<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have been hearing a word about a few guys we needed to check out. It is our job to do so and we did. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1608874' first='Lapaul' last='Boykin']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Boykin is a 2026 player from Booneville who we need to talk about today. He is a 6-foot-3, 250-pound who we think is going to be an interior defensive lineman on the next level. He is a player who can get around on the football field. We have noticed that he can shed blocks with ease. Booking is also a player who can move around a little. This is a stud. We are going to be getting more eyes on him this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1608841' first='Chris' last='Wells']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wells is a stud from Petal who we like a lot. He is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound. He is a long player with decent speed. We are looking forward to getting an eye on him this summer. We know he is a long player who knows how to use his length. You can also see that he is a player who does a good job of moving around in coverage. This is a guy you are going to want to get your eyes on this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1608840' first='Corey' last='Wells']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wells is the brother of Chris. This guy is a real dog who has been picking up a lot of attention lately. Yes, he is a power four prospect all day long. He is one of those guys who gets really busy in the trenches. You are going to see that he can stretch out and get offensive linemen out of his face. Wells knows how to stay low making it pretty difficult for OL to get a good block on him. Be sure to keep up with him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1217436' first='Jayden' last='Knox']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Knox is a guy who we think is going to see a lot of attention this offseason. We know that he has been picking up some interest from Southern Miss since their new staff has touched down. Knox is a very athletic player who has some good size. He recently checked in at Mississippi State at 6-foot-1, 186 pounds. This kid is a stud you are going to want to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402094' first='Jorden' last='Rush']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rush is a guy who has been on fire. He is a player from West Point who we have been keeping up with for a long time. This dude is dangerous when it is time to get to the quarterback. He recently picked up an offer from Southern Miss. Rush is a guy who we have seen in person quite a few times.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

We have been hearing a word about a few guys we needed to check out. It is our job to do so and we did. Let's check it out.
