One of the top young defenders in Cobb County, Ham is an active EDGE defender with impressive length, pursuit, and natural athleticism. A multi-sport standout who also shines on the basketball court, Ham more than held his own as a freshman last season on the gridiron where he made 25 tackles, three sacks and a pass deflection. His talent, size, and potential are easy to see and he has a chance to have a breakout sophomore season next fall. He’s currently ranked as the No. 2 EDGE defender and the No. 49 overall prospect in the state for the 2028 class.
