He's flashed that high-level potential in his freshman season for the Cougars and should develop into a future D1 prospect by his senior year. At 6'4 195, Musgrove already looks the part of a future top prospect in this class, especially as his body further develops. His athleticism jumps off his film at both receiver and as an EDGE rusher with impressive quick twitch and explosiveness for a young player his size. Musgrove is a must-know in the 2029 class and will be a future top-ranked athlete in our rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/musgrove_tramel/status/1977146267999625515","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/musgrove_tramel/status/1977146267999625515 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1716459"],"_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-68f00ff190d05"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Capital has several 2029 prospects who colleges are going to want to know, with the next being TE/DL [player_tooltip player_id='1716459' first='Camden' last='Bulger']. He's another young athlete in the Cougars' program with great early size that will translate well down the road as he develops. Bulger has JV and varsity experience so far this season and will be a future full-time standout on Friday nights sooner rather than later. He has a basketball background that will aid his football progression and has a high ceiling at tight end if he steadily progresses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/27917886/68d2b8f40f095676568f7a19' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f165d9eb4c5"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679048"],"_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-68f00ff190d8d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The third promising 2029 Capital prospect on their varsity squad this season to know is OL/DL [player_tooltip player_id='1679048' first='Zion' last='Pitts']. Size is the first trait that jumps out to you when watching his film with an impressive 5'11 290 frame as a freshman. He's a space eater in the middle of their defensive line and will continue to improve his game as he fine-tunes his technique and gets more comfortable in his body. Starting at nose tackle as a freshman speaks to Pitts' early ability and promise as a prospect as a must-know DL prospect in the 2029 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/28299156/68e49ba52753ce21cec1bcab' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f165d9eb539"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1716506"],"_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-68f00ff190ec7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Elkins coaches are very excited about the future potential of 2029 RB/LB [player_tooltip player_id='1716506' first='Caleb' last='Robinson'] after a prolific middle school career. He'll need to wait his turn at running back for the Tigers, with their three-headed monster rushing attack, helped by his older brother Seth, but Seth is making an impact on defense this season at linebacker. Robinson's role will increase year over year, but the early signs are there that he'll develop into a future star. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/26364274/68c793c32a48f2dfd6d730c7' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f165d9eb58d"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1743470"],"_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-68f15f0dd0c5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">2029 Robert C. Byrd DL Isaac Elliott is doing a great job for the Eagles as a freshman as an interior defensive lineman. He'll be a DL prospect in this class to keep close tabs on moving forward with the potential and upside that he's showing early in his career. Elliott's 6'2 275 frame as a freshman catches your attention quickly, and he's also shown the ability on the field as a young player. He's a handful for opposing offensive linemen with a quick first step and power for his age. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/21445862/68c43ffc82621b48608b613b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f165d9eb5ee"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1743469"],"_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-68f15f0dd0ca6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A second 2029 Robert C. Byrd prospect with a high ceiling is WR [player_tooltip player_id='1743469' first='Elijah' last='Holmes']. He's earned a role on the varsity team as a freshman and has made some plays in his first season of high school. Holmes has future playmaker potential in their passing offense with this speed and quickness that he's shown early on. He's an explosive athlete who can stick his foot in the ground and get vertical in a hurry, which he's shown on sweeps. Holmes also has the potential to develop into a future deep threat out of the slot for the Eagles with the gifted athleticism that he possesses. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/26461042/68f05d75f35d7a478c4b07f2' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68f165d9eb62a"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
