Player notes - Hudson, Ohio’s own Brooks Wilmink has rapidly ascended into elite national recognition as one of the top 2030 quarterback recruits, boasting a résumé that includes standout performances at You Are Athlete (Ohio), QB Universe, and the Elite 11, where he captured the coveted QB Accuracy Award. Also ranked among the Top 20 on QB Hit List and named an RNR Top 20 QB and Next Gen Young Gun, Wilmink has cemented himself as a technically refined and mature signal-caller well beyond his years. Wilmink plays the quarterback position with remarkable poise and fluidity, displaying an effortless rhythm in the pocket that allows him to survey the field and deliver precise strikes under pressure. His ability to make off-platform, “over-the-top” throws with outstanding touch and control separates him from many in his class.

CFB RECRUITING PROJECTION

What truly stands out is his understanding of defensive manipulation; Wilmink already shows the ability to look off defenders and progress through reads with a veteran-like command. His timing and ball placement are impeccable — he “feathers” passes into tight windows, ensuring completions by hitting receivers in stride and at eye level for maximum catch-ability. This rare combination of touch, decision-making, and accuracy gives Wilmink the potential to evolve into one of the most polished pocket passers in the 2030 recruiting class. As he continues to develop physically and mentally, Brooks Wilmink projects as a high-ceiling quarterback prospect who could command Power Five attention in the near future.
RB Cooper Jones
Class of 2030
Westlake HS
(TX)
5'10", 180
GPA 3.8
Player notes - Westlake (TX) running back Cooper Jones has emerged as one of the most electrifying young playmakers in the nation and is already rewriting what’s possible for a prospect in the 2030 recruiting class. Standing at 5’9”, 175 pounds, Jones possesses a rare combination of world-class track speed and natural football instincts that has left college recruiters scrambling for his commitment. After rushing for a staggering 1,352 yards on just 49 carries and tallying 30 touchdowns in only seven games as a 7th grader, it’s no wonder he’s reeled in 15 Power Four offers — including recent overtures from SMU, Baylor, Nebraska, Kansas State, Michigan State, Penn State, Missouri, Syracuse, and Texas A&M. Jones’ effortless stride and fluidity in the open field make him look more like an Olympic sprinter than a middle school phenom — which might not be far off, given his 10.9-second 100-meter dash time at his age. His speed, however, isn’t just linear; it’s dynamic. He’s capable of slicing through defenses with surgical precision, using lightning-fast in-and-out cuts that freeze defenders and leave would-be tacklers grasping at air. There’s a natural rhythm to his running style — a blend of balance, body control, and elite acceleration that feels instinctual rather than learned. This fluidity stems from an immense training regimen that has honed every element of his athleticism. Physically, Jones is already built like a varsity-level back, but what sets him apart is his mental discipline and humility. A devout young athlete, his favorite Bible verse, Mark 10:27 — “Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God’” — serves as a daily reminder of his faith and drive to reach his goals. It’s this foundation that fuels his relentless pursuit of perfection both on and off the field. Having already earned U.S. All-American Bowl honors as an 8th grader, Cooper Jones stands on a trajectory few have ever seen at this stage. His combination of elite vision, burst, patience, and finishing power projects him as a future cornerstone in any Power Four backfield — and possibly beyond. Simply put, Jones has all of the tools of the next-level elite running back in the world of College Football Now, and as his development continues, he could one day find himself not just leading a college offense but representing Team USA on the track as well.

QB Cameron Marsh Jr.
Class of 2030
Creekside HS
(GA)
6'1", 185
GPA - 4.0
Player notes - Few young quarterbacks in the nation have captivated the recruiting world like Cameron Marsh Jr., the electrifying dual-threat signal caller out of Creekside High School in Georgia. Already boasting an eye-popping 2,512 passing yards and 33 touchdown passes this season, Marsh has proven to be one of the most polished and well-rounded passers we’ve evaluated in the 2030 recruiting class. His throwing mechanics are textbook — displaying impeccable footwork, seamless body weight transition, and an advanced understanding of throwing leverage that allows him to drop dimes over the top of defenses with effortless touch and precision. Marsh’s command of the pocket belies his age, as he consistently delivers beautifully wound strikes from a sturdy platform, while also showcasing the rare ability to make off-platform throws with pristine accuracy. Whether he’s threading the needle between converging defenders or feathering a fade route into the end zone, Marsh throws one of the most catchable footballs in the class — spinning tight spirals that naturally find his receivers in stride. His ball placement and anticipation are already operating at a varsity veteran level, a testament to his tireless film study and refined understanding of defensive coverages. Yet Marsh’s passing acumen tells only half the story. When protection breaks down, his dual-threat mobility transforms him into a nightmare for opposing defenses. Clocked at 4.6 in the forty, Marsh possesses a rare blend of speed, power, and vision as a runner. He’s not content to simply scramble for yardage — he attacks space, reads pursuit angles like a seasoned running back, and isn’t afraid to deploy the “All-Madden truck stick” to finish runs with authority. His ability to extend plays, keep his eyes downfield, and deliver off-script highlights has drawn early comparisons to some of the elite dual-threat quarterbacks in recent memory.

