Mbakwe is the starting quarterback for Clay-Chalkville, but he is projected to be a defensive back for the Crimson Tide. His athleticism leaves the door open for him to play on either side of the ball at the next level.

Thompson has its fair share of talent, including 2027 quarterback, Trent Seaborn, who holds an Alabama offer. He has some weapons at his disposal with his most explosive target being 2024 wide receiver, Deuce Oliver. The Warriors also have 2025 four-star defensive back and Alabama target, Anquon Fegans, suiting up for them.
