In this article:

Carson Pope
Carson Pope 5'9" | 160 lbs | WR | 2028
TX
Hendrix Funk
Hendrix Funk 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB | 2029
TX
<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We know of some 8th graders who you need to get your eyes on. These guys are some beasts on the field. We are big fans and think they are going to do a good job on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1616763' first='Hendrix' last='Funk']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I was super impressed when I saw him on the field doing his thing. Funk is a quarterback who is going to play for Randall. Funk is going to be a stud at the quarterback position. He is already standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing in at 180 pounds. This kid has a lot of swag in the pocket and knows how to get things done. Of course, at his age, he has some things that he needs to work on, but we have a lot of faith in him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cortland Abby</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Abby is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound player from Hazlehurst who we like a lot. One of the best things that impressed us was his ability to handle things in basketball. He is an edge player in football who we think is going to be one to talk about over his next four years of varsity football. This dude is going to be really dangerous when he gets with the right trainers who will have his game right. Be sure to keep up with him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Eric McElroy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McElroy is a stud who plays the quarterback position. We have seen him go out and do some good things at 7v7 tournaments. We feel like he is a player who is going to start picking up some division one attention when it is his time to be a varsity starter. McElroy knows how to put the football in the right place for his receivers to make an easy catch. This is a guy to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1714859' first='Carson' last='Pope']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pope is another 2029 prospect who we were able to get our eyes on. This kid knows how to go up and get the football. He is a polished guy who we can see getting a lot better at running routes and more. Pope knows how to go up and get the ball at its highest point. Him and McElroy play for the same 7v7 team. They are a great tandem to their coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

We know of some 8th graders who you need to get your eyes on. These guys are some beasts on the field. We are big fans and think they are going to do a good job on the next level.
