Continue ReadingThe Future Stars Game features many of the nation’s top talent. The 2022 version of this game features athletes in the 8th grade (2026), 7th grade (2027) and 6th grade (class of 2028) in the states from Georgia, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina. Below, here’s a look at the skill position athletes that stood out from the Georgia sixth-grade team during the practices.
Kruz Marion | Wide Receiver
Marion has been in and out of the youth football scene down in Georgia, but he can absolutely go. Was the first kid I noticed on the Georgia Future Stars team. Very crisp route runner who sticks his foot in the ground hard, when breaking on his route. Natural pass catcher.
Cincere Robuck | Linebacker
Robuck was a standout Outside Linebacker during the week. On the roster at 5-foot-8 and 125 pounds, but looked significantly bigger on the field. The ’backer corpse on the Georgia sixth-grade squad was light in numbers, but high on talent. Moved well and showed smarts during the week.
Cannon Robinson | Quarterback
Georgia had the benefit of three very talented signal callers at the helm. Robinson came out of the gates a little slow and his passed dipped a bit during practice one. However, as practices continued, he adjusted to the skill level and showed he belonged. He’s a project, but the ability is there.
Kamar Boykin | Defensive Back
Boykin was a do-it-all kid for the Georgia Future Stars. On the roster as a Defensive Back, he was a lockdown guy all week. Then, on the offensive side of the ball, he ran wild when he had the opportunity. Lively personality off the field and hard-nosed on it. Helmet has all the marks to prove it.
Prince Aminu | Quarterback
I knew of Aminu heading into the week, but there’s no 2028 prospect that won me over more this week than him. Can absolutely spin the ball. Stood tall in the pocket, moved around exceptionally and through a beautiful ball. Accurate, great accuracy. I left this week a big Prince fan.
Kevin Hartsfield | Running Back
On a team literally comprised of Future Stars, there was something different about the way Hartsfield ran the ball. There were a lot of mouths to feed in terms of touches, but when Hartsfield ran the ball, it was violent in nature. He had a powerful lower body that made it a chore to bring him down.
CJ Cypher | Quarterback
Come game time, Cypher was the starter and it was easy to see why. I’m on record saying Cypher was the best Quarterback prospect I’ve seen since Trevor Lawrence played Future Stars back when he was in middle school. From a technical and fundamental standpoint–he checks every box.
Damien Moore | Wide Receiver
Moore is a bit of a project, but I liked what I saw from him in terms of a potential standpoint. On the roster at 5-foot-11 and 125 pounds, but I think he’s a bit heavier than that. As a sixth-grader, obviously he’s still growing into his body. But he’s long and has a lot of physical tools to work with.
Caleb Ivey | Defensive Back
Ivey was one of the better Defensive Backs on the Georgia sixth-grade Future Stars Team. Extremely aggressive player who played a physical style. Was not afraid to hand fight for as long as “legally” possible down field. On the roster as 5-foot-5 and 101 pounds.
Alanson Simmons | Wide Receiver
By my own admission, overlooked him at first because of his small size at this point. However, the more I watched him during practice, he kept making play after play. To that point, on the last play of 1-on-1’s during the first practice, he made a diving catch that got everyone’s attention. Reliable skill guy.
Quin’taes Foat | Defensive Back
A good looking Defensive Back that showed the ability to play both Corner and Safety right now. Foat hails from Hephzibah, a town that isn’t far from the South Carolina border and is home to just 3,911 people. He moved well in space and knew when to clamp down.
Steven McClendon | Linebacker
Wasn’t hard to miss McClendon during the practices, rocking his Georgia red and black cleats. Really good looking Outside Linebacker prospect with a high upside. Obviously will continue to get stronger as he matures, but understands the game at a high level. Also liked his hustle to the ball all week.
Tony Reid Jr. | Linebacker
A Middle Linebacker that caught my eye during the first day, but wasn’t necessarily a standout. However, on the second day when the pads came on, Reid Jr. separated himself. On the roster at 5-foot-4 and 140 pounds, Reid Jr. was in position to make a plan on nearly every run play.
Madoxx Davis | Wide Receiver
One of those athletes that just gets the job done and doesn’t accept defeat. Only 5-foot-4 and 120 pounds at this point, he had probably the most reliable hands out of any receiver on the team. Missed the first practice, but didn’t miss anything else–including passes to him. One to remember for sure.
