<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Each month, we need to take the time to see how some things have been going in recruitment for some prospects. This week, we want to get into some new players and some players you may know who need to be talked about more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2053911' first='Kross' last='Avent']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Avent is one of those kids who is a warrior. He is a quarterback from East Webster High School (MS) who won a state championship with his team last season. This kid loves to be in tough situations. He is going to thrive when he has his back against the wall. Colleges have not started offering him yet, but he has been on some good visits. This kid is going to be a star in his class. Expect for him to be a player who starts picking up offers. He is a 2028 prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Jordyn Hernandez</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hernandez is a player from Gulfport who is a stud on the field. He is already picking up division one offers. His style of play is going to show fans that he is an aggressive player who knows how to shed blocks and get to ball carriers. It will not take long for kids like him to start showing more college coaches that he is a player they should know. He is going to always be mentioned with the top players in the 2029 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Trey Ellis</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ellis is a stud from McComb who holds an offer from Mississippi State. He is in the 2029 class. He was a contributor to his varsity squad last season. College coaches can already see that he is a player they are going to want to keep up with. Notice that he played last season like he was an upperclassman. When he hits the field, he means business. That is going to help him continue to attract colleges to his name. Everybody loves a hardnosed player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2090771' first='James' last='Williams III']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is a running back from South Panola High School who is in the 2029 class. Last season, he showed everybody that he does not toting the rock. It is not easy being a young running back in 6A football in Mississippi. There is a lot of size in that classification. Most of the players in this classification are going to be older guys with experience. It did not take Williams long to adjust to his surroundings. He is a power four prospects who fans should know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Each month, we need to take the time to see how some things have been going in recruitment for some prospects. This week, we want to get into some new players and some players you may know who need to be talked about more.
