Some of these players have a few offers and with the help of big senior seasons I can see all of them playing college football at some level.

DJ McCoy, ATH- Taylor County High c/o 25

McCoy has been a major bright spot for the Taylor County Bulldogs on both sides of the ball. He’s a true dual-threat prospect that could play on either side of the ball at the next level. On offense he’s rushed for 93 yards, leads the team in receiving with 17 receptions for 249 yards and 3 touchdowns. On defense McCoy leads the team with 67 tackles, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, and a fumble recovery.

Dalton Kolmetz, WR- Walton High c/o 24
