Grayson will be tested immediately, with its first four games taking place away from its home stadium. The Rams open Aug. 12 against North Gwinnett at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the Corky Kell + Dave Hunter Classic. North Gwinnett reached the Class 6A state semifinals last season before losing to eventual runner-up Carrollton. Grayson then visits defending Class 3A champion Sandy Creek before an open week. The Rams return Sept. 4 at Langston Hughes, another nationally recognized public-school program with the talent to contend for a Georgia championship. After traveling to Brunswick, Grayson finally plays its first home game against No. 9 Buford. That matchup will place Smith and Grayson’s experienced offensive line against a Buford defense expected to rank among the best in the country. The Rams host Miami Carol City before beginning Region 4-7A play. Road games against Archer and Newton lead into home matchups with South Gwinnett and Rockdale County. The schedule provides little room for a slow adjustment under a new head coach. It also gives Grayson repeated opportunities to strengthen its national résumé before the postseason. #### 2026 Grayson Schedule Aug. 12: vs. North Gwinnett at Mercedes-Benz Stadium Aug. 21: at Sandy Creek Sept. 4: at Langston Hughes Sept. 11: at Brunswick Sept. 18: vs. Buford Oct. 2: vs. Miami Carol City (Florida) Oct. 9: at Archer Oct. 16: at Newton Oct. 23: vs. South Gwinnett Nov. 6: vs. Rockdale County
David “Deuce” Smith — QB, 2027 Smith enters 2026 as a proven starter rather than an unanswered question. He passed for 2,355 yards and 24 touchdowns last season after taking over the position. His ability to make plays through the air and on the ground gives Grayson flexibility throughout the offense. Jordan Agbanoma — IOL, 2027 The four-star Nebraska commitment is the foundation of Grayson’s offensive line. Agbanoma can play multiple positions up front and brings the experience needed to anchor an offense with championship expectations. KD Jones — IOL, 2027 Jones joins Agbanoma as another Nebraska-bound interior lineman. The 6-foot-5, 300-pound senior gives Grayson additional size and physicality in the middle of its offensive line. Together, Jones and Agbanoma should allow the Rams to establish a dependable running game while giving Smith time to attack downfield. Cameron Hurst — WR, 2028 Hurst transferred to Grayson after contributing to Buford’s undefeated championship season. He arrives with offers from several major college programs and gives Smith a young receiver with varsity experience against elite competition. Elijah Tillman — EDGE, 2028 At 6-foot-7, Tillman possesses unusual length and considerable upside as a pass rusher. He enters his junior season with an opportunity to become one of the central players on Carswell’s rebuilt defense. Waylon Wooten — DL, 2027 Wooten is a 6-foot-2, 300-pound defensive lineman committed to Georgia. According to the career statistics listed by MaxPreps, he has recorded 61 tackles, 15 tackles for loss, four sacks and 17 quarterback hurries across two varsity seasons. The secondary also features several players to watch, including UConn commit Preston Glasco, Syracuse commit Jalen Welch and Chattanooga commit Joreal Ellinger.
