Size and potential immediately stand out with 2027 TE/DL Justin Raines. Raines has one of the more intriguing frames in Nitro’s program and brings additional athletic upside as a three-sport athlete. After sitting out last season, he’ll be a player to watch as he works his way back onto the field. His long-term future could come at tight end, along the defensive line, or even on the offensive line as he continues to develop physically. Raines remains an under-the-radar prospect with plenty of upside, and this season should provide a much better picture of where his ceiling is as a football player.

2027 TE/DL Justin Raines heads into the WV Exposure Series with one of the more eye-catching frames in attendance at 6’5 220. The Nitro prospect is also a three-sport athlete, which adds even more intrigue to the overall evaluation and athletic upside. After sitting out last season, this camp becomes a valuable opportunity for Raines to show where his game is currently and how comfortable he looks competing again.

Raines feels like a potential under-the-radar prospect who could leave a strong impression if everything starts clicking during drills and 1-on-1s.
