2026 Prospects To Keep Up With This Combine Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are going to be sure to keep our eyes on the prize this offseason. There are prospects out there who we are anxious to get our eyes on. The offseason is always a good time to see your stock go through the roof. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691285' first='Grant' last='Kitchens'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kitchens is a stud we have been keeping up with for a long time. We know he is one of those guys who is going to have the opportunity to play division one football. He is a big boy who gets out there and makes some ways for his running backs to run the football. Kitchens is a guy who coaches want to play the tackle position. They will be keeping a close eye on how well he progresses in his pass blocking. This is a guy to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1093793' first='Reed' last='Taylor']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is another offensive lineman prospect who we like. Taylor is a guy who we think is going to be a center on the next level. He is out there in Dallas at the Army Bowl representing well for the Pearl community. Taylor is getting quicker, and he checked in at 6-foot-2, 281 pounds. He is already receiving division one attention from schools. Taylor got a lot better at pass blocking this season. We think he is going to impress a lot of guys this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Desmond Ball</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ball is a prospect from Clarksdale who we like a lot. This is a guy who we think is going to be a nickel or safety on the next level. Ball is the kind of player who is able to come up and make big hits. He does not mind giving up his body. There is no hitting in the offseason. Coaches want to see how well a kid can cover. He has been stepping up doing a good job. He gets in and out of his back pedal with ease. Ball is another prospect in this class to keep your eyes on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='691287' first='KJ' last='Cork']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are expecting Cork to come out and have a big season this year. He is one of those guys who has been shining since his freshman season. He helped Choctaw County win a state title this season. There are things that he does on film, and they look really good. Cork needs to hit a lot of different camps this offseason and show he is capable of being a quarterback on the next level. We have seen him be a very accurate passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
