He's young, but he made a giant impact on a weekly basis for one of the most talented defenses in the country. He's quick, physical, and brings 6-foot-3 250-pound size to the table. He's thick, gives great max effort on every play, and filled up the stat sheet during the 2023 season, making 45 tackles, 9 TFLs, 6.5 sacks, and one blocked field goal. He played his best when it mattered most, and he's quickly becoming one of the top 2026 DL prospects across the country. Now, he's ranked by Prep Redzone as the No. 1 DL prospect and the No. 3 overall prospect in the state for the impressive 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1086121' first='James' last='Carrington'] - Rabun Gap</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top overall 2026 defenders in the country, the North Georgia lineman from Rabun Gap is a former Maryland native who tore it up this year on the gridiron as a sophomore. The powerful 6-foot-3 275-pounder was destructive and just about unblockable all season long this fall, making 33 tackles along with an eye-opening 22 TFLs and 15 sacks. He's a force in the middle of the defensive line, clogging running lanes against the run while attacking the quarterback with ease. He sheds blocks, can fight off double teams, and shows great pursuit of the ball-carrier. He flashed easy 5-star potential this fall, and now he's ranked in the latest update as the No. 4 overall prospect in Georgia for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Deuce Geralds - Collins Hill</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A dynamic lineman who has been one of the most productive defenders across the state the last two years, Geralds is big, physical, and has a knack for attacking the quarterback. He can win with power or finesse, and he made it look easy once again in 2023. He has all the tools to push for 5-star status and showed why just about every Friday night this past season. The 6-foot-3 260-pounder made 81 tackles, 30 TFLs, and an incredible 14 sacks. He lived in the backfield last year and showed why he's a quarterback's worst nightmare. He's an explosive defender who is lightning quick off the snap and knows how to deliver a giant hit on whoever has the ball. He's a truly elite defender with no signs of slowing down. He's already one of the very best defenders across the state regardless of classification, and he's now ranked as the No. 7 overall prospect in Georgia for his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
