He was coming off an MVP performance at the Elite Classic and finished in the Top 10% in both the 40 and the shuttle run at the combine. Showed great hands in the 1v1's.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Update: Currently at 5'9 185 and given a 4-star rating by the services. He had an outstanding soph season for PAC combing for close to 1900 yards with 19 TDs.

Was ranked as the #8 overall LB by Prep Redzone last Spring. Starts as a sophomore on one of the Top teams in the State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Update: He recorded 100 TT to lead Lee County in total tackles. Had an impressive 32 TFL with 12 sacks and 2 FF. He has received interest from Florida, Florida State and Georgia State. With Lee County potentially making a deep run in the playoffs this guy will be known on the National stage.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["416590"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6740de8a5bc8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parker impressed us with his size, now listed at 5'10 203, and athleticism. He placed in the Top 10 in the 40 and in the broad jump (9'5) last January as a rising sophomore. Physical guy that likes to run through defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Update: Parker accounted for 1100 total yards this season with 17 TDs for Macon County. Has a slew of P4 offers including Alabama, Tennessee and Florida State. Ranked as a Top 25 overall player in the 2027 Class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["574024"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6740de8a5bcd7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Benton was a guy I thought had all the natural athleticism to have a breakout sophomore season. Slender frame last January and tested out Top 10 in the 40-yard dash and had the 2nd best overall broad jump at 10'0. Showed good footwork. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Update: Benton is up to 5'10 170 and looks good with added weight. No stats available from Central Gwinnet but did watch some film. Was a good between the tackle back with excellent vision at the line of scrimmage and good explosion. 69th overall ranked player in the 2027 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158128"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6740de8a5bd18"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Little was a guy that caught our attention with his long lean build and showed some top-level agility in the shuttle run and the 1v1 competition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Update: Northside Warner Robbins had a down season at 2-8 and no season stats were posted. Was able to watch a few HUDL clips and he looked good lined up wide. Showed route running ability and good hands in traffic. With the resurgence of the Northside program next Fall, we will hear more from this WR prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["500055"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6740de8a5bd57"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stack made the trip to Atlanta from Alabama last January and impressed us with his athleticism. Undersized DE at 6'0 190 (last year) but showed good agility with a top 10 shuttle run and had a Top 10% broad jump. He had very good freshman film at one of the top programs in Alabama.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Update: Now listed at 6'0 200, Stack had 22 TT with 2 TFL and had a season high 7 TT in a win over Helena earlier in the season. High motor, coachable and has caught the eye of the University of North Alabama recruiting staff. Great upside with D1 potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
