Projected Top Players By Position
Hillgrove DE is 'a grown man right now'
There's really no comparison between Bradley Chubb and Myles Murphy, two of the best football players to walk the halls of Hillgrove High in Powder Springs.
 
Chubb is the Hillgrove alumnus who was the fifth overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft to the Denver Broncos, for whom he now starts at outside linebacker. He was a defensive end at N.C. State.

Murphy is a Hillgrove student who is the fourth overall prospect nationally in the class of 2020. He's committed to Clemson. He's a defensive end.
 
Chubb is everything that Murphy wants to be as a professional. Murphy is everything that Chubb never was as a high school player.
 
''Yes, two totally different situations with Myles and Bradley,'' 247Sports recruiting analyst Rusty Mansell said Wednesday.
 
Mansell went on to explain: Chubb was 6 feet, 2 inches, 221 pounds at a Vanderbilt prospect camp two months before his senior season. Four years later at the NFL Combine, he was 6-4, 271 and faster than in high school.
 
''There is no one that could have predicted that,'' Mansell said. ''I kept going back to see Kenyan Drake [Chubb's Hillgrove teammate, now in the NFL], and I never left thinking Bradley was going to be an NFL high draft pick. I am glad he is because he worked his tail off.''
 
Meanwhile, Murphy is already 6-5, 260 as measured at the Opening Regional prospect camp in March, when he ran a laser 40-yard time of 4.65 seconds.
 
''Myles is a grown man right now,'' Mansell said. ''I see one or two of these types every year in my job. If nothing changes the path he is on, he will be another NFL high draft choice from Hillgrove. I hate to use the word because it gets thrown around so much in my world, but he is every ounce of a freak. I watched him two years in a row take over the McEachern game in the fourth quarter. Tells you all you need to know playing that good, that late in games.''
 
Below are 10 of the state's best defensive linemen for 2019. GHSF Daily will publish its 10 best at each position over nine issues in preseason. The players' status as recruits is a factor, but the choices are made largely on production as high school players.
 
*Will Anderson, Dutchtown:  Anderson, a first-team all-state player last season, had 22 sacks and 15 other tackles for losses for a defense that allowed just 7.7 points per game. Dutchtown won it first region title in 2018. Anderson (6-3, 230) is a top-100 national recruit committed to Alabama.

Simeon Barrow
*Simeon Barrow, Grovetown: Barrow led his Augusta-area school to its first region title in 2018. He contributed 31 tackles for losses, 15 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception. Barrow (6-2, 250) is a three-star recruit and likely the first Power Five Conference signee in school history. His reported favorites are Tennessee, Michigan State and Virginia Tech.

*Jamil Burroughs, McEachern:  Burroughs (6-2, 330) had 10 tackles for losses, nine hurries and five sacks against frequent double-teams for McEachern, a perennial Class AAAAAAA playoff team. He's a four-star recruit committed to Georgia.

*Jaden Hardy, Islands: Hardy is a run stuffer in the interior of the line but quick enough to register 12.5 sacks for Benedictine in 2018. He's transferred across town to Islands in Savannah. Hardy is a three-star recruit with Auburn and others closest on his trail.

*Myles Murphy, Hillgrove: Murphy had 16 tackles for losses and seven sacks for a 12-1 team that lost only to eventual Class AAAAAAA champion Milton 20-19. He is the consensus No. 1 prospect in Georgia.

B.J. Ojulari
*B.J. Ojulari, Marietta: Ojulari led his team with 104 tackles - 18 for losses - while forcing three fumbles in 2018, when he was the only first-team all-state junior  defensive lineman in the highest classification. He's also a three-year starter on the offensive line. Ojulari (6-3, 225) is a four-star recruit slated to announce his college choice Aug. 16. His brother, Azeez Ojulari, is an outside linebacker at Georgia.

*Nazir Stackhouse, Columbia: Stackhouse (6-3, 300) had five sacks and 13 other tackles for losses in just 10 games for a 2-8 team. He's a four-star recruit committed to Georgia.

*Akelo Stone, Jenkins: Stone had 21 tackles for losses and five sacks and blocked three punts last season for Jenkins, a Savannah school that hadn't made the quarterfinals since the 1960s until players such as Stone began to suit up. Now, the Warriors have made the Class AAA quarters in consecutive years. A three-star recruit, Stone (6-2, 250) is committed to Georgia Tech.

* Zykeivous Walker, Schley County: Walker, a first-team all-state player last season, had 10.5 sacks and 14.5 other tackles for losses on a 9-3 team. He's the highest-rated defensive player in Class A. He's been all-region in football and basketball since he was a freshman. Walker (6-4, 260) is an uncommitted four-star recruit.

*Alvin Williams, Cedar Grove: Williams had 70 tackles, 11 for losses, plus five sacks, for the Class AAA champions last season. Always athletic, he's now grown taller and picked up 30 pounds of muscle in the off-season. A three-star recruit, Williams (6-4, 220) is committed to Colorado.
Preseason All-State Teams
Class AA
*Best player:  Tank Bigsby, Callaway. He rushed for 2,221 yards in 2018. Now, he's 15-20 pounds of muscle bigger and stronger. And faster.
 
