<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>NwGaFootball, one of the leading sources of high school football information in the NW/W Georgia Area, released their Top 90 Small School players list.

He recently won the MVP at the UA Combine in Atlanta and is a 3x State Champ with the Red Devils. Outstanding athlete off the field, putting up a double double nightly on the hardwood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>National recruit with offers from everyone.

He has grown from 6'2 235 to now 6'3 290. The AAA All Area and All State selection as a Junior is one of top DL prospects regardless of Class North of Atlanta. Powerful kid with good technique and mobility. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sager has seen his stock rise considerable during the latest evaluation period and now holds 2 handfuls of offers. Memphis, Georgia Southern, Georgia State and Yale are among the programs that have shown interest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283895"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67af5c1867add"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#3</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'3 230 LB really saw his stock rise after an outstanding performance in the State Championship. Upshaw has been a player that I have been high on since the 1st time I rolled his tape. Great size and mobility and is athletic enough to drop back in coverage. He recorded 88 TT last Fall with 5 sacks and 3 FFs in helping to lead the Yellow Jackets to the Title. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Top 10 LB prospect is still flying under the radar with Georgia Southern the only reported offer to this point. D1 size and talent that will have many more opportunities to play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["910359"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67af5c1867b1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#4</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wilson played last season at Bowdon, helping the Red Devils win their 3 straight State Title. The 6'1 225 was one of the top 2-way players in Class A last season with 561 yards receiving, 10 TDs and recorded 61 TT with 8 TFLs on defense. A tough, physical kid that blows over blockers and has great get off speed at the line of scrimmage. A 3 sport athlete that puts the work in the weight room and carries a 3.7 GPA in the classroom. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This hidden gem didn't go unnoticed in the latest evaluation cycle. Jackson St, Alcorn State, Jacksonville State and Buffalo were a few of the programs that extended offers over the past month. Great upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1163339"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67af5c1867b5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#5</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'0 170 dual threat QB had an outstanding Junior season accounting for over 1800 yards with 27 TDs. Nuckolls has outstanding mechanics and delivers the ball on a rope. Does a great job reading the defense and has deceptive speed when he pulls the down to run. A natural at the position that almost makes the game look effortless. Was named to the GACA Junior All Star Team last Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nuckolls picked up an offer from Eastern Kentucky early in his high school career and has received interest from several FCS programs since. QB is a tough position when it comes to recruiting but Nuckolls has the ability to make an impact at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1610586"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67af5c1867b9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#6</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 5'11 190 is a Swiss Army knife for the Yellow Jackets and could probably have success at any of the skill positions on either side of the ball. He was a GACA All State selection at his bread and butter position, linebacker. Solid built frame that gives him the appearance on film that he is shorter than his reported height but seeing him in person you know he is all of 5'11. Showed an example of his versatility last Fall winning GHFD POW after running for 154 yards and 3 TDs and adding 9 TT a FF and a INT in a comeback win over North Cobb Christian. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Offers/Outlook </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Murray State was the 1st school to job on board last week for this hidden gem. He has had an outstanding Soph and Junior seasons and should get more attention heading into the Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://twitter.com/Natedavis01077/status/1846739724678885465">https://twitter.com/Natedavis01077/status/1846739724678885465</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1201789"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67af5c1867bdc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#7</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'0 221 LB prospect is still relatively under the radar in the recruiting world but anyone that has watched his film knows this kid can play at the next level. The Region DPOY has good speed, quickness and is very physical at the point of contact. A natural football player that plays with passion. Was selected to the prestigious Rising Seniors All Star game this past December. A weight room warrior that ha already hit 315 PC max. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">No official reported offers yet but is receiving interest from multiple programs. The Top 25 LB prospect is a stock riser this off season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1577345"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67af5c1867c1d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#8</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryan had a breakout Junior season leading the State in receiving yards. One of those inbetweeners as far as metrics go but the Region POY has the ability to play at the next level. He is an outstanding route runner with great hands that has good acceleration after the catch. Bryan had (7) 100+ yard receiving games last Fall with an impressive 10 catches for 259 and 3 TD game to open the season. He had 3 INTs and 3 FFs on the defensive side of the ball in 2024. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No official reported offers yet but he will be hard to miss if he follows up this breakout Junior campaign with a strong Senior season. A can't miss FCS prospect that maybe a hidden gem at the FBS level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853294"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67af5c1867c58"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>#9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm a huge [player_tooltip player_id='853294' first='Peyton' last='Groce'] fan after seeing him live at our Prep Redzone Combine last Winter and again at our personal combine last Summer. He was in the Top 5% in all the metric categories at the PRZN Combine and had the fastest 40-yd laser time (4.5) of the 150 kids we tested last Summer. Not only a producer at Camp but also gets in done on the field. He rushed for over 1000 yards last Fall and recorded 65 TT on defense. Will be a 4-yr starter at the high school level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No reported offers yet.

Great size at 6'4 325 and can play anywhere across the OL including Center. Steele carries his 325 well and is an outstanding blocker off the snap with good flexibility . A motor grader that opened up huge holes for the Jacket RBs last Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Offers/Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>No official reported offers yet but with his size and skill is a no miss prospect at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
