Jeremiah Wingfield
’25 Athens Academy
5’11 200 RB/LB
Wingfield finished 1st in the shot put with a a throw of 42’0 and finished 3rd in the discus with a throw of 99’02 in a recent quad team meet at Athens Academy.
Tall physical presence in the backfield for the Spartans. Good North South runner that doesn’t mind lowering the shoulder and running through defenders. Does a good job at changing direction in traffic and has the speed to get positive yards when he finds a crease. Good hands. He rushed for a little over 1000 yards last season as a Junior and added 4.5 TT per game at the LB spot.
He has gotten a lot of attention this off season from college recruiters. Just recently received an offer from Navy and UTC and Georgia Southern have shown interest as of late. Good student on and off the field.

2026 Athens Academy
5’10 275 LG/NG
Recently finished 1st in the discus with a throw of 113’11 and placed 3rd in the shot put with a toss of 40’09.
Honorable mention All Region last Fall. Moves well for his size and is quick enough to get out and block when he pulls from his LG position. Dominates smaller opponents and blocks with a nastiness that usually results in the defender winding up on their back. Has the athleticism to block bigger defensive lineman and get downfield to block at the 2nd level.
Interesting prospect to watch over the next two season. Solid football player.
