On December 3, 2023, the first annual Metro Middle School All-Star combine unfolded. This amazing event was put together by Combine director Fredrick Stewart of We Play at the newly renovated Hughes Field in Jackson, Ms. The event was able to attract the attention of many elite prospects from 16 different middle schools across 4 counties in the area. The Metro Middle School’s All-Star Combine served as a platform for these budding football stars to shine brightly and grab the attention of scouts, coaches, and football enthusiasts alike.
Geraci Carson Geraci Carson 6'6" | 300 lbs | OL MS | Lanier Middle School | OL/DL
Carson is 6’4″ tall and 275lbs. At only 14 years old, Geraci LOOKS THE PART, as if he were about to graduate with the class of 2024. His broad jump showed us just how explosive he can be: He led all linemen and all but two skill guys with an 8’6 ” jump. Geraci should see offers VERY SOON.
Moses Brown | Blackburn Middle School | OL/DL
Brown is 6’0″ tall and 255 lbs- Moses is a big lineman who was relied upon by Coach Goss and his Blackburn Panther teammates to create holes for their backfield. Moses will be a player who will be called upon to contribute early for his high school team on offense and defense. He tested well, and he performed well in 1v1s.
Marshall Smith | Northwest Middle School | OL/DL
Smith is 6’0″ tall and 263lbs- Marshall is a big, aggressive lineman who LOVES CONTACT. You can tell that Smith has been training because his footwork is very consistent for an 8th grader. Smith should be a contributor on both sides of the ball for his High School next year.
Amos Varnado Amos Varnado 5'11" | 275 lbs | DL Canton | 2028 MS | Porter Middle School | OL/DL
Varnado is 5’8″ tall and 273lbs- Before he got to the combine his name stood out. They call him Tank Dawg, and when you see him in 1v1s, you know why BOTH NAMES are warranted. He is a TANK, and he is a DAWG! He may be one of the best defensive line prospects to come through. He even started a playoff game for the Canton High Tigers this year. He is big and Aggressive. He also uses his hands very well for an 8th grader.
Demarion Smith | SV Marshall Middle School | OL/DL
Smith is 6’1″ tall and 250lbs- Smith is another lineman who showed that he will be something special in the years to come. Holmes County seems to be breeding linemen these days, and Smith will be another. He has quick feet and the ability to bring the contact to you. Smith will be something to watch in the next few years
