Scrimmage Week 1: Adairsville Tiger Standouts

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Adairsville Tigers hosted the 2x State Champion Bowdon Red Devils on Friday in the 1st Week of Fall Scrimmages. In the typical scrimmage fashion the game was played without special teams with both teams taking the ball on the 30 after kickoffs. The varsity squad played all of the 1st half and one series each in the 2nd half. A very competitive game all the way around with the varsity portion ending 21-21. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below are some of the Adairsville Tigers that stood out on Friday night</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#14 [player_tooltip player_id='1275460' first='Xavious' last='Nalls'] -2025 WR/DB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'2 175 WR/DB has picked up a lot of steam at Prep Redzone the last few months with Connor Jackson naming him one of his <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/07/region-ids-10-of-my-favorite-prospects-from-nwga/">Top 10 Prospects in NWGA for 2024</a> . Athletic guy with a lot of length that transitions his talent on the basketball court to the football field. Matched up man v man with well with Bowdon's Top 10 recruit [player_tooltip player_id='908935' first='Kaiden' last='Prothro'] on the defensive side of the ball. He made a great one handed grab across the middle, going up high to pull it down, and raced 30 yards for the TD. Nalls recently picked up an offer from Reinhardt and will see his stock rise this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/XaviousN1/status/1819915447535305127","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/XaviousN1/status/1819915447535305127 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#15 [player_tooltip player_id='1555652' first='Ethan' last='Long'] - 2025 QB </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Dalton QB transfer picked up where he left off last season. The top returning ypg passer in our Area last Fall looked poised in the pocket and scanned the field well on Friday, throwing 3 TD passes to 1 INT. Experienced QB that does a good job managing the offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EthanLongQB/status/1819592539655024736","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/EthanLongQB/status/1819592539655024736 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#2 [player_tooltip player_id='1568706' first='Tre' last='Winters'] - 2025 WR/DB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The recent Air Force Academy commit passes the eye test when he walks on the field. The 6'4 170 WR looks like he has added some good weight since we saw him last Fall in the Region Championship v Bremen where he set a school record with 250 yards and 3 TDs. Good route runner that knows how to get himself open.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/NwGaFootball/status/1819506334825595324","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/NwGaFootball/status/1819506334825595324 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4 Colton Sanford - 2026 WR/DB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'8 160 WR/DB showed his breakout potential for 2024. A speedster with a great football IQ. He had two TD receptions Friday, one was a diving catch at the sideline for the Tigers 1st score. Active on the defensive side of the ball and came up with a couple of big stops from his DB position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#19 [player_tooltip player_id='1247342' first='Jamarian' last='Pullum'] - 2025 ATH</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pullum is a guy that we have been high on here at Prep Redzone for 2 years now. Long and lean and can play any skill position on either side of the ball for you. He had a couple of good runs from the RB spot on Friday and played well in the defensive secondary. He recently received his official offer from Charleston Southern and will be an impact player for the Tigers this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#0 Ethan Brown - 2025 DE/TE </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'3 215 DE passes the eye test when he walks on the field. The multiple sport athlete is solidly built from head to toe and is hard guy to keep out of the offensive backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#44 Righley Worthington - 2025 MLB</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Worthington was a new name for me on Friday. Good size at 6'2 225 at the MLB spot. Very active in the middle, quick and can play sideline to sideline, solid tackler. I'm looking forward to watching more of this guy this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#51 [player_tooltip player_id='1291244' first='Braxton' last='Ryan'] - 2025 OL</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'4 315 looks the part. He looks like he has slimed down and added some quickness since last Fall. Ryan was selected to play in the prestigious Rising Seniors All Star game last Fall and looks like he has dedicated himself in the off season to have a big Senior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#69 Jett Johnson - 2025 DT</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6'0 255 2x All Region and All Area DL showed why on Friday. Aggressive tackler that is hard to get a hat on. 4.0 student that works just as hard in the weight room. He received an offer to play at the next level from Sewanee earlier this Spring and is one of top uncommitted DL in the NWGA Area. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#16 Kolt Mccord </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5'11 200 is another guy on the defense that was active Friday night and not afraid to stick his nose in the action and mix it up. Good vision and gets to ball quick. Another Tiger that gets it done in the weight room and the class room. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
