Film Room: Analyzing 10 All-Region Performers, II

All-Region lists are a great tool to expand recruiting boards and dig up some hidden gems in Georgia. Here are 10 more All-Region performers in Georgia who impress me on tape.    High upside OT prospect with ideal measurables and athletic traits to stick at LT. Has optimal space to add plenty of good weight without developing bad habits. He is quick into his pass set and uses his length to catch rushers and redirect. He is light enough on his feet to shuffle and mirror secondary moves. He is often utilized on pulls and as a lead blocker down the field, showcasing some serious giddy-up. Andrew Rosinski, Dominic Steward, and [player_tooltip player_id='1158112' first='Dennis' last='Uzochukwu'] are a few OT prospects who started at a lighter weight and packed on plenty of weight as their HS careers progressed. I see some of those same traits in Hyrbu and am willing to bet some D1 schools will enter the sweepstakes soon.     Short, stout C prospect with formidable strength and an impressive power profile. What he lacks in length, he'll have to compensate for in leverage and effort. Vaughn is extremely difficult to move off the snap and creates push in the middle of the offense. He naturally has good pad level and does a good job of timing his punches and jabs to decleat defenders. He flashes the motor and violence to finish plays through the dirt. He is instinctual enough to occupy several defenders and looks to pass them off to other blockers. As it stands now, Vaughn has the power to compensate for his short stature and ultimately is a D1 caliber IOL prospect.     Fleet athlete at 6'4 290 who played strictly RT as a junior. He carries his weight well and has plenty of room to add more mass. Surprisingly, he is a natural mover when he opens up his stride, proving efficient on pulls and as a lead blocker. Hand placement needs refinement, but he keeps his feet firing through contact to drive defenders off the ball. Overall, a solid athlete with good measurables and some physical upside present. He can easily surpass 300 pounds without sacrificing any movement skills. Alford has FBS offers under his belt and should add more this offseason.     Well-rounded LB prospect with production across the field. His ability to play in coverage instantly catches your eye. He plays with good eye discipline, stalking the QB and passing off WRs coming in and out of his zone. Came away with 4 INTs as a junior, doing so by sitting in passing lanes and baiting throws. Range is absolutely a factor, rallying to the football aggressively while showcasing sideline-to-sideline speed. He rallies hard, but settles down and mirrors before tackling. He is capable of striking in the open field. Dyce has FBS offers and could sound P4 alarms this offseason.     Long, lanky corner with the bulk of his development still ahead of him. He has grass-scraping length in his arms and has room to easily get up to and surpass 200 pounds. He doesn't possess elite straight-line speed, but his footwork at release points is solid. He is fluid in the hips to flip and run with receivers to a spot. His length proves pesky at the catch point. For such a thin prospect, he is sudden, clicking quickly when coming downhill to make plays on the ball. He is a solid tackler who hits with good pad level and uses his length to attack the trunk of ball carriers. At his best, McDowell is a big corner who can tackle in space. He holds 2 D1 offers and could be due more this offseason.     Gary Borders III is an energetic, back-against-the-wall S prospect with outstanding tackle production as a junior. Listed around 6'1 170 with enough room to get close to 200 pounds. Roams the field at safety, but also slips down and plays in the slot and in the box as a nickel. Borders is solid at the catch point, making effort PBUs on tape. However, it's his run-and-chase ability that sticks out to me. He has solid speed, but he takes fantastic angles and arrives hard upon contact. On tape, you can see that he hits hard enough to separate ball and even helmet from ball carrier. Borders is a classic "don't overthink it" eval. He has solid measurables, solid athletic traits, and is a violent striker at S. He has FCS offers and will add more.     [player_tooltip player_id='1323158' first='Mycah' last='Mitchell'] is a tall, long, lanky EDGE prospect who is solid against the run at this stage. He does an outstanding job pinpointing the football and directing his way through contact. He plays at a lighter weight but uses his length to keep his chest clean and he works hard against contact. Mitchell does a great job of getting into the right position by either shuffling or spinning into a new running lane. Mitchell looks best against the run, but he has the bend and length profile to catch the edge and chase the QB. Mitchell holds his listed 220 well and can easily carry more weight.     Stout, explosive LB prospect who is well-developed for his age. Rocked-up frame that holds his own against blockers and is truck-proof in running lanes. Johnson is best as a run-and-chase defender, where he can play off-script and quickly rally to the football. If he doesn't make tackles, he can cut off angles and redirect the play back toward another tackler. Johnson is a strong tackler who wraps and wrestles ball carriers to the turf. He is more explosive than most 2027 RBs and could be due some serious recruiting buzz this offseason.     Elijah Green is coming off a breakout junior campaign and is still an underrated receiver worthy of D1 attention. He is listed around 5'11 170 and can play inside out. Green is a smooth mover who relies on deception in his releases to create separation. He skates through release points to attack leverage and sinks his hips to work back toward to the QB. Green's hands might be the best part of his game, plucking the ball in a crowd and reaching across his frame to make unconventional grabs. Green doesn't have verified speed, but he has enough to split safeties down the field and start a foot race to the endzone.     This is my first time watching Haertel's tape, and to say I am intrigued would be a massive understatement. For starters, the athlete is impressive. Haertel is rocked up and a physical outlier amongst his competition. An 11.19 verified 100M time at 6'0 200 is moving a lot of weight quickly, and it is evident on tape. Haertel plays both ways for Forsyth Central. As a defender, he showcases real striking potential at his size. On offense, he is a clear threat with the ball in his hands. He has the speed to explode through running lanes and take advantage of yards available, but physical enough to shrug off tackling attempts and drive through contact. I can't project him to a precise spot at this rate, but a future at the LB spot seems realistic.