SCOUTING NOTES PROJECTION 

Marsh’s résumé already sparkles with accolades: AYF Georgia Champion, B2C All-American, 2X Quarterback of the Year, and All-State Team selection. Each distinction underscores his consistency, leadership, and dominance at every level of competition. As his development continues, Marsh projects as a true franchise-caliber quarterback — a poised, instinctive field general with NFL-caliber traits already emerging. In a 2030 recruiting class loaded with talent, Cameron Marsh Jr. stands alone at the top tier — the prototype for the next generation of dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks.
ATH Emanuel Woods II
Class of 2030
Mount Vernon HS
(OH)
​6'0", 165
GPA - 3.8
Scouting notes - Emanuel Woods II is emerging as one of the premier all-around athletes in the 2030 recruiting class. Following a dominant performance at the RNR Top Dawg Showcase—where he earned MVP honors and an early offer from Syracuse—Woods has firmly positioned himself as a name to watch on the national radar. His combination of explosiveness, fluidity, and two-way versatility makes him a rare and dynamic playmaker. Woods explodes off the line of scrimmage with elite first-step quickness and acceleration. His long, smooth stride allows him to reach top-end speed quickly while maintaining control and balance. As a route runner, he shows advanced polish for his age—displaying fluid hips, sharp breaks, and natural separation ability against coverage. His body control and spatial awareness are already at a high level, making him a consistent threat to produce chunk plays downfield. As a wide receiver, Woods thrives on creating yards after the catch. His vision as a ball carrier is exceptional, allowing him to navigate traffic and turn short receptions into explosive gains. He pairs this with a refined understanding of leverage and timing, making him a difficult cover on both vertical routes and underneath concepts. In the open field, his wiggle and burst are elite, giving him the ability to make multiple defenders miss in one-on-one situations. One of Woods’ most dangerous weapons is his ability as a punt returner. His natural instincts, field vision, and acceleration allow him to find seams and capitalize on limited space. The wiggle, burst & acceleration he displays in the return game translates directly to his offensive production, marking him as a true three-phase threat. Defensively, Woods is equally impressive as a physical and instinctive defensive back. He attacks the ball with confidence, showing toughness at the catch point and a knack for producing turnovers. His timing and ability to high-point the football make him a lockdown threat on the perimeter, while his willingness to tackle adds to his value as a complete two-way player.

SCOUTING REPORT PROJECTION

Emanuel Woods II has the complete athletic profile and football IQ to project as a future 5-star recruit. His blend of explosiveness, fluidity, and versatility gives him an extremely high ceiling at the next level.

DB/LB Treston Jones
Class of 2030
Mary Persons HS
(GA)
5'9", 140
GPA - 4.0
Player notes - Treston Jones has emerged as one of the most complete and instinctive linebackers in the 2030 recruiting class, making a name for himself as the defensive centerpiece at Mary Parsons High School in Georgia. Jones brings an elite combination of football IQ, closing speed, and coverage awareness that separates him from most linebackers his age. His quick first step and natural instincts allow him to read plays before they fully develop, giving him the ability to attack gaps with precision and shut down running lanes before they open. What truly sets Jones apart is his ability to make an impact in both the run and pass game. Against the run, he displays outstanding short-area burst and pursuit angles, consistently beating blockers to the spot and wrapping up ball carriers with solid technique. His tackling form is textbook — he stays low, drives through contact, and rarely misses when he’s in position. Whether it’s chasing down a quarterback scramble or stopping a running back at the line of scrimmage, Treston’s efficiency and urgency on every rep stand out on film. In pass coverage, Jones shows the type of fluid athleticism and awareness that modern college defenses covet. He moves smoothly when dropping into zone coverage, flipping his hips effortlessly and reading quarterback eyes to anticipate routes. His ability to recognize patterns developing in front of him allows him to close on crossing routes and underneath throws with impressive timing. He also possesses the agility and lateral quickness to stay with running backs and tight ends in space, a skill that makes him especially valuable in spread-oriented defensive schemes. Physically, Jones has the frame and athleticism to develop into a Power Four-caliber defender. While he’s already quick and technically sound, adding functional strength and refining his hand usage against larger offensive linemen will take his game to the next level. His pass-rush ability also shows promise, particularly when used on stunts or delayed blitzes, though continued improvement with hand placement and counter moves will help him become a more consistent threat in the backfield. Treston projects as an ideal fit for modern hybrid linebacker roles — the kind of sideline-to-sideline defender that can play the weak-side in a 4-3 or serve as a coverage-heavy WILL in a 3-4 alignment. His instincts and football intelligence make him an immediate candidate for early playing time once he reaches the college level, and his ceiling suggests the potential to become a multi-year starter at a major Power Four program.

Airy, Maryland & proved to be a very-skilled multi-faceted athlete who excelled on the OL & DL, as well as a long snapper & running back.
