Prospect Sheet Deep Dive: Dutchtown Bulldogs

Dutchtown is home to some of the more physical, violent football players in the state. From top to bottom, their classes are each stacked with projectable talent to the college level, including FBS and P4 guys.   2026 Standouts    [player_tooltip player_id='401550' first='Nick' last='Burden'] is a prototype corner prospect who has seen his offer list grow exponentially this last contact period. Official weight has been reported anywhere between 165 and 185, but has room to pack on more weight to his long dimensions regardless. Burden is a big, physical corner prospect with striking potential. He flies to the football like a missile and will lay some blows on ball carriers once momentum gets going. He does a good job settling down and widening his tackle radius to lower his margin of error. He is more of a strider, but he has clean footwork and shifts downhill from his back pedal efficiently. His long strides enable him to gallop to the football. He tracks the ball well through the air and uses his length to make catches challenging at the catch point. Burden plays with a physical edge, gallops around the field, and still has his best ball ahead of him.     [player_tooltip player_id='1590208' first='Jamarion' last='McKinney'] is coming off a breakout fall and has added a few FBS offers to his name. He comes in at 6'1 180 with a cut, well-built frame, giving the illusion that he's bigger than he actually is. He is a patient route runner with outstanding spatial awareness. He is a long strider who effortlessly glides across the field, even if elite speed might not be present. He can go up and get it on the outside and can make grabs while in awkward spots. He is a true inside-out threat who is reliable at different levels of the field. Tremendous body control and good pacing and feel for his routes are the intrigue of his game, on top of his frame.     Aiden Parker is a rock-solid edge defender who can play standing up and with a hand in the dirt. He is already well-built and plays much bigger than 215. There looks to be at least some room to add more weight as well. He is tough to move and works hard to sheer off blocks and free himself. He is light on his feet and glides to the football. When he arrives at the QB, he does a good job playing laterally and keeping the QB from slipping outside. As a junior, he played more in space, shining light on another facet of his game. He mirrored receivers in the slot and showcased elite range and closing speed to the football. He will project more as a DE, but his combination of strength, range, and tackling ability sets the stage for a high-floor prospect.     Rishon Postell is on Ivy League radars. His three sport background indicates athleticism. His 100M PR sits at 11.57 and his triple jump PR is just shy of 42 feet. Postell is an extremely twitchy athlete with elite footwork. He is smooth in his backpedal, matches release points exceptionally well, and attacks through the hands of WRs at the point of attack. He is a willing participant as a tackler and rallies hard to beat ball carriers to a spot. When the ball is in the air, he keeps his eyes on it while twisting and turning for positioning, allowing him to stay on time and play the ball. Postell has D1 offers, but I consider him massively underrated. He can play every spot in the secondary. I can't point to an area of his game that I would consider a major weakness at this stage.     Kaiden Stanciel picked up an offer from West Virginia in November, but he is still a relatively quiet name coming off the contact period. His frame won't immediately catch your eye, but his disproportionately long arms allow him to play bigger. He does an excellent job fighting with his hands to keep his chest clean. He will rip through blockers and bring his arm over as well. He works overtime to keep his feet and battle off blockers at the point of attack. When given a runway to the football, he has the closing speed to get there and wreck the play before it develops. If Stanciel was 6'4, he would have stars next to his name. Instead, some school will have a toolsy, gritty DL prospect fall into their lap.     Jayden Lemon is a lowkey DB prospect with one of the more impressive multi-sport profiles in the state. He is an elite T/F athlete, running 6.94 in the 60M, 11.02 in the 100M, and long jumping 22' 04''. On the gridiron, he flies around the field like a heat-seeking missile. You can be confident that he will always be around the football given his speed. He plays mostly corner, where he has the speed and hips to turn and burn and stay in stride with receivers down the sideline. He doesn't check prototype press corner length boxes, but he isn't afraid at all to step up and jam receivers at the line. His size will likely restrict him to nickel or safety where he can play with more freedom as a tackler and show off some range. He is on the upper echelon of athletes in the state and should get a crack at the next level, whether that's in football or track will be decided in the future.    2027 Standouts    Braylan Dixon fits the bill of some of the other older pass rushers on this Dutchtown squad. He is long, lanky, and pursues the football well. He is still developing some first-step explosiveness and twitch, but he keeps his eyes up and works hard to free himself from blocks. He plays with lateral patience, keeping the QB in front of him during the scramble drill and holding outside contain against the run. He smells blood in the water when he has a runway to the football, opening up and accelerating hard to contact. He uses his length to engulf ball carriers and wrap them up. Dixon will play an even bigger role as a junior. He should be able to naturally add more twitch and explosiveness, something that can put him on FBS radars next offseason.     Dylan Kellings is seemingly set to take over QB duties this fall for Dutchtown. There is little varsity film out there right now, but he is a productive basketball player and has some harnessable athletic traits. He has a long, natural throwing motion with the arm strength to sling the ball outside the numbers. Dutchtown is high on his upside. It will be a big fall for him. He is a breakout candidate.    2028 Standouts    While it's still early and he has yet to fully break the varsity seal, Chase Foster is already one of the premier big guys in the state in the 2028 class and already claims half a dozen offers. He certainly passes the eye test, looking all of his 6'4 240 listed frame and likely holding more weight than that. He looks strong enough to physically manipulate people yet light enough on his feet to attack with some finesse. I will need to see him in person or see some full-season tape to confirm all I just said, but P4 schools aren't offering for no reason. He looks to be one of the most physically mature 2028 prospects in the land.     Dutchtown's recent crop of elite older DBs will seemingly pass their torch off to [player_tooltip player_id='891920' first='Caleb' last='Ivey'] soon, who already has FBS offers to his name. He is listed at 6'1 150 with another 3 and a half years of physical maturity left in the tank. Ivey has long strides and fluid hips, allowing him to effortlessly open up and run stride for stride with receivers down the sideline. He stays attached on the hip and is sticky in coverage, proving difficult to separate against. He uses his length to work through the hands of WRs and punch at the football. He leverages elite man coverage skills with length and physical upside. He is already one of the premier 2028 DBs in Georgia and is only going to get better.
