Also can play running back but best suited to play on the defensive side of the ball. Able to make tackles in space, covers a lot of ground quickly, and shows good ball skills. 3.8 GPA. Class of 2025. @d1_12_</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1318716' first='Griffin' last='Cockerham']</strong> - 6‘3“ 210 Defensive end out of Raleigh's <em>Cardinal Gibbons High School</em> is an up-and-coming defensive star. Clash of 2027. Has a great frame, good footwork, and he's very athletic with strong and violent hands. All-Conference as a freshman. 3.7 GPA. Rising star and someone to keep an eye on. @griffcockerham</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Cam'ron Jones</strong> - 6‘2“ 195 lbs. from <em>Reidsville </em>is one of the fastest rising 2025 prospects in the state. Put together an outstanding junior campaign at wide receiver catching 65 passes for 1116 yards and nine TDs. On defense, he recorded 52 stops and one pick at safety. All-Area Second Team as a junior. Is a physical outside receiver who catches everything within his frame. Go-to receiver with great hands. @camron_jones10</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1365426' first='Jariel' last='Cobb']</strong> - 2025 running back coming in at&nbsp;5'10” 185 lbs. from <em>Reidsville High School</em> rushed for over 1200 yards as a junior while displaying good instincts, physicality, vision, and hands.

Terrific all around athlete averages 15 points and 14 rebounds a game in basketball and averages 14 yards per catch at tight end. Certainly has the athletic ability to make the leap to big-time ball. @najaihines</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='616895' first='Steven' last='Murray'] - 6‘1“ 160 lb. wide receiver/free safety Gibsonville's <em>Eastern Guilford High School</em> is a 2025 standout who should receive All-American acclaim this season. Run a 10.6 100 m, averages 17 YPC and picked off five passes at safety. Offensive MVP. Very impressive junior film. @stevenmur</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zachary Lawrence </strong>- 6‘1“ 195 quarterback out of Matthews' <em>Butler High School</em> put together an outstanding junior campaign throwing for over 2100 yards and 28 TDs. He can make all the throws and shows the arm strength to throw the deep out with authority. Avid film watcher who can break down the opposition quickly and find their weakness. Smart, accurate and productive. Academic Allstate. 4.0 GPA. @zachqblawrence</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
