These athletes have put in the work and have seen an uptick in offers/interest.

He's grown into his frame at 6-2, 185 pounds with two more seasons of growth. Alston is stamped as a P4 wide receiver prospect in the 2026 class who will be an impact this coming fall season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Justin Williams | WR | 2026 | Buchholz | @Jstnw13</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is a big-play wide receiver standout who made a huge impact as a sophomore with over 1,000 receiving yards and 17 TDs. This kid deserves recognition for his production and potential upside to develop into a real deal recruit. He's earned recent verbal offers from Ole Miss, Wake Forest , and Army.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1249169' first='Demetrice' last='McCray'] | WR | 2026 | First Academy | @DemetriceMccr13</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top 2026 WR prospects in the area deserves some recognition. Another transfer of this offense who will be a go-to target at wideout. Solid frame at 6-0, 187 pounds with plenty of time to grow and work on technique. He's picked up recent offers from North Carolina, Illinois, and Liberty.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='927727' first='Jaeden' last='McMillan'] | ATH | Class of 2026 | Holy Trinity Episcopal | @1wayJaeden</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McMillan is one of the better receiver prospects in the class of 2026 who has potential to play Division I ball at the next level. Has already generated some interest in his recruitment heading into his sophomore season. He's a pure athlete that is effective in various aspects. Helped his team in multiple departments last year and is for sure someone we will have eyes on.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1283611' first='Hayden' last='Moore'] | ATH | 2026 | Newberry | @HaydenM_14</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Talk about being a natural D1 athlete with all the tools to work with. If this kid gets in the weight room and takes track a bit more seriously, Newberry will have another serious prospect on the roster. He showed off his versatility in a blowout spring game performance with 2 receptions ( 100 yards), 1 touchdown, and 1 interception. Moore is already a problem but is still putting it all together. A 6-3 frame, Moore is a talented wide receiver who I could possibly see playing the defensive back position at a high level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
