Shorter Recruit Camp: Top 5 Fastest 2026 Campers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There were close to 600 campers at Barron Stadium on Saturday for the Zack Morrison Shorter University recruit camp. The field is dominated by rising Seniors, the 2025 Class, but a few Class of 2026 kids show to try and get their name on the radar. Below are the 5 fastest reported 2026 participants.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Justin Faulkner</strong> - 2026 WR Bremen </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Junior WR measured out at 5'11.5 160 and ran the fastest 40 among the class of 2026 participants and the 2nd fastest overall at 4.47. Faulkner was already on our radar coming into this season after watching his film from last year. Speedy, physical receiver with great hands. Did real well in the 1v1's Saturday using his speed to distance himself from the defenders. Breakout candidate this Fall for the Bremen Blue Devils.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JustinnFaulkner/status/1726058520074727790","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JustinnFaulkner/status/1726058520074727790 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='853294' first='Peyton' last='Groce']</strong> - 2026 ATH Gordon Lee</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'8.25 169 ATH clocked in with the 2nd fastest time among the 2026 class with a 4.5. We saw Groce back in January at the Prep Redzone Camp where he finished Top 5 in all the metric categories. Solid built guy that spends a lot time off the field in the weight room. Has a good football IQ, coaches son, and loves the game. Definitely one to get on your radar this Fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/peyton_groce/status/1757802407742808234","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/peyton_groce/status/1757802407742808234 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>"LJ" Mostella</strong> -2026 DB Coosa Christian (AL)</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A true diamond in the rough on the football field. Mostella tied for the 2nd fastest 40 for the 2026 class at 4.5. He won the 100m and 200m Alabama State Title this Spring in his division. Decent size at 5'11.5 185. A little raw right now on the football field but makes up for it with speed and athleticism. Disruptive with his hands and can cover a lot of ground fast. Good in run support. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ljmostella32/status/1723161770238369918","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ljmostella32/status/1723161770238369918 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1258788' first='Evan' last='Jones']</strong> - 2026 WR Northwest Whitfield</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'9 153 WR is another guy we are familiar with from the Prep Redzone Camp. He ran the 4th fastest time for the '26 Class at 4.56. Outstanding route runner that knows how to create space and I swear he has football magnets for hands, the kid rarely misses anything thrown close. He had a good Spring receiving for over 100 yards and his Bruins have an outstanding QB that can get him the ball this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EvanJonesNW84/status/1799575559707467864","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/EvanJonesNW84/status/1799575559707467864 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Westin Crisp</strong> - 2026 ATH Adairsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'11 145 multisport ATH was the 5th best finisher in the 40 among the 2026 class. Track guy this Spring that finished 3rd in the Region in the 200m and competed in the sectionals in the 200m and the 4x200m. He has been clocked by Catapult at 22.2 mph. Not much football film posted yet but if he plays WR this season for the Tigers he has an outstanding QB that can get him the ball. On my watchlist. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/WestinCrisp/status/1799532271008907503","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/WestinCrisp/status/1799532271008907503 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
