The Springers have a young man looking to come in and contribute and he has already in Jaedon Parker. Contributing at linebacker and defensive end defensively for Highland Springs as a sophomore, Parker’s speed is too valuable to leave off the field. A track star as well for the Springers, Parker can play at all three levels on their defense whether it be on the line, linebackers or their secondary. He has the speed that no one on offense should be able to get the edge on him and he is very physical at the point of attack. Should be interested to see how he he is maneuvered around with this year.

Aladin Simms
6’1 and 164 pounds. from Henrico defensive back Aladin Simms looks like the real deal for the Warriors fanbase. A spry/rangy corner who you will see line up at numerous spots on defense for the Warriors. Tremendous ball skills and a keen ability to deliver the big hit, Simms ascension is just beginning. Plays the game with a high motor, I would expect his name to highly sought after before his junior year begins. The qualities he has shown on film clearly show he can play at the next level.
Braylon Hood Braylon Hood 6’1″ | 195 lbs | LB Varina | 2026 State VA will be FBS level linebacker two years from now, already obtaining offers from Marshall, East Carolina and Appalachian State just to name a few. A three sport star for the Varina Blue Devils, Hood has power 5 speed and range which he showed plenty of last fall. A 3.9 student the young man plays with both passion and intelligence, you can see it on every screen he sniffs out from the other side of the field. Exceeding at basketball and baseball now currently for Varina, you best be sure come our 2026 rankings his name will be high amongst our leaders.

Highlights
Hermitage Dual threat star quarterback Benjamin Yeanay Benjamin Yeanay 5’11” | 165 lbs | QB Hermitage | 2026 State VA has continued on his ascent to one of the top overall players in the class of 2026. Ranking as one of our top quarterbacks in this class, Yeanay followed that up with a monster sophomore campaign. Throwing for 17 touchdowns and only 3 interceptions, it is not surprising he earned his first offer last month from Chowan University. Here is what I said about him when the 2026 rankings came out last year:
Yeanay is a slippery tough kid at quarterback for Hermitage, but I was very impressed with his accuracy as well. Watching him maneuver on the run reminds of Russell Wilson (the Seattle version) the way he can scramble and throw on a dime should have the Panthers excited to watch him the next three seasons.
