This year’s 2024 Brent Key/Corky Kell + Dave Hunter 7-on-7 Classic will be headlined by talent from all over the state. The third day of the tournament features teams such as Buford, Westlake and North Oconee who are each coming off of successful seasons.
The first games of the day will begin around 9:30 a.m. at three locations (Bobby Dodd Stadium, Brock Indoor, and the Rose Bowl) which will include a wide-range of talent throughout the four days of the tournament at Georgia Tech.
Here are some names to watch out for on Tuesday, June 11 (the third day of the tournament):
Antwann Hill (Class of 2025, 4-star QB, Houston County)
Hill, a Warner-Robins-native, has held the starting quarterback role for Houston County for the last two seasons during his sophomore and junior campaign for the Bears. In two seasons as the starting quarterback, Hill has helped lead the Bears into the GHSA 6A football state playoffs in both seasons, making the quarterfinals in his sophomore year and the second round as a junior. Overall in his high school career for the Bears after two years as a starter, Hill has combined for close to 6,400 yards, over 70 touchdown passes and has completed 471 passes in 692 attempts for an eye-popping 68% completion percentage.
As a sophomore, Hill broke multiple Houston County records such as completion percentage (70.5%) and number of completions (268) on his way to being selected to the MaxPreps Sophomore All-American second-team. Hill’s stature, at 6-foot-5, 215-pounds, combined with his elite decision-making on the field makes him stand out as an intriguing prospect in the Class of 2025 at the quarterback position. Hill was once in line to replace Sheduer Sanders at Colorado before the 4-star decommitted from head coach Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes in November of 2023 and reopened his recruitment. Hill is the 12th-ranked quarterback in the class of 2025 and ranked at No. 27 in the state of Georgia. Hill has accumulated offers from most major programs around the country including Florida, Alabama, Auburn, UGA, FSU and Ole Miss including over 20 other schools as well.
Travis Smith Jr. (Class of 2025, 4-star WR, Westlake)
Smith is a big-body receiver standing at 6-foot-4 and close to 200-pounds. The Atlanta-native was a huge playmaker for Westlake last season, bringing in 53 receptions for over 840 yards and 11 receiving touchdowns as a junior. Smith possesses great instincts as a red zone threat with his great size and speed and is a play-maker for the Lions.
Smith creates multiple problems for opposing defenses as his combination of size and speed creates a nightmare matchup. He has been crystal-balled to land at the University of Georgia and had his official visit to Athens this weekend. Smith has offers from around the country after an impressive showing during his junior season with Westlake and is rated as a top-150 player in the 2025 recruiting cycle.
Dylan Vickerson (Class of 2025, 3-star WR, Creekside)
An under-the-radar wide receiver in the Class of 2025, Dylan Vickerson has become a playmaker for Creekside. Having also competed in track for Creekside, Vickerson is a versatile athlete with great size on the outside to make numerous plays for the Seminoles. He has accumulated plenty of offers from programs around the country such as Central Florida, North Carolina, Louisville, Tennessee and Miami but was crystal-balled to the University of Central Florida.
Vickerson would become the top wideout in the Class of 2025 for UCF as he would bring his playmaking ability to Orlando and head coach Gus Malzhan. Last season for the Seminoles, Vickerson played a huge role on an offense that scored 591 points last season. With their high-powered offense in full gear, the Seminoles and Vickerson went 13-2 last season before they were defeated in the state championship by Coffee, 31-14.
Devin Williams (Class of 2025, 4-star CB, Buford)
The Buford-product has been committed to Auburn since February of 2024. Williams played on both sides of the ball for the Wolves last fall, proving to be more than effective in coverage and as a receiver as well. Williams was an important member of last year’s Buford team that went 11-2 but was knocked out of the state playoffs in the quarterfinals. While Williams excels on the football field, he is also a gifted runner on the track. He placed third at the GHSA 6A regional meet his freshman year in the 100-meter dash and sixth in the 200-meter dash. His quickness out in open space will help separate him from the competition as he has proved to be a factor for Buford on the defensive side of the ball.
Last season for the Wolves, he made his mark on both sides of the field although primarily being a cornerback. Williams registered a 100-yard game last season for Buford in just three receptions against Mountain View. As a junior, Williams averaged 27.5 yards per catch from former-Buford and current-Nebraska quarterback Dylan Raiola and separated himself as a downfield threat for the Wolves.
