Jaylan Ash is another rare breed, a high-caliber athlete that people need to know about. Coming out of The Boot, Jaylan measures to be around 5’11 and 140 pounds. Jaylan is a dual sport athlete that has proven explosion with his ability to touch the rim from his height on the basketball court. On the football field, Jaylan is one of the smoothest runners that I have seen at the receiver position and seems to emulate his game to the liking of NFL star DeVonta Smith. Ash is truly a big play machine on either side of the ball. It will be interesting to see how Jaylan develops between the two positions. No matter what side of the ball he ends up on, Jaylan is going to destroy the competition. I am expecting big things to come from Jaylan in the future.

Year in and year out, Archbishop Rummel out of Louisiana turns out next-level prospects. For proof of that, look no further than reigning NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, Ja’Marr Chase who dawned the Raiders colors from 2015-2018. While I’m not ready to announce Ash as the next Ja’Marr Chase, the 2027 prospect does look a dang good prospect. At 5-foot-11 and 130-pounds (he looks heavier than that to me) Ash physically looks like he could be something special. He has legs for days and arms that are nearly as long. He can play multiple positions including Wide Receiver and Running Back if asked to, but what he can do as a long Corner or a Free Safety, is what has me fired up. His length completely engulfs Wide Outs at this point and he has the speed to run stride for stride with the best of them. Having watched them both in middle school, Ash looks exactly like how current Alabama Defensive Back Eli Ricks looked, when he was in eighth-grade. Stay tuned.
