One of our January showcase top performers is continuing his upward trend with more offers coming in daily. Manchester star defensive back Jayden Ballard Jayden Ballard Jayden Ballard 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Manchester | 2026 State VA has offers from Fordham, Monmouth and Old Dominion. Like a number of of top prospects Ballard does not just star for the Lancer football team, he performs at a high level in the long and triple jump for the track team as well. 3.5 GPA and upwards trajectory are many of the reasons why you should expect to see him at the Division 1 level very soon.

After a great talk over the phone with @Coach_DiRienzo, I am extremely blessed to receive my 6th Division 1 offer to Monmouth University! @Coach_KCal @Lancer_Recruit @Manchester_FB @WillVapreps @RivalsFriedman @CRF4Dan @carljfred @BrianDohn247 @VaPrepsRivals pic.twitter.com/ENZdzp631T
