The high school camp season is winding down in the state of Georgia. Athletes descended on King’s Ridge Academy on Sunday afternoon for the last of the MVP Camps for the 2025 off-season.

There were a few names that stood out. Let’s take a look at them.

Here are 10 eye-catchers from the King’s Ridge MVP Camp.

2026 ATH Victor Copeland

This was the player who made you say ‘wow’. The Fitzgerald playmaker has played Wing-T quarterback. He amassed almost 3,000 yards of offense in 2024.

Copeland is a natural as a wide receiver. He catches the football with his hands. Copeland can snatch the football and has jarring twitch and body control.

Copeland has electric and explosive speed, but his best traits are his ability to track the football and his ball skills. He reminds me a lot of Sacovie White as a shorter receiver who can play like a larger receiver.

Copeland isn’t the above-the-rim player White can be, but he can do more than play inside or outside wide receiver. You want to find a way to have the football in this playmaker’s hands.

2026 DL Wihtlley Cadeau

If this young man manages the next five or six years of his life correctly, he can change the lives of those in the next five or six generations of his family.

Today, there are a lot of things that Cadeau needs to work on to be the best version of himself. There is a lot of raw ability here. Caduea is 6-foot-5, around 300 pounds. He’s got long arms and a massive frame that can fit into a few different roles along a defensive line.

Cadeau has the potential to turn into a Quinnen Williams-like front-line player long term. Some big programs, including Georgia, have already begun their pursuits.

2026 DL/EDGE Darryl Rivers

Rivers has a lot of upside as well. He’s got the ability to do a few things along a defensive line. Rivers showed power as well as speed on Sunday.

He, too, is just scratching the surface of his potential long-term.

2027 TE Grant Haviland

Haviland is a known man now. He hasn’t been a starter at Milton yet, but he’s such a talented young player that he was involved in his sophomore year at Milton playing behind SEC signees Ethan Barbour (Georgia signee) and Ryan Ghea (Auburn signee).

Haviland is different than both players. He’s a mixture of both. He reminds this reporter a lot of Georgia tight end Lawson Luckie at the same age.

Haviland plays above the rim, but he has enough speed to run away from the defenders if he creates separation.

2026 LB Kaden Carter

Carter just committed to Maryland last week. The versatile linebacker from Lamar County showed off his ability to play like a big defensive back in coverage.

Carter runs well for a linebacker and has the ability to change direction. That ability will make him a chess piece at the college level.

2027 DB Trav Bostic

Bostic is a camp veteran. He fears nothing; he takes a lot of reps and again won MVP. Bostic isn’t a larger defender, but he’s incredibly sticky. That’s the best way to describe him. Recievers try a lot of different things to get away from him, but by the end of the play, Bostic is usually right there to contest every ball.

He’s got some fire to him. Bostic is a quiet person, but he chirps during competition. Bostic thrives off competition in reps and in between. That is going to take him a long way.

2026 OT Tyler Chukuyem

The 6-foot-6 offensive tackle moved well all day on Sunday. He ran a good shuttle, looked smooth running that and the 40-yard dash.

Chukuyem then looked good during one-on-ones. He lost a rep or two, but he also buried a defender after stoning him and using his frame to control and finish.

This is one who be set for a rise.

2026 TE Brice Gillis

Gillis makes a few underthrown passes turn into touchdowns. He’s got a massive catch radius. Gillis also runs well for a big, tight-end-type player.

He’s seen his recruitment pick up. That will continue for the Wesleyan star.

2027 OL Terry Hilliard

Hilliard showed up and was one of the standouts immediately on Sunday. He’s an interior offensive lineman who has an anchor.

When rushed, he fought the initial rush with a powerful initial pop, and then he had the ability to sit and anchor and end the rep.

2026 OL Alexander Brewer

Brewer recently committed to Colorado State.

He looked like one of the alphas on Sunday. Brewer showed the ability to combat speed as well as power with a strong anchor. Brewer has some nastiness to his game as well.
