[player_tooltip player_id='1506551' first='Marty' last='Myricks'] is an explosive RB out of Oak Mountain who put together a big season on the ground last fall.   Myricks is a complete back who is quick, plays with great speed, and has the elusiveness to easily make defenders miss in the open field. It's impressive watching him navigate the field with the ball in his hands, he does a great job maximizing every carry and consistently moves the chains and finds the endzone.   Myricks is just as reliable a pass catcher- he has great hands, can secure passes through contact, and has the YAC skills to evade and find tons of extra yards after the catch.   Myricks put together a great year last fall, ending the season with 103 carries for 535 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground and 19 receptions for 219 yards and one touchdown through the air.   Myricks just picked up an offer from Austin Peay this morning! Huge congratulations to him, he's a talented player with a big year ahead!      [player_tooltip player_id='1621006' first='Dedrick' last='Kimbrough'] is an explosive 2028 WR out of Thompson who has already been finding tons of success in the recruiting world this offseason   Kimbrough is a complete WR with an incredible skill set as an underclassman- he has great size, electric speed, and an incredibly reliable set of hands he uses to make highlight-reel catches all over the field.   I'm really impressed with Kimbrough's route running and body control- he gains tons of separation at every level of the field and can haul in ridiculous catches through coverage/contact. Any ball is catchable for a guy like Kimbrough- he has a terrific catch radius, great body control, and strong hands he uses to secure passes in some really impressive ways.   Kimbrough was terrific and made some huge plays last season, ending his freshman year with 22 receptions for 390 yards and 3 touchdowns.   Kimbrough has blown up in the recruiting world and found more success last week- this time picking up an offer from Tennessee!

[player_tooltip player_id='1610217' first='Braden' last='Gordon'] is an incredibly talented ATH out of Montgomery Academy who has quickly become one of the most highly recruited prospects in the state.   At 6'4 200, Gordon is excellent at using his size and speed to his advantage on both sides of the ball. As a WR/RB, he consistently outmatches opposing DBs in the secondary, easily gets open, and can create a ton after the catch and out of the backfield with how fast he is in the open field.   Defensively, Gordon completely overwhelms OL off the edge to create huge stops in the backfield. He uses his speed to his advantage and consistently pursues the ball carrier/quarterback to make impressive hustle plays nearly every snap.   Gordon ended his sophomore season with 41 carries for 288 yards and 6 touchdowns on the ground, 46 receptions for 749 yards and 8 touchdowns through the air, and 50 total tackles (37 solo, 14 for loss), 11 sacks, and one forced fumble.   Gordon picked up another offer this past week, this time from Michigan! Watch out for Gordon this fall- he and this Montgomery Academy team are set up for a big year.      [player_tooltip player_id='1625598' first='Monroe' last='Partin'] is a dominant EDGE/TE out of Bayside Academy who has seen his recruitment take off this offseason.   Partin is a dominant run defender who is excellent at reading and reacting to plays. He quickly gets off the snap, fights off blocks, and closes up rushing lanes at the line of scrimmage to come up with huge stops. Partin is a talented tackler- he's really good in pursuit and does a great job wrapping up and taking down the ball carrier all around the field.   Bayside is equally productive on passing downs- he's excellent at blitzing off-ball, using several different moves to work his way around OL and pressure/take down the quarterback. Partin is terrific at shedding off blocks and has the closing speed to fly to the ball and come up with stops nearly every snap- it's super impressive to watch.   Partin put up some absolutely ridiculous numbers for Bayside last season, ending his dominant junior season with 208 total tackles (114 solo, 6 for loss), 2 sacks, 3 hurries, and one interception.   Partin had a huge last week, announcing on Twitter that he had picked up two new offers from Louisiana and Memphis!      [player_tooltip player_id='378345' first='Ba'Roc' last='Willis'] is a dominant defender out of Moody who has become a national name in the recruiting world over the past two years.   At 6'3 225, Willis is an athletic force off the edge who can hurt offenses in several different ways. Willis is terrific against the run- he explodes off the snap, collapses the edge, and consistently works into the backfield to create huge stops behind the line of scrimmage.   Willis is equally dominant as a pass rusher- he has a wide variety of moves he uses to beat OTs into the backfield and consistently generates pressure and places huge hits on the quarterback.   Willis was terrific last fall and ended his sophomore season with 95 total tackles (59 solo, 26 for loss), 17 sacks, 38 hurries, and 3 forced fumbles (one recovered).    Willis picked up another huge offer this past week, this time from Michigan! Be sure to watch out for Willis this fall, he's got a huge junior year ahead.      [player_tooltip player_id='1625575' first='Shondell' last='Harris'] is a super talented ATH/DB out of Mary Montgomery who has lined up and produced at RB, QB, and DB over the last few years.   Harris is highly athletic and plays with a ton of speed wherever he lines up, especially on defense. Defensively, Harris is an impact playmaker who flies around the field to create tons of stops against the run and pass.   Harris is terrific out in coverage- he isn't easily beat downfield, has impressive closing speed, and does a great job tracking and breaking the ball to come up with pass breakups and interceptions. Harris is just as dominant against the run- he flies downhill, works through blockers, and has the pursuit skills to consistently hunt and take down the ball carrier at or behind the line of scrimmage.   Harris dominated both sides of the ball last season, ending the year with 103/169 passing attempts for 1416 yards and 15 touchdowns, rushing for 692 yards and 8 touchdowns, and racking up 49 total tackles (27 solo, 6 for loss), and one interception/4 PBUs on defense.   Harris made a big announcement last week- the talented ATH out of Mary G Montgomery will be heading down to Jacksonville State to continue his career at the next level!     [player_tooltip player_id='401115' first='Jordan' last='Holmes'] is a dynamic ATH/DB out of Pike Road who is coming off his best season yet.   At DB, Holmes showcases exceptional ball skills and the ability to cover both quick slot receivers and bigger threats on the outside. He's quick on his feet, plays with great instincts, and uses his hands to make plays on the ball.   Offensively, Holmes thrives as a rusher/receiver by using his vision and speed. He's great at following blocks, can make defenders miss, and has top-end athleticism he uses to create huge plays both on the ground and out in the secondary.     Holmes made plays all over the field last fall. He ended the year with 710 rushing yards and 9 TDs on the ground, 214 passing yards and 5 TDs through the air, and 185 yards and a TD as a receiver- AND 80 total tackles (4 for loss), 21 PBUs, 3 INTs, 2 FR, and 1 FF on defense.
