2025 Recruiting

[FUwolfpacker]

James had a few nice catches and blocks last night as TFA got a big win over Lipscomb Academy, one of the best teams in TN.

Hunter Taylor and Greenville are playing Dorman on local channel 14. Have been in and out so haven't gotten to watch Taylor too much.

Furman hall of famer Will Bouton's oldest son, who played with Knauber at Greenville last year, ended up at Clemson. The QB for Greenville this year is Banks Bouton, who I assume is Will's middle son. He's been a lot of fun to watch. Guy is a gamer. Led 4 straight drives to take the lead and almost took Greenville 80 yards in less than a minute to tie the game at the end. Banks had over 100 yards rushing and is something like 17-24 for over 200 yards passing. Forced a pass at the end which ended up being an interception, but a good game from him. I think he's a 2026 guy, so I guess we'll see if he's a prospect after this year.

WR target Luke Indorf and St Thomas Aquinas also played on TV this week. Didn’t get to see much of the game, but another WR on the team had like 12 of the 20-22 completions on the night. Furman is is only reported offer at this time. That was before the Stewart and James commitment though so I don’t know if he’s still a take or not.

Couple of catches from Braylon Stewart.

CJ Nettles had a nice night scoring 2 TD’s. Not sure how many yards he had from a quick search but here are a few clips from the game.

Couple of videos of Nettles from the first half of his game.

Tough run early in the second half.

Evan James had a big night.

Adding some highlights of Braylon Stewart!
