Adkins has nice size at 5-foot-10 and 155-pounds, more weight of course will need to be added. Has posted a 4.8 forty-yard dash as well as a 4.4 shuttle. Also has personal bests of a 335 squat and 365 deadlift. Also spends time at running back, cornerback, and return specialist for Chapmanville.
Brown is one of the bigger wide receivers on our watch list at 6-foot-0 and 150-pounds. Also plays basketball for University High School. One of the better athletes on our watch list, I’d love to see more game tape out of Brown with only a few clips available. But in what is available, he shows signs of being a very good athlete who shows fluid hips and great acceleration and explosiveness in his game.
Campbell has great size at 6-foot-3 and 185-pounds. Could move to tight end at the next level where his skillset and athleticism would likely translate better. Decent athlete including a 29.4” vertical. Good soft hands, nice well rounded catch radius, and quality body control standout.
Cline has about a minute and a half of highlights available on HUDL. Nice sized wide receiver (5-foot-11, 160 pounds) quality route runner with soft hands. Good body awareness and has strong balance, able to take hits and stay upright. Also shows the ability to be a good blocker which will always translate to the next level as well.
Quality size at 5-foot-10 and 165-pounds. Athleticism is solid but not great with a 4.9 forty-yard dash time, a 7-foot-7 broad jump, and a 28” vertical. I personally believe there is more athleticism within Combs that can be unlocked over the next few years.
Nice sized wide receiver for South Charleston High School at 6-foot-1 and 190-pounds. Quality athlete with a 4.82 forty-yard dash, plays multiple positions for South Charleston including QB, WR, TE, LB, and RB. Nice sized hands as well at 10” with a 6-foot-4 wingspan.

Highlights
The Mingo Central standout has just one highlight available on his HUDL. That being said, Joplin has quality size at 5-foot-9 and 150-pounds. Quality athlete who plays three sports for Mingo Central, also playing baseball and basketball.
