3. Jamil Paris – Sebastian River

After an outstanding Nike Combine, Paris has seen his stock shoot through the roof. Standing at 6’5 215, Paris is one of the fastest linemen in the state. He only played in three games because of injury last year but really showcased his talent at the combines where he dominated many of the top offensive linemen.

At 6’3 230lbs, Augustin is one of the most athletic players in the state. Last year, he had over 70 tackles with ten sacks. What separates Augustin from other linemen is his speed. He runs a 4.6 in the forty and also runs the 110 hurdles for his high school.
