Going into this season, Levi Duru was an unknown. He played in a spring game for North Paulding, then transferred over to Kell during the summer, where he played against one of Cobb County’s top schools, McEachern. Duru was thrown into the fire, but after a couple of games, the 2027 6’4″, 230-lb. TE prospect
Senior Mincey Cuts Up Defenses
Heading into this season, Mincey was ready to make a name for himself. The senior back split carries behind All-State running back Justin Powell for Toombs County in 2025 and was biting at the opportunity to get the lion’s share of the carries. “The start of my senior season has been great, and a fun
Thomasville’s Big Play Hayes
Thomasville’s Christian Hayes is adaptable. Last season, he was primarily a defensive back, but now, in 2026, Hayes is the starting QB for the Bulldogs. The unrecognizable role shift, which has upended our Preseason All-State DB selection, had the largest impact in Week 2. Hayes rushed for 221 yards and four touchdowns while going 7
North Forsyth’s Cahill Makes Plays
Over the last few years, we’ve seen Ethan Cahill make some electric plays. The consistent senior receiver has great hands, making some extremely tough catches with defenders over the top, but it was last week’s game against Archer where his dexterous digits were on display. Archer was lined up for a 37-yard field goal kick.
Moore Maximizes Senior Season
Hillgrove’s Jaiden Moore is on a mission this season. After a junior campaign where he rushed for 1407 yards, averaged 9.2 yards per carry, and scored 13 touchdowns, the 2027 back has bigger plans this fall. In Week 1, Moore rushed for 106 yards on 9 carries in a 27-21 win over Collins Hill, a
Berry’s Fruitful Senior Season
Camauri Berry is a 2027 running back out of Spalding looking to make a statement, and he is off to a great start. In Week 1, Berry ran for 167 rushing yards on 11 carries and two touchdowns in a 27-19 win over ELCA. The terrific night was capped off by a 45-yard touchdown run
Menzie Makes the Most With Every Opportunity
Around a year ago, Caeylin Menzie earned his first college offer, and from that moment, the class of ’27 athlete has experienced a lot of trials and tribulations. Menzie was motivated heading into fall camp to win the #1 RB spot at 4A private school powerhouse Benedictine, but unfortunately, Menzie suffered a broken arm in
Green Cashing In This Offseason
Douglass JR two-way player Zalen Green is a prospect ready to explode onto the recruiting scene. This track season, each week Green has been improving, posting top times of 10.59 and 10.61, and today, Green ran a state-best 10.31 100m time. Of course, Green is not just a track star, although we have been watching
Doe-Davis Does It All
Finishing the 2025 season 9-3, Effingham County emerged into the top tier of 5A programs, and a major contributor was junior running back Jmere Doe-Davis. The 2027 back averaged 102.3 yards per game, 8.6 yards per carry, and rushed for 1023 yards on the year. Doe-Davis finished the year strong with a season-high 209-yard

Silver Shines for Columbia
Columbia’s Rashaad Silver celebrated a great 2025 season, earning Region Player of the Year, All-State, and All-County. That trio of accolades many in the state dream about, and the junior now places those in a trophy case that is quickly becoming crowded. With the offseason well underway, we caught up with Silver, who has earned
Terrell Terrorizes Opposing Offenses
Last season, Class 4A was loaded with elite defensive talent like North Oconee’s Khamari Brooks and Benedictine’s Ladamion Guyton, both seniors who were considered among the best edge rushers in the country, but in our opinion, the most dominant defender in 4A was Creekside JR Tavarre Terrell. Not sure if that’s a mic drop, or
Duru a Dominating Defender
Whitewater’s David Duru is an explosive three-year starting linebacker who has built an impressive resume. During his junior season, the 6’1″ 220 lbs. athlete had 74 tackles on the year while causing two fumbles and also rushing for 510 yards and 11 touchdowns. With the offseason well underway, Duru has shifted gears, balancing his multi-sport
Linder Lining Up Offers
Since the start of the year, Whitefield Academy’s 2027 TE Luke Linder has seen his recruitment take off. Kennesaw State got the party started in late January, and afterwards, Troy, Georgia Southern, Liberty, Georgia State, ECU, and Coastal Carolina have jumped into the picture. The 6’3″, 215 lbs. pass-catcher talked about the early college interest
Little Has Big Plans in 2026
Towards the back half of last season, Le’Gracion Little really broke out as an emerging 2027 wide receiver prospect. He had an explosive game against Winder-Barrow, where the speedy 2027 receiver caught 8 passes for 260 yards and 4 touchdowns in one half of football. That performance immediately put Little on our radar. A week
Reese Faster than Grease Lightening
Throughout the 2025 season, Mondarius Reese showed flashes of brilliance at KIPP Academy. With 210 yards receiving and an impressive 21-yard per catch average, Reese’s electric track speed creates potent matchups while also showcasing immense potential as a defensive back. With the spring semester well underway, Reese is now at Douglas County. He talked about
Middleton Excels During JR Season
Among the tackle leaders in the state of Georgia is Cooper Middleton. The explosive, high-motor defender out of Christian Heritage had 143 tackles on the year, which ranks him 5 in Georgia and 100 solo tackles, which is first. No matter what, Middleton is always after the football, and in Week 12, he once again
Mays Hunter is a Ballhawk
During Week 11, there were a lot of great plays across the state of Georgia, but among the best was Mays junior Gerald Hunter’s interception returned for a touchdown in a 59-40 win against Midtown. The explosive defensive back read the play perfectly, jumping the route and immediately turning himself into a returner. He
Lowndes Woods Keeps On Chopping
Mason Woods has been a difference-maker for #5 Lowndes this season. They are undefeated, playing incredible football, running the gauntlet through arguably the toughest football region in the country, and that all culminates towards tonight’s Winnersville Classic against Valdosta. The emerging junior back has produced at a high level with 1137 rushing yards and 14
Levstek Levels Defenders
Over the last year, Mt. Paran JR offensive lineman Carter Levstek has made some tremendous strides. The most obvious improvement? The heavy 6’5″ 300 lbs. blocker is more physical at the point attack, and that is creating impactful pancake blocks like in last week’s 31-0 win over BEST Academy. For his efforts, Levstek was
Culpepper’s Recruitment Heating Up
Troup County JR Jeremiah Culpepper has stepped into his junior year looking to make a difference. The 6’1″ athlete has around 50 tackles on the year, 11 tackles for a loss, and 8 sacks, along with a defensive touchdown. The ladder defensive score happened last week, where a poor snap sent the pigskin spurting backwards.
Parker Tickets Defenders
Domenic Parker has been a force for Marist this season. The 2027 offensive guard had 20 pancakes on the year, and several more impactful blocks that led to big plays. The offensive line unit has given up just two sacks on the year, and it’s the physicality at the point of attack that makes them
Clutch Play from Clinch’s Causey & Posley
The top matchup for Week 9 in Class A DII was Clinch County vs Brooks County. The top-ranked programs first met in 1959, and starting in 2012, the rivalry game has been an annual matchup. Brooks County has won 9 of the last 12 games, but this season, the undefeated Clinch County had different plans.
Christian Heritage’s Standout Stanley
Christian Heritage’s experienced JR John Stanley has looked impressive this season, impacting the game all over the field. The 6’3″, 240 lbs. athlete is a standout in the trenches where his versatility impacts both sides of the ball, but also at special teams as a long snapper.
