Senior Spotlight: 2026's Raising College Stock

Here are some seniors in Georgia who are raising their recruiting stock with their play this fall.    [player_tooltip player_id='401496' first='Dylan' last='Green']'s emergence this year might be to the surprise of everyone else, but not to me. I was really impressed with Green last fall. He was a tall, fast, rangy, and extremely smooth DB prospect who later added an offer from Wazzu. What is surprising to me is the position he has exploded at. Green has proved the entire year that he is capable of being an X WR at the college level. Size, speed, the ability to threaten the middle of the field, he has it all. Green might be the biggest national sleeper in Georgia. I expect him to land at the FBS level, where he has the tools to lead a team, and maybe even a conference, in receiving.     Justin Beasley has been on my radar for a few years now, but it's his emergence as a senior that is generating the most buzz as his HS career winds down. Beasley threatens each level of the field. He is an obvious slot, YAC projection given his size, ability to shake defenders, and breakaway speed. However, he frequently makes plays well beyond the line of scrimmage. He has the speed to eliminate cushion and is able to sink his hips at the top of his route. Beasley is an absolute burner and a TD threat from any spot on the field.     Here is my recent write-up on Cummings, one of the most productive RBs in the state this fall:   "Cummings' 615-yard performance a few weeks ago shattered records and put him firmly on the P4 recruiting scene. He is committed to Georgia Southern and generated buzz long before his outing. Cummings is a compact, speedy back with a 10.86 100M PR. He is a north/south, one-cut runner with enough twitch to create yards. When given a lane to run, he has the breakaway speed to lift off and separate. I said this offseason that Cummings being committed to Georgia Southern was a massive steal, and I still believe that if they can hold on."   Cummings has since visited major P4 schools.     [player_tooltip player_id='1866691' first='Ty' last='Kemp'] is one pillar of a potent North Hall offense and is starting to generate some buzz on the recruiting scene. Kemp is a stout, strong 5'9 165 with good spatial awareness and the impressive trait at his size to make grabs in a crowd. He just picked up an offer last week from Berry, where he has the speed and athleticism to hold his own at that level.     I highlighted Kayson Simmons back in September as one of the more underrated senior defenders in the Atlanta area. I still believe that. Here is a snippet of that write-up:   "Kayson Simmons is the most productive defender on the Cherokee defense and screams D1 LB prospect on tape. Simmons is long, well-built, and versatile enough to stand up and rush off the edge. Simmons is physical, greeting blockers with violence and pop in his pads. Every rep ends in violent contact, helping Simmons make the most of his traits. He is shockingly underrated and a clear D1 LB prospect."     Hill hasn't received major recruiting buzz up to this point, but he is an engine offensively for Cartersville and is a crafty playmaker. Hill is a fast, quick, twitchy RB who can create his own yards, re-direct the play, and separate from the defense in the open field. Hill projects as a speedy scat-back who can generate an explosive play from any spot on the field. He recently added an offer from Reinhardt.     Rocco Xerogeanes came out of nowhere to receive a Georgia Tech offer and P4 attention as a senior. He is a bit of a positionless traits-eval at this point. He plays on both lines of scrimmage, but projects out as a TE. He is long, athletic, and has plenty of room for physical growth. He will need some seasoning, but you certainly see the vision if he can grow and make the most out of his gifts.
