Anthony Hopson Anthony Hopson 6'3" | 320 lbs | DL Neshoba Central | 2025 State MS , Neshoba Central
Hopson is one of the most talented defensive linemen in the 2025 class. Hopson is a very aggressive linemen that knows how to get busy in the trenches. You won’t see many players that are able to keep him from being dominant. He is definitely a guy to know.
Christopher Macias
Macias is a shorter defensive lineman who gets very active in the trenches. There aren’t a lot of guys that can block him when he is on a roll. Macias has a very high motor. He loves to make plays in the backfield. He is an aggressive lineman that knows how to use his hands. He is a guy that we need to be sure to keep our eyes on this season.
Charles Woodard Charles Woodard 6'2" | 240 lbs | DL Starkville | 2024 MS , Starkville, 2024
Woodard is one of the most underrated defensive linemen in this class. He is a heavy load to deal with on the football field. Woodard is going to have some big shoes to fill this season. The Yellow Jackets had some very stout defensive linemen last season. Woodard was a part of that number. He is looking to be back on the scene handling business again this year.
Tayquonn McKinney, Louisville, 2025
McKinney is a guy that I think is going to be a linebacker on the next level. He is very quick on his feet. McKinney also is very aggressive when he comes off the line. He is a playing in a 5-3 defense. That is one reason that he stands up and comes from the edge every play.
