Continue ReadingThe offseason is fully underway after a great 2023 season and there is plenty to look forward to in 2024. The class of 2026 is filled with talent and a lot of players will really get to showcase their talent in the upcoming season. After watching the film, here are 4 players that are ready to breakout.
Oliver Bender Oliver Bender 6’4″ | 180 lbs | WR Nolensville | 2026 TN is a good-sized receiver for Nolensville High School that excels on the outside on a vertical plane. Good toughness and play strength to fight through contact in the route stem and with the ball in his hands. Bender shows great ability at the catch point to win in contested situations and is fearless to work the middle of the field. The future is very bright after a quality season for Bender.
Highlights
Garrett Cyphers Garrett Cyphers 6’1″ | 165 lbs | WR Brentwood Academy | 2026 TN played mostly out of the slot last season for Brentwood Academy High School. He shows good hands and is a reliable option for the quarterback. Overall, he shows good downfield tracking and ball skills to make tough catches. Good balance and body control, Cyphers is a quality athlete. Good physical toughness, he displays good effort when blocking.
Highlights
Crews Kelley is an instinctive and athletic wide receiver out of Ravenwood High School. He shows a very good feel for finding space vs zone coverage. Overall, his recognition stands out on the film immediately. Kelley is good with the ball in his hands showing excellent elusiveness and feel for making guys miss in space and tight situations. I expect to see a big breakout in 2024.
Highlights
Bryson Maddox Bryson Maddox 6’3″ | 175 lbs | WR Clinton | 2026 TN already had a very good Sophomore season, and I am expecting an even bigger breakout in 2024. He showed to be a big time play maker for Clinton High School. Very good speed, Maddox excelled on a vertical plane with good, contested catch ability. Great tracking down the field and he creates separation by stacking defensive backs. Maddox is solid with the ball in his hands showing nice fluidity and explosiveness.
