Jermaine McCree Jermaine McCree 5’11” | 160 lbs | DB Williamson | 2026 State AL has been extremely impressive at defensive back for Williamson throughout his first two years as a starter, and last fall, he showed some of his best work yet. McCree is a dominant coverage corner and can lock down everyone he lines up against- he frequently makes plays on the ball by baiting the quarterback and jarring the ball loose/picking it off. In addition to that, McCree can make a lot of plays against the run as well- he’s a physical player that doesn’t allow the ball carrier to get by him. Over the course of his sophomore season McCree had a great year, totaling up 42 tackles(25 solo), one forced fumble, 2 interceptions and 18 pass breakups. McCree has been getting a lot of attention from tons of top programs like Florida State, Marshall, Liberty, Texas A@M and more! Keep an eye on him, he’s an elite player as an underclassmen and will only get better.
Colben Landrew Colben Landrew 6’3″ | 170 lbs | WR Thompson | 2026 State AL is a super talented athlete for Thompson in both basketball and football, but has carved out a really nice role as a dominant wide receiver in their offense over the last year. Landrew is a big physical target that can highpoint the ball, make some incredibly tough catches, and outmatches every defensive back he faces with how athletic he is. Last fall, Landrew made a ton of plays for them, especially as a deep threat. He ended the season with 28 receptions for 562 yards and 13 touchdowns- it didn’t matter what defenses did, if their quarterback tossed it up for him he was going to come down with it. As mentioned earlier, Landrew is really talented in multiple sports and has been highly recruited in both basketball and football. Currently, he lists football offers from Ole Miss, Louisville and more!
Dylan Cope Dylan Cope 6’3″ | 180 lbs | WR Hewitt Trussville | 2026 State AL is another really talented wide receiver in the states 2026 class out of Hewitt Trussville. Last fall, he continued to build off the success of his freshman year and had a big season that really showed how much of a wide skillset he has. Cope is really athletic with some great speed and size, can run precise routes, has consistently reliable hands, and can make an impact at every level of the field. Over the course of his sophomore year, Cope ended up hauling in 41 receptions for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns. Cope has already impressed a lot of schools at the next level and recently picked up offers from Austin Peay, UAB, Marshall, Tulane, and more. Keep an eye on him as he continues to dominate next season, he’s one of the top pass catchers in the state and will continue to progress more and more!
Delvecchio Alston II has been really reliable out of the backfield for Hewitt Trussville’s offense the last two seasons where he’s provided a ton of production. Alston has a great burst of acceleration and speed, and when you pair that with how he patiently maneuvers around the field it makes him a consistent threat. Alston had a big season last fall where he ended up totaling 43 carries for 347 yards and 3 touchdowns. It was impressive seeing what he was capable of doing off of limited carries, next season when he has a more prominent role in their offense he’s definitely going to take over.
