&nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="290494" first="TJ" last="Metcalf"]-DB</strong> |6’1 180| |Pinson Valley|  <em>@tjmetcalf3 on Twitter</em></span> [player_tooltip player_id="290494" first="TJ" last="Metcalf"] has been quickly developing into a star safety for the already very talented Pinson Valley defense, and programs have been taking notice. Metcalf thrives off of his hybrid playstyle and athleticism, he has terrific speed, hands, strength and coverage ability that have allowed him to excel against both the pass and run. Statistically speaking, Metcalf’s dominance on the field can be seen pretty easily with his 115 total tackles, 4 interceptions, 8 pass breakups, and 2 forced fumbles/recoveries. In the recruiting world, Metcalf’s name has been rising super fast within the last month. In just the last two weeks Metcalf has received offers from Power 5 programs all across the nation like Miami, Arkansas, Michigan, Maryland, Indiana, and many more. At the rate he has been receiving attention, expect to see Metcalf’s stock rise even more as his senior season approaches and occurs. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="290492" first="Josh" last="Palmer"]-ATH </strong>|6’5 215| |Autauga Academy| <em>@JoshPalmer_1 on Twitter</em></span> [player_tooltip player_id="290492" first="Josh" last="Palmer"] is a really unique and talented athlete that has recently been catching the eyes of a lot of schools this month.   As previously mentioned, Palmer is a very unique prospect, it's rare you find a player that even plays both tight end/wide receiver and outside linebacker, and he manages to do so very well. Palmer is massive and has a ton of speed, which he uses to his advantage greatly on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Palmer is a super reliable target and receiving option, overpowering and outrunning secondary members with ease. Defensively, Palmer is able to fly around the field and bring a ton of punishing tackles and hits to the ball carrier. With that kind of versatility, Autauga Academy has benefited a ton, and many programs at the next level are looking for him to bring his talents to them.  Palmer is having a great month on the recruiting trail, receiving well over a dozen offers from schools the likes of<span style="font-size: 1rem;"> South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Nebraska, and many more recently.</span> &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="131890" first="Avery" last="Stuart"]-ATH</strong> |6’2 180| |Alabama Christian Academy| <em>@avery8stuart on Twitter</em></span> [player_tooltip player_id="131890" first="Avery" last="Stuart"] has had an insane last couple of months when it has come to recruiting, and that definitely has not ceased here in February. Stuart is an insanely hyper-athletic prospect that has equally found success on both offense and defense, playing wide receiver and cornerback extremely well. Physically, Stuart has all the tools to be terrific. His height, weight, speed, and quickness are as ideal as can be for both positions he plays, and it shows on film. On offense, Stuart’s route running/ability to adjust to the ball are outstanding, he consistently wins one on one matchups and makes a variety of tough catches. Defensively, Stuart is fantastic in coverage, he rarely if ever gets burnt or allows any catches. In February, Stuart has so far received offers from some great programs like Oklahoma, Mississippi State, Arkansas, and with how Stuart’s year has gone so far recruiting-wise, expect to see a great deal of more attention head his way. &nbsp; <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id="131896" first="Ty’quarius" last="Perry"]-DL </strong>|6’3 275| |Jackson-Olin| <em>@Tyquarius_P on Twitter</em></span> [player_tooltip player_id="131896" first="Ty’quarius" last="Perry"] is a super talented member of Jackson-Olin’s already great defensive line and is finally getting the attention his play deserves. Perry is a really gifted defensive lineman that has the ability to play both the interior and off the edge and does so very well. Perry has a great burst off of the line of scrimmage, power, and quick hands that have allowed him to make offensive linemen look plain silly. Perry’s motor and aggressive playstyle show out on film as well, he will do anything required when he’s on the field, often you can watch him consistently not give up on pursuing the ball carrier. Perry has a fantastic foundation to build on, he’s only going to continue to progress and get even better.  Recently, Perry has received offers from UAB, Troy, and Southern Miss, and as he heads into his senior season expect to see more head his way!
