<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>You have to keep your eyes on the players who are coming up. There are players in this class who are on the verge of making a big name for themselves. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1647223' first='Hampton' last='Smith']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith is a gritty linebacker from Brookhaven High School. He is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound stud who loves contact. With two more seasons under his belt, Smith is on his way to being one of the most talked about prospects in his class for the state of Mississippi. His aggressive approach to the game is what is going to draw you into keeping your eyes out for his name. Smith comes up and lays wood. He is a vocal leader who loves to smile on the field. His teammates can feed off of his energy. He is simply a football player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2079668' first='Tripp' last='Smith']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another Smith in the 2028 class who is making a name for himself. He is a quarterback from Madison Central who is a 6-foot, 185-pound prospect. This kid can spin the football. Last season, he passed for over 1800 yards. Smith showed up to the Prep Redzone Combine in December ready to compete. He has a strong arm and he is accurate. Smith has a quick release and he is known to get the ball out on time. There is going to be division one programs interested in him. The ball is in his court.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Christon Glenn</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glenn is a wide receiver from Noxubee County High School (MS) who put the whole state on notice during the Super Sophomore Game. Glenn is a stud who is a 6-foot, 180-pound young man with a lot of twitch to his game. He has some incredible ball skills with very soft hands. His release from the line is very quick. Now is his time. This is going to be a big year for Glenn.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Kobe Payne</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Payne is a playmaker. There is no doubt about that. He is a 5-foot-10, 180-pound athlete from Aberdeen High School (MS). All this season, we saw him making some very dynamic plays. He is the starting quarterback from his team, but Payne may be playing a different position on the next level. The plays that you see him making on film will have you amazed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

You have to keep your eyes on the players who are coming up. There are players in this class who are on the verge of making a big name for themselves. Let's check it out.
