Some of these guys are playing out of position right now to help their high school teams. I think that this class has some studs all over the board that have been overlooked. Let’s take a look.
Damian Goss
Goss is a 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back out of Provine. He is an aggressive guy that also can line up and cover. This is a player that can be very versatile in the secondary. He has the toughness to come up and make big hits. He has the grit that you need a safety to have when holding a tight end. Goss also has the ability to drop down in the slot and hold a smaller receiver. This young man is a player that college coaches want to know.
Anthony Rogers Anthony Rogers 5'11" | 175 lbs | DB Laurel | 2024 State MS
Rogers is one of the most slept on cornerbacks in the state. He is a player that does a great job of covering his side of the field. Rogers is a guy that also does not mind making tackles. He is a gritty player that plays with a lot of confidence. Laurel will host Provine in the first round of the 5A playoffs tonight.
Carter is an absolute dog that loves to come up and hit. Carter is in the second round of the 5A playoffs. He is a bad boy that also has improved his covering skills. I think that he is a guy that may take the JUCO route first to develop some more. He needs to hit the weightroom hard and get a lil faster. I truly feel like he is a division one prospect. He loves to come up and hit.
Rashayd McGruder Rashayd McGruder 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Laurel | 2024 State MS
McGruder lines up on the opposite side of Rogers for Laurel. McGruder is one of the most polished cornerbacks in the state. He also plays with a lot of confidence. He is a player that knows how to use his body to his advantage. McGruder also has some decent speed. His team has advanced to the second round of the playoffs.
