Over the next few weeks we will highlight 3 players to watch in ’24 from each of the 54 teams we follow at NwGaFootball.
Team #8: Cass Colonels
Cass has been playing football for along time, since 1953 to be exact. When was the last time they made the playoffs 3 straight seasons? The answer: never until the past 3 years.
Head Coach Steve Gates enters his 5th season at the helm for the Colonels having led them to the playoffs the last 3 seasons and their 1st ever trip to the Quarter Final round. We take a look at 3 players to watch, in this case 2 family names and a player to watch, for the 2024 Cass Colonels.
3 Players to Watch
The Ellises
’25 DT Kaden Ellis is a kid we have been following on here since his middle school years. The App St commit is a great example of what hard work off the field will help you accomplish on the field. ’26 OL Kail Ellis is one of the most highly recruited offensive line prospect in our Area. The 4.0, All Region is committed to Auburn.
The McWhorters
’26 QB Brodie McWhorter is the hottest QB prospect in the State right now. Already holds offers from Fla State, UGA, Mississippi St among others. ’26 OL Bear McWhorter is ranked as a 4 Star and the MaxPreps All American is a Arkansas Razorback commit.
Tayvian McKibbins
The 6’4 302 OL/DL is one of the most underrated lineman prospects in our coverage area who has just recently been getting the recognition he has earned. Power 4 frame with great blocking technique that goes hard to the whistle. Recently added an offer from Georgia Southern, Coastal Carolina, West Kentucky and Eastern Kentucky and will pocket more heading into Fall.
