2024 Team Preview: North Cobb Christian Eagles

North Cobb Christian has an impressive 2027 class that will have college coaches across all levels knocking on the door over the next few years. Here, I dive into the NCCS roster and dish on some of their most noteworthy prospects.   <h2 class="wp-block-heading">X-Factor Players</h2>    [player_tooltip player_id='941943' first='Teddy' last='Jarrard'] has quickly emerged as one of the premier 2027 signal callers in Georgia. He has some P4 offers under his belt, and I expect that offer list to continue growing. Jarrard is a commanding 6'3 200 in the pocket, and I predict major physical growth is on the horizon. He plays with clean mechanics and a calm demeanor in the pocket, hanging back and taking on contact as he lets go of the ball. He has some pop in his arm, mixing up trajectories and getting the nose to turn over the top of safeties. He can drive the ball into tight windows, but I think he is plenty capable of adding even more arm strength. Jarrard reminds me of Auburn QB Holden Geriner, and I see a similar career development.     [player_tooltip player_id='1132857' first='Turner' last='Davis'] has been a "My Guy" since last fall. At our showcase in January, he was an underrated prospect who was new to football. Now, he is committed to play FBS ball at Air Force. He is raw and has most of his football experience ahead of him, meaning his upside is through the roof. It is impossible to argue against the physical traits Davis brings to the table. He is a long 6'1 175 with a basketball and track background. He is a grass scraper, nearly hitting the turf with his hands when in an athletic position. He is hard to throw over and he can stay in stride with anybody. Now, I am looking for him to play with more confidence and refine his twitchy movements as a senior. Given his athletic profile, I think that should come naturally.     Ray Dixon is another NCCS prospect headed to a service academy, committed to Army. He comes in at 6'2 255 with outstanding pass-rushing and pursuit skills. He might lack prototype height and length, but sometimes, explosiveness and overwhelming hustle can compensate for that. He is extremely quick off the line and has fiery hands, battling with blockers and willing himself free of their grip. He flashes eye-opening closing speed, quickly eliminating space between himself and the ball carrier. He also broke off a big run last year on offense, where he was able to flash plenty of his athletic gifts in the open field. Ray Dixon is a ball of energy and violence. Given time to adjust, he could rack up some sacks at the next level.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Noteworthy Players</h2>    Ormsby is one of the top playmakers for North Cobb Christian, reeling in over 550 receiving yards last year in 8 games. Ormsby isn't a burner, but he flashes impressive lateral mobility, allowing him to jump across the face of defenders and win at the line. He can stack moves, allowing him to run slightly more complex route combinations. As an upperclassman, look for Ormsby to take another step forward.     [player_tooltip player_id='1586595' first='Brody' last='Archie'] is a big safety with some thumping ability. He comes in at 6'2 185 with plenty of physical development left in the tank. He strikes with good pad level and is capable of upending ball carriers. Archie isn't a burner, but he is a patient second-level defender and takes good angles to the football. Archie is absolutely somebody to track over the next three years.     [player_tooltip player_id='210612' first='Carson' last='Bruce'] is another top playmaker for NCCS. Here is an eval from this past fall:   "Bruce is a chess piece for North Cobb Christian, taking snaps all over the field on offense and also playing snaps on defense and special teams as a long snapper. Bruce is one of the most productive freshman receivers in the state, and he is doing it all while playing a TE/HB-type position at 6'0 180. Bruce is schemed up several different ways to touch the football, with most of his opportunities coming in the flat with the ball in his hands. From there, his YAC capabilities are on display. He isn't a burner, but he has solid suddenness and explosiveness in his lower body and has a solid understanding of when to bounce the ball outside. He is capable of creating separation for himself, whether by juking around tacklers or by fighting them off with a stiff arm. Either way, he is physical with the ball in his hands and offers a unique receiving threat from a position you usually don't see a lot of volume from. He projects more as a traditional WR long-term if he sticks with offense. The physical reps he has right now as a blocker and after the catch will only help him as he settles into a more specific position in the future."     Beedjy Guerrier is another shorter, yet stout and explosive DL prospect. He is built with thick legs, allowing him to hold his ground and battle with bigger blockers. When he comes unglued from his blocks, he showcases good pursuit skills, flagging down the football from across the field and sending the QB in retreat. To compensate for lack of length, Guerrier is pretty explosive off the line and can often slip by the offensive front while keeping his chest clean.     Thomas Hale is a physical defender who can be moved around the second level like a chess piece. He is listed around 5'11 170, size that projects him as a DB. However, his play style is very LBish, for lack of a better term. He is physical, putting his helmet down to blow up blocks and violently fly to the football. At the next level, settling in at a DB spot that allows him to roll down closer to the LOS is likely where he will thrive.     Denim Stevens is a breakout candidate for North Cobb Christian and is set to be their top option at RB this fall. Stevens is a short scat-back, taking advantage of the yards evaluable and relying on his fiery feet to dance around contact and create his own yards. He is shorter, which often works in his favor as second-level defenders can struggle to pinpoint him in the backfield.     Dylan Rainey is one of the best athletes on the squad. At CB, he flashes the blend of footwork and speed needed to stick on WRs like glue. He is on the smaller side at 5'10 175, but compensates for some of that size with his impressive athletic traits. Rainey could end up playing in the slot at the next level, but there is still 3 years of growth ahead of him.    <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Other Names To Watch</h2>   2025 LB Spears Martin   2026 ATH Cooper Bazarsky   2026 OL/DL Mike Patterson   2027 ATH [player_tooltip player_id='438527' first='Jake' last='Orton']   2027 ATH Kayson Fernandez   2027 ATH Austin Tamborra   2027 ATH DJ Huggins   2027 ATH JD Aufderheide
