<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some guys that have made a big name for themselves. This was a great season for these prospects. They are some guys that should be on your radar. Let's check it out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691280' first='Keonnis' last='Davis']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis had a real big season. In the past two seasons, he has gained over 5400 all purpose yards. He plays quarterback for Tylertown. I think he has a great chance to make it on the next level. He will be a big time player for this program. He is definitely one to keep your eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402094' first='Jorden' last='Rush']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rush is a 2026 defensive linemen that I have been keeping my eyes on. I was able to see him before his 9th grade season at Jeffery Simmons football camp. At the time, he was working out with the linebackers. I am not sure what he is going to be on the next level. I just know that he is a guy to be kept up with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='749056' first='Jaeden' last='Hill'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hill is a running back that needs to be known. He already has offers to Tennessee and South Carolina. It won't be long before he blows up. This is a guy from Tupelo that schools are going to be in heavy pursuit of very soon. Hill is around 6-foot, 220 pounds. He is a heavy load to keep up with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='953393' first='BJ' last='Payton']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payton is a linebacker that has a long lanky frame. I think that this summer could be really good for him. He just needs to find a way to make sure that he is hitting the weightroom hard. He is about 180 pounds. I think that he is definitely a guy to know from this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='212364' first='Dereon' last='Albert'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have not talked about Albert enough. This kid is going to be one of the best in this class when it is all said and done. Albert plays the position well. He has the strength and he knows how to use his hands. Albert is going to be at least 6-foot-3 by the time he is done growing. I cannot see him being shorter than 6-foot-2. This is a guy to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Here are some guys that have made a big name for themselves. This was a great season for these prospects. They are some guys that should be on your radar. Let's check it out.
