Adam Auston – 2026 – C4 Sixers
We kick off this breakdown with a look at a 2026 prospect that will be traveling about 12 hours to compete this weekend. Safety Adam Auston will be playing for the Oklahoma/Texas C4 program and he’s looking to make some noise. It has been a very busy offseason for Auston already, picking up a handful of offers since the end of his sophomore season. Auston is an outstanding safety prospect that is only getting better every time we see him. His instincts are off the charts and he should be one of the best safeties in attendance this weekend.
AJ Vaughn – 2025 – C4 25’s
Sticking with the Oklahoma/Texas-based C4 squad but moving up to the 2025 group with our next DB to watch. And 2025 defensive back AJ Vaughn is actually a high school teammate of Auston in southern Oklahoma. While Auston is more of a safety prospect, Vaughn has established himself as one of the top cornerbacks in Oklahoma’s 2025 class. His stock has been rocketing up since the end of his junior season. Oklahoma’s 2025 class is incredibly deep in talent and Vaughn has proved that he belongs among the best in the group.
Antonio Harris – 2025 502 7v7
502 7v7 is bringing down a very talented group from Kentucky and they will be one of the teams to watch in the 18U division. This team has several 2024 standouts from Louisville Male High School but defensive back Antonio Harris is a junior standout looking to continue raising his stock. Harris already has a handful of P5 offers and is considered one of the top overall prospects in Kentucky’s 2025 class. Harris was electric on offense but then he turned around and was a lockdown corner. And it looks like defense will be where he ends up.
Antoni Morton – 2025 – Team Grind Hard
The first of several Tennessee defensive backs on this breakdown is 2025 Antoni Morton and he’ll be playing for Team Grind Hard this weekend. Morton enjoyed an All State junior season and this is going to be a very important offseason for the Tennessee standout. He already has a handful of offers under his belt and with a successful spring and summer, he could see that number go up in a major way. Following that successful junior season, his recruitment started to take off this offseason. He’s a 2025 prospect on the rise in Tennessee.
Dereon Crowe – 2025 – Indy Select South
Indy Select South is bringing a very talented group down to Tennessee and they’ll certainly be one of the teams to watch. 2025 hybrid defender Dereon Crowe is one of those players on the defensive side of the ball. Crowe is listed on our PRZ-Kentucky site as a linebacker but we could see Crowe going in either direction. Whether he’s a linebacker or a hybrid safety, Crowe is a very physically impressive prospects. Crowe has seen his recruitment start to take off this offseason with a handful of offers and it could be just the start.
Jamar Moultrie – 2025 – YOG Select
YOG Select is coming up from Alabama for the second straight year and looking to finish the job this time around. They made a run in bracket play last year and want that title this weekend. They have several standouts to watch but on defense, our eyes will be on 2025 standout Jamar Moultrie out of Hoover. Moultrie has a handful of offers and this is a big offseason for the Hoover product. Moultrie was covered by our writers earlier this offseason and expectations are high for him coming into this weekend’s tournament in Tennessee.
Javon Slaton – 2026 – Fast Break Mean Green
2026 standout Javon Slaton is another example of a two-way athletic threat that should shine on both sides of the ball. But for Fast Break Mean Green, Slaton could really emerge as a gamer on the defensive side of the ball. Slaton is going to give up the size advantage a lot of the times but the sophomore plays bigger than his frame and between that, his athleticism and speed, he’s going to give opponents problems this weekend. Slaton also was one of the top testers at our PRZ-Tennessee camp earlier this offseason.
Jeremiah Dent – 2027 – Arkansas Elite
The only freshman on this breakdown is 2027 athlete Jeremiah Dent from Arkansas. He’ll be playing for Arkansas Elite this weekend and we’re fired up to see what he can do on defense. Now, Dent had a breakout freshman season last fall as a running back but he also has a very high ceiling on the defensive side of the ball. When talking about Dent earlier this week, his coaches brought up the instincts he plays with. And with Dent just being a freshman, the fact that he’s already instinctual on the field and producing at a high level is scary.
Kari Dixon – 2026 – Mid TN Wolfpack
This is a big offseason for 2026 two-way standout Kari Dixon and this weekend he’ll be playing with Mid TN Wolfpack. Dixon has been covered a handful of times as a two-way player and overall athlete. But this weekend, we’re fired up to see Dixon on the defensive side of the ball at the cornerback position. While Dixon can also be a playmaker on offense at wide receiver, he could have a massive impact on defense. His overall athleticism and speed is going to make him an absolute pest for wide receivers to contend with this weekend.
Omari Bledsoe – 2026 – Savages 7v7
We wrap up this breakdown with another Tennessee standout looking to defend his home turf. 2026 defensive back Omari Bledsoe will be playing for the Savages 7v7 squad and he’s going to be one of the top DBs in attendance. Bledsoe already has eight D1 offers and that numbers is going to continue to rise as we move forward into the spring and summer months. Bledsoe is a long defensive back with fantastic size and there’s a lot of potential there already. Needless to say, the ceiling is incredibly high with Bledsoe this weekend and beyond.
