James Westervelt is a perfect example of what can happen when an athlete commits to one path. A former basketball standout who decided to take football seriously—and I’d say he made the right decision. At 6’5”, 245 pounds, James has the size, elite athleticism, and frame that college coaches covet. What makes him even more impressive is his ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball. Whether he’s making plays at tight end or wreaking havoc on defense, he’s a matchup nightmare every time he steps on the field. With another offseason of development and room to add even more muscle, James is poised for a breakout year. Don’t be surprised if he puts together one of the best seasons in John Carroll history. The future is bright, and the best is still ahead. #FTR

Evan Powell is a straight-up DAWG. 💯 From the moment he arrived at ECU, it was obvious he was different. His pass-rushing skill set is something you rarely see from a player at this stage of his career. It was incredibly difficult for the coaching staff to keep his redshirt on last season, but that patience has only built even more excitement for what’s ahead. Now it’s time to let him off the leash. Get ready to watch Evan wreak havoc on quarterbacks all across the American Conference. Don’t be surprised when his name starts showing up on highlight reels every weekend. 🍿 Get your popcorn ready… Evan Powell is ready to become a household name. #FTR

Brycen Coleman. Where do I begin with this kid? As the son of a coach, Brycen has always carried himself the right way. His work ethic, leadership, and attention to detail are exactly what you look for in a student-athlete. Brycen attended our Fast Track Recruits Bus Tour and consistently clocked a 4.4-second 40-yard dash at every stop, proving his speed and competitiveness against top talent throughout the tour. But what stands out even more than his athletic ability is the kind of young man he is—humble, coachable, and always willing to put in the work. I’m expecting big things from Brycen this season down at Vanderbilt. Keep an eye on him—he’s just getting started. #FTR

Keyon Washington is the definition of a worker. He attended the Fast Track Recruits Bus Tour two years in a row and earned everything he’s accomplished the hard way. He showed up to prospect camps, embraced the competition, and I rarely saw him lose a 1-on-1 rep. No matter who lined up across from him, Keyon wanted the best matchup every single time. That mindset is exactly why he’s where he is today. Iowa State didn’t just land another corner—they got a bona fide lockdown defender who’s built to compete at the highest level. I’m expecting Keyon to make a lot of noise in the Big 12 this season. Don’t be surprised when his name starts showing up on ESPN and across college football. #FTR

Davin Chandler… what can I say? Just another product of the outstanding Stephen Decatur football program. A true two-sport athlete, Davin excelled on the basketball court just as much as he did on the football field. At 6’1”, he’s the type of long, athletic defensive back every college coach wants—elite ball skills, great range, and never afraid to come downhill and make a tackle. After taking a redshirt as a freshman at Vanderbilt, the early reports are that he’ll be starting in the secondary for the Commodores this season. That shouldn’t surprise anyone who’s watched him work. He’s put in the time, added quality muscle, and continued to develop every aspect of his game. I have no doubt Davin is going to make a ton of plays in the SEC this year. The future is bright, and I can’t wait to watch him ball out. Go make it happen, Davin! 💪🏈 #FTR

Zymear Smith is one of the most explosive playmakers in college football with the ball in his hands. This season feels like it’s setting up to be his true coming-out party. The Eastern Shore product was rated as one of the nation’s top athletes and was once committed to Alabama before ultimately deciding to stay home and represent Maryland in front of his family. (University of Maryland Athletics⁠) Every time he touches the football, he’s a threat to take it the distance. I’m extremely excited to watch him make plays and become one of the most electrifying weapons in the Big Ten this upcoming season. #FTR

So proud of you, Mufu Taiwo! 💪 Watching your journey from the football field to becoming the Associate Director of Development at the University of Michigan has been incredible. Your hard work, character, and dedication continue to open doors. Big things are in store for this guy, and this is only the beginning. Keep making an impact— your #FTR family is rooting for you!

Josh Teachey was an absolute baller from the moment he stepped on campus. A true freshman starter, Josh went on to become a four-year starter for the Rockets, setting the standard with his consistency, toughness, and leadership. During his career, he compiled 103 total tackles, 15 pass deflections, and 1 forced fumble, proving to be a dependable playmaker every time he stepped on the field. #FTR

Jaihien Roy’s journey started at Queen Anne’s High School on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, where he made a name for himself with an explosive first step, a relentless motor, and a nonstop work ethic that separated him from the pack. Now, Roy has emerged as a leader of the Kent State Golden Flashes defense and will play a major role this season as the Golden Flashes set their sights on bringing home a conference championship. His toughness, discipline, and ability to make plays in the backfield make him a player to watch in 2026. #FTR

Luke Mergott. Without question, one of the best athletes we’ve ever had the opportunity to work with. From day one, Luke had one goal: earning an opportunity at Duke University. Coach Jake Coleman and I put together a plan, and to Luke’s credit, he executed it every step of the way. His work ethic, discipline, and attention to detail never wavered. Beyond being an outstanding football player, Luke is an incredibly bright and intelligent young man whose energy is contagious. He’s the kind of person everyone enjoys being around, and that leadership carries over onto the field. Last season, Luke earned a spot in Duke’s starting lineup and never looked back. He finished the year with 90 tackles, 1 sack, and 2 interceptions, including a clutch game-sealing interception in the ACC Championship Game. Those are the moments that define great players. I’m incredibly proud of everything Luke has accomplished, but I truly believe he’s only scratching the surface. I can’t wait to watch him lead Duke’s defense this season. In my opinion, Luke Mergott is one of the best linebackers in the country, and I truly believe he’s on a path to the draft #FTR

Fitz is the definition of resilience. He began his college career at Division II Glenville State University in West Virginia, where he excelled on the field as a freshman. Despite his early success, his ultimate goal was always to become a Division I linebacker. When UAB was rebuilding its football program, our relationships with the coaching staff helped Fitzgerald earn a roster spot. It didn’t take long for everyone to recognize his talent. Within just six months, he earned a full athletic scholarship. During his career at UAB, Fitzgerald started 35 games, earned All-Conference honors as a senior, and helped lead the Blazers to the first conference championship in program history. His journey is proof that perseverance, hard work, and believing in your abilities can turn big dreams into reality. #FTR
