Austin Guest Austin Guest 5'11" | 185 lbs | QB Creekview | 2025 State GA (Creekview)
The 5’11 185 QB and returning Region OPOY is back for his Senior season with the Grizzles. Guest accounted for 2731 total yards in ’23 with 29 total TDs. Got it done with his arm, passing for 1723 yards, and his legs where he rushed for a little over 1000 yards. One of best running QBs in the North Ga area with great vision and athleticism. Potential next level QB but has the ability to play multiple positions in college.
Tanner Savasir Tanner Savasir 6'0" | 190 lbs | QB Cherokee | 2025 GA (Cherokee)
The 6’0 185 rising Senior totaled 2257 yards last season with 17 TDs. Has good arm strength and throws his short and long passes on target. Good pocket poise and can use his feet to avoid defenders and throw strikes on the run. Multisport, athletic kid that has above average size and you can see on film he knows and loves the game. Big Senior season on tap and I think he will draw some college attention this Fall.
Kolby Martin (Sequoyah)
The 5’11 170 QB is the only rising Junior on our list. Accounted for 1851 yards last season with 21 TDs. Multisport kid that has already scored a 1300 on his SAT and has good upside at the QB position and should be a 4 year starter by the time he graduates. Plays fast and has good poise in the pocket. Has a quick release. Accurate downfield on the long throws when throwing over the top of the defense. Just now starting to fill out physically and will be one to keep an eye on the next 2 years.
Ethan Spector (River Ridge)
The 5’11 150 rising Senior accounted for 1817 total yards last season with 24 total TDs and was named 1st Team All Region. The multisport student/athlete is a standout on the diamond and gritty competitor on the football field. Don’t let the lean build fool you, Spector is not afraid to stick his nose in their for extra yards and has deceptive speed. Good game manager that is a deep ball threat. Has good zip on his short to medium passes. Big Senior season coming up!
Xavier Mahoney Xavier Mahoney 5'9" | 160 lbs | ATH Etowah | 2025 GA (Etowah)
The 5’9 160 pound ATH accounted for 1612 total yards and had 22 TDs in just 5 full games played last season. Scored at least 1 TD receiving, passing and rushing. Elite speed at a reported 4.4 that shows on game film. Good arm that zips passes in tight windows. Excellent passer on the run. Was Region MVP his Sophomore season and was 2nd Team All Region last year after missing the last 4 games. Already receiving D1 looks from Georgia Southern and Middle Tennessee St. among others. Not sure what position he will slide into at the next level but has the talent and speed to play any skill position in college. D1 talent.
