Board notes
EDGE
Beverly (Tuscaloosa) and Younger (GAC) are the 2027 rushers. Room thins after 2026.
WR
Gayles is the blue-chip. Simmons is the Auburn flip. Need one more perimeter piece.
QB
Haven is the 5-star. Seaborn is the in-state pledge. Staff is not hunting a third.
DB
White's frame fits the Lee/Edmonds mold. Secondary class is still light.
