🐔 Deebo Samuel | Wide receiver | junior who learned multiple positions, with the potential to become the star of the team

🐔 Hayden Hurst | Tight end | junior, former walk-on, wowing teammates with his athleticism

🐔 Taylor Stallworth | Defensive tackle | senior who has been the stand-out of the defensive line

🐔 Bryson Allen-Williams | Linebacker | senior with amazing pass rush ability potential
