2026 Prospects I Would Offer Today

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are some guys in the 2026 class who we think are going to start seeing some offers coming their way. We have taken the time to evaluate these guys this season. We know they are going to blow up really soon. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Case Thomas</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thomas is a player who is going to do his thing every game. He is a guy who knows how to get busy when he is on the islands. Thomas is a guy who can get open when he needs to. He has been clocked at a 4.55 in the 40-yard dash and he has amazing hands. He is a guy we feel should be mentioned amongst the top receivers in this class. Thomas is a real dog who is aggressive at going to get the football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1243091' first='Jayden' last='Cration']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Cration is a guy who we have been keeping up with since this summer. He is one of those players who knows how to go up and get the football. He is working on becoming a better route runner. We feel like when he adds that to his game, he will be a top ranked receiver in the nation. This kid is a stud who knows how to go up and get the rock. He also has good speed that allows him to easily get away from defenders.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691282' first='Jase' last='Mathews']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mathews is a receiver from Greene County who is going to turn a lot of heads this season. This is a stud who knows how to get open. Mathews is also a guy who goes out of his way to make things happen on the field. What I mean is how hard he goes after he catches the football. You are going to see him explode to try to get to the end zone. This is a guy who also has some great bounce. You can just toss it up to him when you are in the end zone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1351501' first='Shane' last='Farmer']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Farmer is a guy from Calhoun City who we like a lot. This is a guy who we feel can play a nickel back or strong safety type of position. We have not seen him in man coverage a lot, so we do not know how he will excel in that area. However, he does have the quickness and good enough speed to be a problem in zone coverage. We also know that he does not mind coming up to make tackles. This is a dog on the football field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
