Five Players to Watch
Lamar Brown
OL/DL ¦ University
The senior is committed to LSU as the No. 1-rated recruit in Louisiana for the Class of 2026 and is set to anchor U-High’s offensive line while also rotating in along the defensive line.
Javen Holmes
S ¦ Madison Prep
A leader in the secondary capable of playing both safety spots, the senior is committed to the University of Houston and described as “a force” by Madison Prep coach Landry Williams.
Jackson Loflin
OL ¦ Parkview Baptist
The senior is a three-year starter at guard anchoring Parkview’s offensive line alongside fellow seniors Willie Williams and Logan Parker in what’s going to be a new-look offense.
Kaleb West
QB/S ¦ Port Allen
The senior will be a two-way starter at quarterback and free safety as a leader on both sides of the ball for a young Port Allen team with just five returning starters.
Keyon Robinson
WR ¦ Madison Prep
A Grambling State commitment nicknamed “Hollywood,” the senior returns as a go-to option at wide receiver with great route-running ability and strong hands.
