-5 defensive. Fitting position for Jackson who can hit like a linebacker but still has above average cover skills.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901903' first='Jack' last='Rickert']</strong> | Offensive Line | Florida - Played left guard but looks like he could have played tackle with his build. Much better run blocker than pass blocker at this point. If he can improve his feet in pass protection, I don't see why he wouldn't be able to experiment at tackle. Listed at 6-foot-3 and 290 on the roster, but I don't think he's <em>that</em> big yet.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='708613' first='Trevon' last='Williams']</strong> | Athlete | Georgia - Extremely active but undersized outside linebacker at 5-foot-6 and 165 pounds. Could see a move to strong safety or even nickel safety if situation dictates</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901643' first='Ja'Mare' last='Tolliver']</strong> | Linebacker | Georgia - Short, compact, throwback middle linebacker at 5-foot-7 and 185 pounds. Thick kid who does best when it's one-on-one in the hole. Two-time Future Stars Game selections</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='899999' first='Jaiden' last='Jackson']</strong> | Offensive Line | Georgia - Played on the North Carolina Future Stars team as a late addition. Comes with average-ish size at 5-foot-10 and 210 pounds but did a nice job of competing in the trenches on both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='901727' first='Ja'Micquel' last='Solomon']</strong> | Defensive Line | Georgia - Built like a fire hydrant. Short, compact and strong kid. Squats over 300 and benches over 225 for reps. Pretty good quickness for an interior defensive linemen as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
