When getting out of his stance, he snaps to the ball and is very physical when attacking an opposing lineman. Jackson’s ability to collapse pockets is elite, and he can dominate a game with his consistent presence on QBs. He can win with bull rushes, speed to power rushes, or simply throwing the blocker out of his way, which makes him a matchup nightmare and almost impossible to be blocked in 1v1 situations at this level. In addition, he shows excellent agility for his size when jumping gaps, splitting double teams, and closing in on ball carriers in the backfield. https://twitter.com/BuggieJaeden/status/1473361540908736517?s=20&t=SEe5wz4_C_7FzqjrSme0Jg [player_tooltip player_id="248195" first="Tristan" last="Graham"] 6’1 WR/ATH Grissom 2023 Graham is a dynamic athlete whose versatile skillset and speed allow him to be moved across the field and used in various ways. As a receiver, he excels in open space where he can make guys miss with elusiveness, outstanding acceleration, and pure speed. When lined up like X, he’s shown the ability to make contested catches with excellent hand-eye coordination and concentration. At Quarterback, he has solid mechanics and can be accurate in the short and intermediate areas of the field, which makes him a genuine threat as a passer and forces the defense to account for that whenever he lines up as a QB. https://twitter.com/tgraham1_/status/1496887876306583552?s=20&t=SEe5wz4_C_7FzqjrSme0Jg [player_tooltip player_id="286150" first="Calvin" last="Hughley"] 5’8 193 RB Opelika 2025 Hughley is a sturdy running back that grinds out yards. His low center of gravity allows him to run with solid pad level and gives him momentum when engaging with tacklers. This, alongside his elite lower body strength, makes him a constant threat to gain yards after contact, push through arm tackles, and push piles forward. In addition, he displays solid vision and lateral quickness when finding holes in the backfield and excels at being a one-cut back that can take on a heavy workload throughout the game with consistent gains. I’Leek Quinn 6’2 170 Lakeside 2024 Quinn is a receiver oozing with potential. At 6’2, he has a sub 4.50 forty time, so as he grows into his body, he’ll only get bigger, stronger, and faster once it’s time to pick where he’ll want to continue his football career. As of now, though, Quinn displays a solid catch radius and ability to adjust to the ball and make difficult catches. In addition, he moves smoothly as a route runner and shows excellent acceleration when getting to the top of the route. Christopher Riley 5’10 QB 150 Oak Grove 2023 Harmon is a quarterback that thrives on improvisation and can sustain his poise during the chaos. As a shifty, quick-twitch style scrambler, Harmon uses his legs to extend plays, buy time, and make plays for himself and others. He has solid pocket awareness and feet. He knows how to move subtly to get off his release. He shows running back like instinct when cutting back and reading rushing lanes as a runner.
