Craig is a name generating serious buzz after a strong showing on the camp circuit this offseason. A polished signal caller with the tools to command an offense, Craig has all the intangibles you want in a leader. Now transferring to Timnath, he steps into a prime opportunity to take over the reins and elevate the program's passing game. With poise in the pocket, good mechanics, and solid decision making, he's poised to make a statement this fall. Craig has steadily climbed onto the radar and should continue to rise if he builds on his momentum. Expect him to be a name to know in 2027 with a breakout year.     At 6'4 and 200 pounds, Smyth has the physical frame and raw tools that scream next level potential. He was impressive on the camp circuit and showcased a live arm that can stretch defenses. After transferring to ThunderRidge, Smyth steps into a crucial leadership role for a program eager to bounce back from a winless season. His presence in the huddle, combined with his arm strength and competitive drive, gives the team a new energy. Smyth has the upside to become one of the top quarterbacks in the 2027 class if he delivers early and often this fall.     Crisler has used 7v7 and summer camps to boost his stock, and it's paying off. A dynamic receiver with excellent speed and route running ability, Crisler creates separation with ease and has the hands to make plays in traffic. This offseason, he made his case as a breakout candidate and looks ready to take on a larger offensive role this year. He's proven to be a reliable target and has a knack for finding soft spots in coverage. With more targets coming his way this fall, Crisler is primed to emerge as one of the most productive receivers in the 2027 class.     Hughes is entering this season with something to prove and he's bringing the motor to match. A standout in 7v7 and on the camp circuit, Hughes has refined his technique and shows explosive get off coming off of the edge. He brings versatility as a linebacker who can rush, cover, and fly to the ball with urgency. Last season left him hungry for more and he's been vocal about stepping up and setting the tone. With improved confidence and a relentless motor, Hughes is a name to circle as a potential breakout defender in the 2027 class.     Hershfeldt stole the spotlight at the PrepRedzone Combine Series by earning WR MVP honors, and it's clear why. A true all-purpose threat, Hershfeldt racked up over 450 receiving yards and 200 rushing yards last season, highlighted by explosive 60+ yard plays. His top end speed and quick twitch athleticism make him a dangerous open field weapon. He's the kind of player who can flip the momentum on a single touch. With more exposure and another strong offseason, he could cement himself as one of the state's most exciting prospects. If he hits the circuit again next year, expect his stock to skyrocket.
