Prospect Sheet Deep Dive: Peachtree Ridge Lions

Peachtree Ridge has been on the rise over the last few years. With a strong upcoming senior class mixed in with some youngsters ready to break out, they're a threat to top their 2024 win title by several games while sending a handful of seniors to the D1 ranks.   2025 Unsigned Players   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>OLB/DE Kingston Allen - 6'0 190</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>DL Zach Deville - 5'10 220</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>LB Alex Faruq - 5'10 205</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>DL Ryan Gaudin - 6'0 242</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>OL Adrian Guerrero - 6'0 272</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>OL Noah Ketempi - 6'2 330</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>DL/OLB [player_tooltip player_id='1405339' first='Enrique' last='Negron'] - 6'4 215</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>RB Nathaniel Crownie - 5'7 173</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>RB Sebastian Galvon - 5'7 165</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>LB Cory Hodgers - 5'8 175</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>TE Wilfer Jimenez - 5'10 185</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>RB Jaden McClain - 5'7 170</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>QB Jaylon Miller - 5'7 250</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>RB [player_tooltip player_id='1631930' first='Jorge' last='Ramos'] - 5'5 150</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>DL Alquan Wheeler - 6'1 250</li> </ul>   <ul class="wp-block-list"> <li>WR PJ Wilson - 6'0 160</li> </ul>   2026 Standouts    Addison accumulated nearly 650 total yards of offense in 2024 and is one of the team's top playmakers. He comes in listed at 5'10 190 with an impressive verified 10.9 speed in the 100M. Addison is dangerous in space thanks to his breakaway speed. He makes subtle cuts and changes in his path to get himself out of difficult situations. Shouldn't be viewed as a thumper, but he protects the ball while fighting hard through contact and frequently drags piles a few extra yards at the end of runs. Has a long frame with plenty of room for more mass, especially in his lower body. Addison checks plenty of FBS RB boxes and should get a crack at the D1 level as he continues to tie everything together.     Green broke 1000 AP yards this past offseason and is also a sprinter in T/F, where he consistently puts up middle 11-second times in the 100M. Green is more of a scat-back, leveraging his speed with quick feet and twitch to dance around contact and take advantage of cutback lanes. Vision is a plus at this stage, pinpointing paths down the field to maximize each carry. He accelerates to his top speed in a hurry and maintains speed through his cuts and jukes, generating weak tackling attempts. Green is a highly productive receiver out of the backfield and demands attention every snap as a result. Green projects as a change of pace/3rd down back at the D1 level.     Active DL prospect who had 66 total tackles and 11 TFLs as a junior. Fluellyn is a part of the 1000-pound club in the weight room and doubles as a baseball player. He is super athletic and explosive, as shown when he accelerates to contact. He is quick enough off the line to shoot gaps and create instant penetration. He does a good job of striking and shedding thanks to the fact that he beats blockers to the punch by arriving at their chest first. Flueylln holds FCS offers and possesses the twitch and general athleticism to compensate for being on the shorter side.   *Fluellyn now plays at Peachtree Ridge*     Hokes is the leading returning receiver for Peachtree Ridge and has picked up a handful of FBS offers during this contact period. Hokes is a well-refined receiver who can make an impact at all levels of the field. He eats up grass with his long strides, making him dangerous after the catch. He shields the catch point well on in-breaking routes. Against press coverage, he works smooth releases and doesn't waste any movement or footwork while doing so. He consistently gets DBs off-platform in his routes and seemingly always has a plan given the coverage he is lined up against. Hokes is a good athlete with long strides and adequate twitch, but he seems to have a solid understanding of the position and strikes me as a guy who draws plenty of targets at his best.     Kelly has been one of the more noteworthy QB prospects in GA over the last few years and has several D1 offers to his name. Kelly is an intriguing blend of size, athleticism, and arm talent. He has an elastic, natural delivery and generates enough velocity with his arm alone, even when mechanics aren't crystal clean. He can evade pressure in creative ways and has the athletic juice to be more than just a chain mover as a runner. His long strides allow him to lift off from defenses, while he flashes explosive and sudden change of direction to redirect his body and get vertical. While he's a good runner, he plays within the pocket well, proving capable of working through his reads and looking off defenders. Kelly will get a crack at the D1 level given he has traits that come through the screen and slap you in the face, while also being productive and efficient.     [player_tooltip player_id='1665682' first='Tyson' last='Sanford'] is a rising senior sleeper who I highlighted a few months ago. The basis of intrigue around Sanford is his blazing 100M time of 10.82. He isn't just a track star either. He produced as a junior both as a tackler and against the ball. While raw, separating down the field will be a challenge given his speed. He is long enough to tie up receivers and challenge at the catch point. He clicks downhill aggressively and isn't afraid of contact, perhaps the most transferable trait to the next level to pair with his speed. Sanford is someone to keep track of and with the current trend, his senior season should be his best.     [player_tooltip player_id='283900' first='Rhari' last='Thomas'] is yet another Peachtree Ridge playmaker with D1 offers under his belt. He is listed at 5'10 175, but plays much bigger. He is most dangerous after the catch and as a returner, where he pairs his solid vision with some grit, allowing him to weave in and out of running lanes while also battling through contact when needed. He should be viewed as a playmaker in space, but he has proven capable of separating at the top of routes against his current level of competition.    2027 Standouts    Abernathy is a thin, long WR prospect with a unique T/F background which includes hurdles and pole vault. He has contributed sparingly on varsity but should be viewed as a breakout candidate this fall. Abernathy is light on his feet and is a fluid mover across the field. I see enough on tape to assume he can utilize skip and hop releases to separate at the line, further backed up by track-and-field metrics. There's a lot to like about Abernathy athletically and he is only going to get bigger, now he just has to continue tying everything together on the field.     Paramore is still creeping onto the recruiting scene, but there are a lot of intriguing tools involved here that make him important to track. He checks the measurable boxes at 6'3 200 and is only getting bigger. He plays with the bend and closing speed to the football needed to rush the passer. He works his hands well at the point of attack. Now, he just needs to play with more violence and continue tying everything together. Paramore offers a lot of developmental upside.    2028 Standouts    Belfield, up to 6'1 160, is a young pup at QB who has already generated some buzz on the camp/7v7 circuit. Belfield is an impressive athlete who easily evades pressure and offers plenty when it comes to working off-platform. He is still developing proper mechanics and a feel for the position, but some of the requisite traits to contribute both as a passer and a runner are present. Another year of waiting in the shadows and then it could be Belfield's turn to take the reigns at QB for Peachtree Ridge.     There's a lot to like about Palmer, who contributed sparingly on varsity as a freshman. He is listed at 5'11 165, but plays much bigger, climbing the ladder through contact to make contested grabs. He flashes impressive ball-tracking skills over his shoulder. Palmer is a solid athlete, but he looks the part of a reliable pass catcher who can contribute at each level of the field. Palmer looks like a future FBS WR prospect.
