<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have some guys in this class we need to discuss. There are some new players on the scene who we know are going to make some big things happen this season. It has been exciting to see the way they are starting off. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Radarron Leech</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is a player we have been keeping up with for a long time. He is a player who is a problem for his opponents. He is guy known to be a run stopper. The offensive linemen who face him have to be prepared for a guy who is going to get low every time the ball his snapped. He has a nose for the run. That's why he is already starting off causing problems in the backfield. He is toting a heavy load that is not easy to move when he starts going forward. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1717155' first='Landon' last='Crawford'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not be confused with the 2027 quarterback from Winona, this young man is a problem from the edge. He is a guy from Horn Lake who we like a lot. Crawford is a 6-foot-1, 215-pound player who we know is going to cause a lot of problems this season. Crawford has quick moves from the edge. He also has what it takes to be an outside linebacker. We are hoping that we get a chance to check him out in person this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1127570' first='Travon' last='McDonald'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McDonald is a player who is super athletic on the field. He is going to be a guy who will have a chance to play football on the next level. McDonald is a defensive tackle who is always making ways for linebackers to come up and make tackles behind him. He is a guy we have seen play his position with a lot of energy. You will see him get a quick release a lot when he is coming off the line. He did an amazing job this past week against West Point.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Andrew Madd</strong>ox</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Maddox started off the season hot. He is known for the way he gets a mean push in the middle. Maddox has the skills you want a defensive lineman to have. He was making it rough on Grenada last week. This is a guy who we know we are going to be watching a lot this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Ardarius Gardd</strong>ner</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Gardner is a guy from Hattiesburg who is quick on the line. Him and [player_tooltip player_id='648940' first='Kevin' last='Oatis'] are always out there having a great time on the field. This is a guy who is going to be a stud for the remainder of the season. He is one of those stocky guys who can cause a lot of problems in the middle. Be sure to keep your eyes on him this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

We have some guys in this class we need to discuss. There are some new players on the scene who we know are going to make some big things happen this season. It has been exciting to see the way they are starting off. Let's check it out.
