Notes: Several prospects listed above already sport offers but have yet to really break out into the recruiting world. Richesson is the biggest name listed having offers from Michigan St., Cincinnati, App State and others. Shoaf and Baker are two sure handed wideouts that bring size, speed and excellent route running to the football field. Whitsett is an intriguing talent that can play both ways; He is raw but sports great upside and work ehtic. Poe is a mauler up front that is on the verge of adding tons of offers; Gordon and Meadows are two under the radar talents that when seen by coaches in person, I believe will not only stand out but become actively recruited prospects.

Notes: The collection of defensive players listed here are some talented, high upside guys that could possibly become household names by the end of the summer. Ball is a star in the making. He is an athletic edge rusher that screams upside and coaches will love working with him at their camps. Plunkett and Keen are two active pass rushers that have the size and traits to play with their hand in the dirt or stand up at linebacker. Barham, Jr is an offered guy but to me he is a Power Five just waiting on those offers. Brewer is one of the fastest linebackers in this state that could be one of the biggest breakout camp stars of all. Reed II, McGhee, Ford, Pierce, Lang and Bradley are all Division 1 talents; These six defensive backs are some of the more talented football prospects we have in-state for the ‘22 class. Dailey is a two way talent with great size and the versatility to excel on either side of the ball. Williams is a name many may not know about now but soon that will change, especially when he hits college camps and coaches see his length, big radius and untapped potential.