*Best position:  Defensive line. The Class AA fearsome foursome consists of Dublin's Romello Height (committed to Miami), Hapeville Charter's Zavier Carter (junior four-star recruit), B.E.S.T. Academy's Rashad Whitehead (senior three-star recruit) and Heard County's Tray Owens (defending champion's best player). Each was an all-region performer in 2018.
 
*Highly recruited:  Bigsby is the consensus No. 31 senior prospect in the nation. He will announce his commitment on Friday, and it's expected to be Auburn. But next year, it will be Amarius Mims, a Bleckley County tackle who is 6 feet, 7.5 inches. He's rated the consensus No. 14 player overall among juniors nationally.
 
*That's interesting:  Gunner Stockton passed for 2,917 yards as a Rabun County freshman. Trevor Lawrence passed for 3,053 yards as a Cartersville freshman. Lawrence passed for 13,902 yards in his Cartersville career, a state record.
 
*Snubbed?  Jacob Freeman was caught in a jam of talent at wide receiver, a position he'll play full-time this season after serving most of 2018 as Callaway's quarterback. A Division I recruit, Freeman helped the Cavaliers to the Class AA semifinals last season and was the Region 5 athlete/specialist of the year. Also hard to go without were Chattooga's Luis Medina on the defensive line and Berrien's Ja'Marquis Johnson at receiver. Both are D-I players.
 
*What else is new?   Rico Powers, a four-star recruit, has transferred to Hapeville Charter from Benedictine. He was a 1,000-yard rusher as a junior but will focus on his wide-receiving skills at Hapeville. He had 560 yards receiving last season.

List
Longest-tenured: 2A
Heard County had reached the playoffs in 16 of head coach Tim Barron's 17 seasons before breaking through with the school's first state championship in 2018. That's a long wait, but he's in good company. Conrad Nix won his first state title in 1997 after 21 seasons at Northside of Warner Robins. Dan Pitts won his first in 1980 after 22 seasons at Mary Persons. Gerry Romberg won his first in 2015 after 25 seasons at Westminster. That's encouraging news to J.B. Arnold, Class AA's longest-tenured coach, who has led Jefferson County to five region titles and 17 consecutive playoff appearances but is still seeking the biggest prize.

Four Questions
Heard County won its first state championship in 2018 with a 27-6 victory Rockmart in the Class AA final. That avenged a 33-0 regular-season loss from three months earlier. Today's interviewee is Heard County coach Tim Barron, in his 18th season with the Braves.
 
Tim Barron, Heard County head coach
1. In 2018, you lost two games by 30 points to teams in your own classification and still won the title. How were you playing so much better three months later? "It didn't happen quickly. We didn't get better from just one game. Obviously we played two really good opponents [Rockmart and Hapeville Charter]. They identified weaknesses, whether it was personnel or schemes or playing people out of position. We got humbled. It was painful. We had to go back and look to move some kids up. Next week, we weren't a lot better, but we got a little better every week. And by the end of the year, it wasn't as hot. We had a lot of kids going both ways. That helped. We knew we were talented, but we just weren't a good football team at that time in the year."
 
2. Are there pros and cons to playing such a strong early schedule?  "Every team is different. You have to have a pulse on your team and what they can handle mentally and physically. We're playing the same schedule again [Hapeville and Rockmart, plus LaGrange and Central of Carrollton in non-region.] We're not as athletic as we were, but ultimately, I think our kids can handle it. If they can stay together through the non-region, by the end of the year, we can be a good football team."
 
3. Who is the team to beat in 2019?  "Obviously there's a big drop-off between what we were a year ago. We graduated a big senior class. Hapeville Charter is extremely talented. Callaway is extremely talented. Rockmart is talented. Fitzgerald is going to be dang good. I'm really impressed with the coaching staff at Fitzgerald, and they return a lot. I don't follow Dublin that well, but I think they'll be good. AA is going to have some good football teams. For us, we're going to have to be good up front on both sides. That's what we're wanting to happen. For us to be successful and turn into a good team by mid-season, we need that to happen. If it doesn't, we're going to have some struggles."
 
4. Which player off the 2018 team will you miss the most? And which are you most grateful to have returning?  "To narrow down to one, that's tough. It was such a talented group. We had six guys sign D-I. That's never happened in our program. Aaron Beasley's at Tennessee. Zaylin Wood's at Maryland. Our quarterback [Alijah Huzzie] was extremely good for us. He's gone to East Tennessee State. We had a receiver [LeQuincy Shepherd] who broke our single-season TD mark. We're missing an all-state inside linebacker [Andrew Leak]. I could say this. We've been so spoiled at quarterback for so long. Right now, we don't have that one guy ahead of the others. We've got three guys battling. It's always a good, warm feeling for the offensive coordinator to know you have a veteran, so it might be Alijah Huzzie in terms of need. As far as the player we're most grateful to have, it's [defensive end] Tray Owens up front. He was really good, and now he's bigger, faster and stronger. We're excited to see what he's going to do."
