He's big, tough, plays with good leverage, and played consistent football against quality defenses all year long. Whether he was opening running lanes or protecting the quarterback, this Moultrie native proved that he's one of the top offensive tackle prospects in the area. His stock is on the rise, and he'll be an easy addition to the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["571882"],"_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-6978cb208b36c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A consistent weapon throughout the season last year for the Troup Tigers, Moncus' speed and ability to stretch the field was on full display as a junior last season. He shows a strong release off the line and has enough speed to fly past defenders down the field. He showed he's one of the top 2027 receivers in West Georgia last year as he hauled in 34 passes for 406 yards and nine touchdowns. He's a major weapon in the vertical passing game who shows the ability to make defenders miss in the open field. His best football is on the way, and offers will likely roll in more and more this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2113879"],"_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-6978cb208b3c1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrated pass-rushers and overall outside linebackers across the state, Thornton didn't play like your typical junior last season for Cairo. The small-town defender explodes off the snap and knows how to hunt down the quarterback in the backfield. He already looks like a Power Four player at 6-foot-5 200-pounds who should continue to put on more weight and muscle over time. He's coming off an outstanding junior season where he tackles everything in sight, securing 91 tackles, 20 TFLs and eight sacks. His recruitment will take off soon and he's likely bound for an even bigger season as a senior in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["810115"],"_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-6978cb208b412"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A max-effort, slippery linebacker who can be really tough to block, Robinson plays fast, knows how to tackle, and is fresh off an impressive junior season where consistently found his way to the ball-carrier. He shows instincts, toughness, and was one of the team's leading defenders last year. He's a natural run defender with good size at 6-foot-1 195-pounds who will only get better and better over the next two seasons. Look for Robinson to light up the stat sheet for the Bears as a senior in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2048659"],"_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-6978cb208b461"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Down in Miller County is where you'll find a big, physical two-way player who can truck defenders at running back while striking fear into opposing ball-carriers on defense. He brings a muscular 6-foot-2 220-pound frame who can power through defenders with ease. He runs with a purpose and knows how break tackles consistently after first contact. He's tough to tackle and was one of the top running backs in the area this fall as a junior. His size, toughness, versatility, and potential have allowed him to see his recruitment take off this winter. He's bound for a giant senior season on both sides of the ball next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
