. McKinney is a guy who can come off the edge, defensive line and possibly even the outside linebacker position. Either or, he’s on his way to becoming a household name in the state and this is the breakout year for him I believe. He’s a hard worker and coaches really believe in him. Lookout for McKinney during this off-season but also this fall!

is another one I have covered for some time now and he has the makeup to be one of the if not the best defensive linemen in the state of Georgia. He’s already clearly one of the best in the 2029 class and he has the ability to be dominant. He plays physical, dominant and fast. He is a smart player and will be making some noise this year for the Wolves.

is another player for the 2029 Wolves who can really see some time on the varsity scale due to his powerful ability to make tackles and be a run stopper. He’s also a tremendous pass rusher for his size and can step on the offensive line if need be and make some things happen there as well. Look out for him this spring.

is a stud defensive lineman who will likely see some playing time early in his high school career especially if he continues to develop. His ability and IQ is ahead of his time and he is a guy who can flat out ball out on the defensive line!

Speaking with some staff about McKinney, they are high on his future and seeing him up close in action on the gridiron, it only makes sense why they would be. His game is a dominant and aggressive run stopper style on top of being able to bulldoze his way into the backfield. He is one to look for.

is a guy who caught my eye a few times watching the Rome Wolves and he has a sound style of play when playing at the defensive line position. He has a great first step and once he locks up with the ball carrier, he’s got you going to the ground before you know it. McKinney is a huge piece to this Wolves defensive unit.

A huge impact made at the defensive line spot for McKinney who was able to make stops all over the field helping his team win the title. McKinney is a guy who helped lead a defensive who went the entire season up until the final game of the regular season to be scored on. The magician at the defensive line position is a big reason for the succuss and he certainly earned his title this weekend by making plays and being disruptive on defense.

Super quick on the defensive line and a physical tackler at the point of contact. McKinney is a guy who stars on both offensive and defensive lines and is a force anytime he’s on the field. He is hard to block because he shows to be really good with his hands fighting off the block. Damien is a smart player who not only makes physical plays but plays with his mind also. McKinney proves to be an all-around type of football player and he’s one to focus on in the 2029 class.
