He'll play for an outstanding offense staff and will have several major weapons on the outside to throw the ball too. The Bears are loaded with talent which and employ a system that should lead to a giant senior season for Langford. He'll bring starting experience and will be throwing to arguably the best wide receiver duo across the state. Look for him to put up some of the best numbers of any quarterback in the area in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1153229"],"_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-67cc5f2e2087f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A new quarterback to know this year in the Peach State, Holtzclaw is a transfer from North Carolina who will be the leader of the mighty Carrollton Trojans offense this upcoming fall. Holtzclaw already holds D1 offers and couldn't ask to be in a better position for his final high school season. Playing for arguably the best coach across the state and in an offense friendly to the quarterback, Holtzclaw has several Power Four receivers to sling the ball too and should put up big numbers this fall for the Trojans.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1090770"],"_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-67cc5f2e208c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A North Georgia quarterback on the rise who continues to work hard on his craft, Jones is a terrific athlete and a former wide receiver who opened some eyes at quarterback last season as a junior. The Pickens quarterback threw for 1,652 yards and 14 touchdowns last fall while rushing for another 712 yards and nine more scores. He's a dual-threat talent who is improving more and more as a passer. The Dragons have plenty of returning weapons for Jones to throw too next fall so do't be surprised if the big 6-foot-4 passer puts up big numbers in his final season. He should be one of the better quarterbacks in that area of the state for the 2025 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1089005"],"_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-67cdf023e9b98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrated quarterbacks in Georgia for the 2026 class, Johnson is a big quarterback with a live arm who continues to improve year after year. This South Georgia passer had a big junior season last fall for the mighty Yellow Jackets where he threw for 2,440 yards and 25 touchdowns. He's improving more and more and has two of the best receivers in the area to throw the ball too. Look for this sleeper gunslinger to have a giant senior season next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401554"],"_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-67ce055d777dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A North Georgia quarterback who played better and better as the 2024 season went along, this small-town dual-threat quarterback finished the season on a high note, playing outstanding football over his final six games of the season with 14 touchdowns and just two INTS over that span. He finished the season with over 1,700 passing yards and 21 touchdown passes while rushing for just under 500 yards and eight more scores. He led North Hall to an impressive season and should be even better as a senior next fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
