Wide receiver Avery Crawford is the first of two 2025 prospects that really stood out to us throughout the weekend. In the championship game in particular, Crawford made one of the better catches of Sunday's action. Early on in the title game, Crawford tipped a pass multiple times before hauling it in while on the ground for their opening touchdown of the game. That was just one example of how Crawford could make really difficult plays and he was routinely making them look very easy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='694376' first='Blaise' last='Hayes'] - 2027 Wide Receiver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The youngest prospect on this breakdown is wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='694376' first='Blaise' last='Hayes'] and look, this YOG Select team had plenty of firepower on the offensive side of the ball. There were players making plays all over the place throughout the two days in Georgia. However, it seemed like every time we were watching them, Hayes would make at least one or two catches on every single possession. He was incredibly consistent and incredibly productive throughout the weekend. Hayes was definitely a player that stood out to us during the two days with his ability to consistently get open and he was constantly attacking the middle of the field and stressing the defense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='544933' first='Cayden' last='Hofbauer'] - 2026 Quarterback</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We mentioned how YOG Select had quite a few weapons at the wide receiver position. In order for them to really impact the game, they needed a quarterback that could get them the ball. 2026 signal caller [player_tooltip player_id='544933' first='Cayden' last='Hofbauer'] really stood out throughout the weekend and the thing that we liked the most was his ability to make accurate and consistent throws, no matter what the scenario. He was able to drop back and fire darts all over the field but he was also able to keep that accuracy if he was on the move. Hofbauer really impressed us with his ability to put the ball where his wide receiver could make the play. He didn't have very many mistakes during the two days in Georgia. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1604821' first='Jeremiah' last='Tabb'] - 2026 Wide Receiver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>2026 wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1604821' first='Jeremiah' last='Tabb'] was one of the hotter prospects in attendance this weekend in north Georgia. Tabb has seen his recruitment absolutely explode over the last few months. Tabb is starting to pick up interest from SEC programs as Arkansas and Kentucky have already offered and that's just scratching the surface. Tabb is a very impressive athlete to watch in person. He's a big receiver and he told us that college coaches like him as an outside receiver because of his overall athleticism and ability to use that size to his advantage. But after watching him in person, it feels like he could play a variety of positions on either side of the ball because of his size. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='958189' first='Reggie' last='Jackson'] - 2025 Wide Receiver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='958189' first='Reggie' last='Jackson'] was the other 2025 prospect that really stood out to us and it started from the start of the tournament. Jackson immediately passes the eye test when you watch him in person. He gave YOG Select a tall target on the outside and there were countless moments where the play was very simple. Throw it up and let Jackson climb the ladder and go get it. He was a physical mismatch for just about every defender that came to north Georgia. Jackson wasn't just a big frame that could go up and get a jump ball. He ran strong routes and had a good ability to get open with a high frequency. He's headed to the JuCo level and could climb higher in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
