John Austin Sterling
John Austin Sterling 6'3" | 185 lbs | WR | 2026
MS
<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We really love this class in Mississippi. There are some studs in this class who needs to be talked about more. They really get it done. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Case Thomas</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are truly excited that we have been fortunate enough to cover this young man. He is one of the most explosive receivers in the state of Mississippi. Thomas is a player from MRA who is known for getting really active in the trenches. This is one of those guys who works really hard. He also has the ability to go up and high point the football. We think that Thomas is a stud who college football fans should be keeping up with.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1336617' first='John' last='Austin Sterling']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sterling is another receiver from this class who we like a lot. We feel like he is another player who is flying under the radar. When he goes up to get the football, a lot of guys do not really have a chance. Sterling is going to always be a guy who gives cornerbacks problems in the red zone. He is also known for his aggression on the field. Sterling is able to get a good release from the line. However, we do feel like he could be a better route runner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Andrew Winfun</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Winfun is a 2026 prospect from North Pontotoc a lot. We have been keeping up with him since his freshman season when he was their full-time running back. We feel like he is going to be a running back on the next level. Winfun is very strong with good vision. He is now the starting quarterback for his team. We do not think he is going to be a quarterback on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Donovan Winfun</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Winfun is the brother of Andrew. We think that Winfun is going to be a wide receiver on the next level. He is a stud who has good speed and makes a lot of long runs after they catch the football. Winfun has some good weight. His height is not to worry about. This kid is a playmaker. We feel like he is going to be a guy who plays college football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

We really love this class in Mississippi. There are some studs in this class who needs to be talked about more. They really get it done. Let's check it out.
