Players to know
Jabari Watkins — WR/ATH, 2027
Watkins is a 6’2”, 185-pound 3-star prospect committed to Arkansas. He gives Thomas County Central a Power Four weapon on the outside and one of the top returning playmakers on the roster.
Prince Che — DT, 2028
Che is a 6’4”, 305-pound 5-star defensive lineman and one of the most important young defensive players in the country. He finished last season with 48 tackles, 18.5 tackles for loss, 11 quarterback pressures, 4 sacks and 1 pass breakup. He gives TCC a national-level presence in the trenches.
Gary Pringle — LB/TE, 2028
Pringle is a 6’1”, 215-pound 3-star linebacker/tight end with offers from UCF, Tulane, FAMU, Wake Forest, FIU and UAB. He is one of the biggest names to watch for the Yellow Jackets and gives them another impact piece on both sides of the ball.
Jordan McNeil — RB, 2028
McNeil is a 5’11”, 190-pound running back with offers from Penn State, West Virginia, Mississippi State and Oklahoma. With TCC replacing key offensive production, McNeil has a chance to become one of the most important players on the roster in 2026.
Deandra Andrews — DB/WR, 2028
Andrews is a 5’10”, 160-pound defensive back/wide receiver with major speed. He has been listed with a 10.69 in the 100 meters, a 21.84 in the 200 meters and offers from Toledo and App State. That type of speed matters on a team trying to stay explosive while replacing major contributors.
Isaiah Andrews — ATH, 2027
Andrews is a 6’1”, 235-pound 3-star athlete committed to Georgia State. He adds another college-level piece to a roster that still has enough talent to compete with anyone in Georgia.
