Tylen Campbell Tylen Campbell 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR Jackson | 2022 State AL | Jackson
What Campbell doesn’t have in size he more than makes up for with speed. The frame of the Jackson senior is in the 5″10, 175 lb range, but showcases more strength than the size numbers indicate. Campbell had a huge JR year with almost 50 catches for 810 yards and 11 TD’s. Easy shiftiness combined with an immediate cut make this one of the most dangerous guys in the state with the football in his hands. 40 yd times in the 4.4 to 4.5 range are dynamic and show up on film as he easily pulls away from defenders. Line him up in the slot and get the football in his hands however possible to see good things happen. Potential to be a Division 1 slot receiver with play-making ability. Campbell is a major sleeper prospect in the state.
Ryan Peppins Ryan Peppins 5'9" | 170 lbs | WR Thompson | 2022 State AL | Thompson
Instant speed with the football in his hands is present with Peppins. Sub-4.4 40 yd dash times have been recorded and are accurate. Great feet show in his route running ability which is advanced for his age. Make you miss ability is obvious both with and without the football. Good hands and good feel for the game overall. Lack of size is present and can be a concern, but that doesn’t eliminate the value he brings as a slot receiver and special teams presence. Capable of taking the ball to the house every time he touches it. Group of 5 offers are on the table and would be a great fit. Peppins will have lots of eyes on him playing for one of the best programs in the state.
Jalen McCants Jalen McCants 5'9" | 170 lbs | WR Saks | 2022 State AL | Saks
Scrappy athlete with legit production on both sides of the ball. Prototypical athletic build that suits him to play in the slot on offense or as a defensive back possibly. Tracks the ball and plays it instead of the defender. A bit unrefined as a route runner but potential to improve. Good speed and overall athletic ability. Value all across the offense. Raw talent with potential. Expect to see his name pop up out of nowhere in the summer and fall.
Tadarius Parker Tadarius Parker 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR Pleasant Grove | 2022 State AL | Munford
The length and intangibles that are needed to play the boundary receiver spot at the next level are present in Parker. Height and arm length appear on tape and help in leveraging thru one on one man to man battles, as well as high pointing of the football. Good athletic ability for his high cut frame. Not limited by athleticism. Good speed that increases the further he goes. Potential to be lethal downfield option with improved route running, which could be a staple of his game. Comes off the ball smooth and with wiggle. DB’s struggle to stay with him and typically have to “recover” late. Potential for a huge SR season and to be noticed by D1 schools.
Kristopher Agee Kristopher Agee 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR Vigor | 2022 State AL | Vigor
Potential to play all WR positions from a frame and athleticism standpoint is a great trait for Agee. Above average athletic ability and speed combine well with Agee’s knack for getting into good receiving positions. The rising senior does a great job in leveraging himself in man to man as well as jump ball situations. Decent route runner with opportunity to be stellar in that regard. Agee checks a lot of boxes as a wideout candidate and is just scratching the surface of what he can be. He has the “look” of a WR.
