Thompson McNees

Trinity, Sr .

Analysis: Despite not starting last season, McNees gave us flashes of what’s coming. In back-to-back games against Marbury and Sumter Central he finished with three touchdowns for the Wildcats. Now in position to start this fall, Trinity looks to go back to the postseason with a different end result.

Cason Myers

Pike Road, So

Saint James, Jr.

Listed as 6-foot-1, Perry made noise at several camps and 7-on-7 this offseason. With the trust from his teammates and coaches, Perry is in for a huge year with this Trojans group.

Kingston Preyear

Montgomery Catholic, Fr.

Analysis: Entering his first season with Knights, there is huge upside to this young quarterback. Listed as 6-foot-3, Preyear is coming to a loaded Catholic team looking to repeat as state champions. With praise already from coaches and scouts around the area, Preyear will be highly touted prospect in the River Region this fall.

Terrell Russell Jr.

Carver, Sr.

Christian Snipes

Alabama Christian, Jr.

Analysis: Listed at 6-foot-2, the duo of Snipes and running back AC Walters are expected to turn heads this fall with the Eagles. After playing mostly on defense last year, Snipes will give ACA a much larger look under center.

David Whisenhunt

Montgomery Academy, Jr.

Analysis: With Montgomery Academy searching for its quarterback of the future, Whisenhunt is a player competing for that starting spot. Showcasing his athletic abilities on defense last season at linebacker and safety, a move to quarterback would not be surprising.
