Trae Grogan Trae Grogan 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Lafayette Christian | 2024 State LA — 6-1, 180 WR — Lafayette Christian
The big-bodied target in a Knights’ offense marked more heavily by smaller, quicker athletes, Grogan came on particularly strong during the playoff run his junior year and carried that momentum into this fall. But he’s still available for a potential college home.

Barry Remo Barry Remo 5'10" | 180 lbs | ATH Catholic (Baton Rouge) | 2024 State LA II — 5-10, 180 RB — Catholic (Baton Rouge)

Jeremy Duncan Jeremy Duncan 6'6" | 260 lbs | OL Captain Shreve | 2024 State LA — 6-6, 260 OL — Captain Shreve
The Gators’ tackle has a chance to be a nice offensive line find late for the right program with his tall, long frame and mobility at his size.
