Trench Talk Thursdays

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We love to talk about the guys in the trenches. Today we want to touch on some guys from Mississippi. There are some 6-foot-5 players that need some attention. If they haven't any offers they will be coming soon. Let's check it out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='653094' first='Quintavis' last='Taylor'], OL/DL, Northside, 2025</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor has some very good movements in the trenches. His footwork is very nice. He takes the right steps that put him in the position to make good plays. He is a very strong lineman that gets a good drive from his release. Davis also is nice on defense. I think he has a chance to be a guard on the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='953333' first='Mitchell' last='Smith'], OL, Picayune, 2026</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Smith received his first offer from Arkansas yesterday. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound freshman is already making a name for himself. The young man moves very well in the trenches. He has a nice kick step when it is time for his team to pass the ball. He does great when it time to get a bump on a defensive lineman before head hunting a linebacker. Smith is going to be a real big name in the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Joshua Davis, OL, Adams County Christian, 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Davis is a guy that goes both ways. He has some very natural abilities at the position. Davis knows how snap the football and quickly get to the next level. He has the size to hold his ground. He doesn't give up much space for a DL to defeat him. I'll be sure to keep up with him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='430698' first='Kaleb' last='Bailey'], OL, Adams County Christian, 2024</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bailey is a nice complement to his teammates. Bailey is a lot to handle in the trenches. I think he has a great chance to be a tackle on the next level. Bailey does a good job of moving his feet in the trenches. He is a big guy that makes sure he moves around. He isn't stiff. I think that Bailey has the potential to be a division one player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
