Austin Butler’s Spring Tour: Spring Jamboree Standout Prospects

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Only something you'll get in the state of Georgia is a spring jamboree. So, you are getting Friday night lights in the spring! Georgia is literally football year around and that is what you are getting! Here on my spring tour, there are four teams (Kell, Marietta, Peachtree Ridge and Kennesaw Mountain) I will cover all at once and many of the players competing in it. This is a very unique situation on a spring tour but it's about to go down so check out who stood out during this Spring Jamboree held at Kell High School!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1317769"],"_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-69fe6c17f004e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Just a 2029 back out of Kell and really showcased a great deal of poise and patience coming out of the backfield. His agility looks great; he looks to be a mature runner and someone who is really going to be able to take the load for the Longhorns in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1289645"],"_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-69fe6c17f0109"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1289645' first='Ashton' last='Lumpkin'] looks excellent throwing the ball and making the plays needed early on for it to be a scrimmage.

Miller is one smart signal caller as well and he is going to have a wonderful 2026 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
