GA Preseason All State

As I said in his tweet, this is going to be a very high level defender in the class, and there aren’t many better total packages in the southeast right now. Being new to the scene in 2022, he’s now marinating as a prospect and has picked up D1 interest from around a dozen good programs at this point. I would not be surprised to see him get popped with multiple offers in 2023. His footwork, exchange, were the best at the event, earning him a 1.92 pop time (1.92-2.00 range). The arm action is picture perfect for a backstop, with a short & quick arm spiral from an OH slot that creates tons of carry and registered 78 mph. Stonecipher showcased his high level swing mechanics to the crowd, launching a 357 foot bomb (92 EV) onto the tents in RF. We love to monitor his progress and are enjoying his dramatic improvements in each event.
