RB: Izayveon Moore Izayveon Moore 5'8" | 165 lbs | RB Lawrence North | 2027 State IN 5’8″ 175, Lawrence North
A smaller, explosive back that can kick the turbos on at the drop of a hat. He’s a terrific off-tackle runner who tends to get lost behind the line before bursting through a seam.
WR: Noah Dearmon, 6’3″ 165, Heritage Christian
Dearmon has good vertical stature, he’s a smooth long strider that is also polished at the top of his route. He’s a sticky blocker out on the perimeter and has the concentration to adjust on underthrows.
DB: Noah Long Noah Long 5'11" | 165 lbs | ATH Yorktown | 2027 IN 5’11” 165, Yorktown
A reliable defensive back prospect that is a firm tackler, with clean footwork and shoots through the hands of attempted targets. He’s got relaxed hips and can easily transition out of his breaks.
WR: Caleb Kiengele Caleb Kiengele 5'9" | 165 lbs | WR North Side | 2027 State IN 5’9″ 170, North Side
A shifty slot receiver with reliable hands and great balance through contact. Caleb is willing to venture into the heart of a defense, he’s a tough runner after the catch and can adlib on his own for YAC.
QB: Cole Stephens Cole Stephens 6'2" | 165 lbs | QB Greencastle | 2027 State IN , 6’2″ 175, Green Castle
Stephens throws with timing and anticipation. He has the arm for deep vertical shots and can drop the football right over the shoulder. He can add zip for tight-window throws and has rare poise & moxy for a young prospect.
WR: Maalik Moore Maalik Moore 6'3" | 170 lbs | WR Fort Wayne Northside | 2027 State IN 6’3″ 170, North Side
A natural deep ball tracker with exceptional body control and a projectable frame. This young man understands where the holes are in zone and how to sit in them, he uses his size as a weapon to box out defenders and is slithery through the first tackle attempt.
OLB: Landen Murrary, 6′ 200, Andrean
A vicious pass rusher with quickness, high effort, and finishing ability. He plays as a defensive end right now, but I think based on his size he’ll be a true outside linebacker or an edge at the next level.
LB: Ethan Reyna Ethan Reyna 6'0" | 210 lbs | LB Andrean | 2027 State IN 6′ 205, Andrean
A disruptive inside linebacker prospect who has the quickness and strength to slip second-level blocks. He’s constantly hustling on tape, he scrapes down the line with his pads square, and is quite a physical tackler on contact.
