Multiple ESPN 2024 Top Recruits Playing In Allstar Game Including Jamonta Waller (Picayune), Daniel Hill (Meridian), Kamron Beavers (Bay Springs), Aj Maddox (Oak Grove), Chris Davis Jr (Picayune), Pj Woodland (Oak Grove), & Sanfrisco Magee (McComb).
Half way through the season, some of Mississippi's most elite players were named to the 2023 Allstars List, playing in one of two Allstar Games. One of the biggest games for a high school football player in Mississippi, outside of playing in the State Championship, is being selected to play in the Alabama vs Mississippi Allstar Game.
This year, leading Team Mississippi are multiple ESPN ranked top recruits starting with Texas A&M Commit, 4 Star Recruit, Aj Maddox, currently the starting quarterback for Oak Grove High School Warriors. Aj is no question the best quarterback in Mississippi & is arguably the Best Offensive Player in the state. He's guaranteed to set the college world on fire next year, and possibly, take over the SEC. The Warriors are currently undefeated and in their stomach of victims include non other than Alabama's Hoover Mustangs. Yes, Aj has already defeated one of the best teams in Alabama and arguably, one of the best teams in the nation on the road in Alabama a few weeks ago.
However, The Alabama vs Mississippi Allstar Game will be played in Aj's backyard, not just in Mississippi, but in the quarterback's hometown of Hattiesburg, at The University of Southern Mississippi's M. M. Roberts Stadium on Saturday, December 16, 2023.
Not only does Oak Grove have a star leading the offense, but they also have a massive star as one of the leaders leading the defense, Mississippi State Bulldogs Commit, 4 Star Recruit Pj Woodland, one of the Top 10 Best Athletes in Mississippi, who just might play both sides of the ball at this year's all-star game, just as he does with ease now on Friday Nights.
One of the biggest offensive weapons is Ole Miss Rebels Commit, 3 Star Recruit Wide Receiver Sanfrisco Magee, one of the Top 10 Best Offensive Players in Mississippi, although he should be a 4 star at minimum. He's literally owned every defense he's played against and only 6 games into the season, he's has almost 1,000 yards not to mention 10 Touchdowns. He's no question a big part of the reason his team, the McComb High School Tigers, are 6-0!
Sanfrisco is not the only ESPN Top Recruit playing on offense, but the Alabama vs Mississippi Allstar game will also feature 4 Star Recruit, Meridian High School's Running Back Daniel "Danny" Hill, who's ranked in ESPN's Class of 2024 Top 5 Recruits. He'll be paired with another 4 Star Recruit, Picayune's Star Running Back Chris Davis Jr. This is shaping up to be an offensive nightmare for Alabama.
However, on defense things seem to get even worse. Leading the defense in the Alabama vs Mississippi Allstar Game is ESPN's #1 Ranked Recruit in Mississippi, not to mention the only 5 Star Recruit in Mississippi, Picayune Memorial High School Defensive Superstar, the unstoppable, unhuman, extremely talented Jamonta Waller. The Florida Gators Commit is a wrecking force all by himself. Extremely dangerous on defense, he can change the dynamic of any given game within a matter of seconds. If Alabama's smart, he won't just be doubled, he would be tripled at all times on every play as he's an offensive trouble maker waiting to ruin any offensive coordinator's night.
North vs South Allstar Game
The second biggest game for a Mississippi high school football player outside of the State Championship taking place at Ole Miss this year is the North vs South Allstar game. That all-star game will be Saturday, December 9 in Gulfport, MS at The Milner Stadium.
Yes, you've guessed it, there's another Oak Grove High School star that will be featured in this all-star game as well, Running Back Tajii Burkett, one of the most explosive athletes in high school sports and who arguably has the most disrespectful touchdown celebrations in the history of high school sports, and yes, he has plenty of celebrations as it's almost impossible for him not to score once he has the ball in his hands.
Although Tajii may play both sides of the ball, Oak Grove High School 3 Star Recruit Chase Pinkston doesn't need much help on defense. Simply put, Chase sank ships. He's a torpedo lurking deep in the waters, often time undetectable, unnoticeable, and unseen until he out of nowhere destroys the offense forcing the best of offensives off the field. Needless to say, Chase like many Oak Grove Warriors stars, plays both sides of the ball. He's just that talented and is a big reason Oak Grove Warrior are undefeated.
Leading the south's defense is perhaps not only one of the most feared defenders in all of Mississippi high school sports, but one of the most gifted athletes in general, Laurel High School's 3 Star Recruit Anthony Rogers, who against the Oak Grove Warriors not only picked off Aj Maddox, the best quarterback in Mississippi, he also had a forced fumble, and a touchdown, not to mention countless of tackles, all in the same game. He's a high school sports superstar. He's also extremely dangerous on punt returns as well because with the slightest opening he's more than likely ending up in the endzone.
The south in general is super stacked with high school stars such as West Jones's Jamarion Keyes, Quitman's Jeremiah Harris, an absolute beast who we interviewed a few weeks ago during our postgame interview with coaches and star players after the Stone vs Quitman football game, Petal's star receiver Cayden Burger who is unguardable, Hattiesburg's Tavares Wade who seem unstoppable & a magnet to the endzone, & Jefferson Davis County Jaguars' 3 Star Recruit Damyrion "Dee" Darby who is an absolute monster on defense. Damyrion is the type of player that keep offensive coordinators up at night. Yes, Damyrion's that talented. Extremely talented actually!
