<p>Calhoun brings a physical, versatile skill set that Coach Thomas can plug in all over the field. He runs with power and purpose, unafraid to take on contact, and also shows flashes of range and toughness at linebacker. Expect him to be used creatively this fall on both sides of the ball.</p>

<p>Weir is flat-out dangerous. He's explosive with the ball in his hands and showed the vision to create big plays in the open field. Add in the effort and toughness he brings every rep, and you've got a true weapon who can wear multiple hats on offense.</p>

<p><strong>Camden Hall | RB | 2026 | @CamdenHall26</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Quick-twitch runner who brings balance and burst. Hall hits holes with urgency and has the shiftiness to create missed tackles. He's also reliable in the passing game, flashing soft hands out of the backfield. A change-of-pace back with starting upside.</p>

<p><strong>Messiah Borders | ATH | 2027 | @Messiah2borders</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Borders is finally back in action after dealing with injuries, and the flashes are encouraging. He's fluid in movement, and brings the type of energy that programs can feed off. Once fully ramped up, his versatility could make him a weekly playmaker.</p>

<p><strong>Paul Wright | LB | 2027 | @PAULWRIGHT___</strong></p>

<p>Wright is stepping into a production role. He diagnoses plays quickly, gets downhill in a hurry, and consistently finishes through contact. He brings vocal energy to the defense and looks like a foundational piece for the future.</p>

<p>One of the more dependable tacklers on this Lake Region program, Ponce stands out with his grit and motor. He plays square, wraps up clean, and doesn't shy away from physicality. As he grows into his frame, he could become a staple in the linebacker corps.</p>

<p><strong>Christopher Garcia | ATH | 2027 | @ChrisGarcia2027</strong></p>

<p>Garcia has steadily improved his game. He brings pressure off the edge, and can track down players in space. His relentless motor and willingness to do the dirty work give him a shot at meaningful playing time this fall.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1727718' first='Jarus' last='Simmons'] | DB | 2026 | @Jarussimmons</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Simmons has a solid frame and moves well in space. He's shown flashes in both man and zone coverage, and with continued growth in his fundamentals, he could carve out a bigger role this fall.</p>
