Let’s discuss the prospects on the board and how you would mold this class. Feel free to add guys you feel we should be talking about or be offered.
Jacolby George - bit of a project and looks like he’ll gain strength/speed once he hits the weight room. Understands spacing and it’s hard to find better hands. Needs a gym.
Brashard Smith - More of a weapon than a WR or RB. Legit Speed and might have gotten bigger and faster. I worry that him being positionless though might limit the potential
Mello Brinson - Lanky, athletic vertical threat. Maybe the 2nd best pure WR in SFL? He definitely a kid that’ll explode in a weight room and get faster.
Bralon Brown - A bit of a speed concern. I’ve personally have cooled on him. Real physical with a big catch radius. Not a polished WR like Mello but is college built which Mello needs to work on.
Christian Leary - Speed but with a thick build. Is an actual WR while Brashard is more of a weapon even though Christian needs to improve his route running. Really skilled in the open field, possible returner in College.
Jacorey Brooks - Mello and him are similar but Jacorey is probably longer and has a bigger wingspan. Has speed concerns but ran 22.18 in the 200 so I would expect him to run in the 4.6 range just like Mello would next time they test. Really good hands.
Malik Nabers - Really tough kid. Is big enough and has good athleticism. Good in it comes to getting YAC. Doesn’t have a tremendous route tree but has the tools to become a great route runner. Decent pair of mitts and he has a good release.
Jaden Alexis - The man at Monarch with legit speed. Easily could be an elite CB as he could be at WR. Good hands but needs to expand the route tree. Can probably play outside or inside. Leaning Texas apparently.
Yulkieth Brown - Another speed demon that’s more of a weapon than any position. Really good route runner but there’s a hands question here. Really dynamic in the open field. Off topic but he has CB tape and he looks good. Make me wonder why we took Malik Curtis when Yul is probably the same size and is a better ball player.
Guys we should be talking about or offered:
Eric McAlister - Big, 6’3 high jumper/basketball player from Texas that’s really productive. I’m just going to post the thread on him and leave it at that.

Chase Smith - People like using Isaiah Simmons as a comp but I noticed today that he doesn’t have a big frame which kind of puts a dent in that and I can’t get over his hands. Look, he’s literally got some of the best hands in this class and some of the catches he makes on tape are ridiculous. Production wise he’s similar to Mello and he’s longer. He definitely has the speed to play there. I also think he’ll be in the 4.6 range but he needs a weight room plus a little more flexibility. I think he’s just as good as Mello at WR. Don’t believe me? Watch his tape in entirety.
My Class:
JaColby George
Mello Brinson
Chase Smith
I’ve been adamant about needing some athletic length on the outside and Mello and Chase are both going to be high 4.4, low 4.5 guys (maybe faster) once they get in this weight room and I think both can be high round picks. I went with JaColby over Eric just because I can’t turn down his hands and I think JaColby is gonna be real fast once he hits the weight room. That’s something that all three hit, hands with athleticism. They won’t drop balls and that’s something we’ve struggled with last year. Bunch of high floor/ceiling guys that I think will play in the league.

Z’s prospect watch: TX 2021 WR Eric McAlister
Eric McAlister is a 6’3 180 WR from Azle, Texas and plays for Azle High school. Really productive kid, had 63 receptions for 1449 yards and 23 TDs. Basketball players and high jumper with a 5-10 his sophmore year so he’s probably going to need weight room work since he participates in track...
