<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2029 class had some studs in there who got some varsity time with their teams this season. These players who we have listed in the top five are going to be names you here around this state for the next three years. Mississippi is known to produce dogs who show it early. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1598605' first='Derrick' last='Hooker, Jr.']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hooker is a 6-foot-5, 280-pound edge player from Grenada who is already picking up power four offers. He comes from a program that currently has four guys playing professional football. That is a big deal for programs in Mississippi. Yes, Hooker has a long way to go, but at this moment, we feel like he is the standout prospect for his class. We think that his build and athleticism is going to place him at the offensive tackle position on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2090775' first='Keon' last='McNeil']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McNeil really stepped up big for his team this year. He is a player from Gautier who is a beast on the field. He threw for over 2000 yards this season and he had over 20 passing touchdowns. There is no way we are going to deny that he was one of the best freshmen in the state this season. We are hoping that we are going to be able to see him more on the camp circuit. He has the potential to be a quarterback on the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2088205' first='James' last='Williams']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Man, I am excited to write about [player_tooltip player_id='2088205' first='James' last='Williams']. This young brother is electrifying on the football field. He is a running back from Mississippi who is going to start seeing some offers coming his way at a young age. You can look at his film and see that he has some real speed. Williams is a South Panola High School prospect who has a lot of talent. Williams is able to hit the hole hard with good vision. He has good balance when he is bouncing off of tackles. He is a division one prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1346485' first='Antonio' last='Vasser Jr']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vasser is a football player who fans come to games to see. His coaches know that they can count on him to produce. Vasser managed to accumulate over 1000-all-purpose yards this season. He is a shifty player from Aberdeen who has been known to make people miss. Opponents know that they will have to find him when he is sneaking out of the backfield for a pass. You can expect to hear his name a lot over the next three years. He is a good one in this class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1589449' first='Matthew' last='Fletcher']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fletcher is a player who is going to be a stud next season. He attended one of our Prep Redzone Combines in Jackson, MS. Fletcher is very long and has good speed. His broad jump was almost ten feet. He plays for Central Hinds Academy. Fletcher was also out there showing that he can catch the football. We were very impressed with him when he came to our combine. He also passes the eye test.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

The 2029 class had some studs in there who got some varsity time with their teams this season. These players who we have listed in the top five are going to be names you here around this state for the next three years. Mississippi is known to produce dogs who show it early. Let's check it out.
