C&C previously took a look at the top 2028/2029 specialists and tight ends several months back with the full article here, but here is the full breakdown.
The SNAPPERS group featured David Summers (Martinsburg), Jonathan Kaufman (Parkersburg South), and Knox Kimble (Frankfort), all recognized for their consistency and early specialist development. The lone 2029 mention was Timmy McIntyre (Capital), whose size and early game experience made him one of the younger names to watch.
The WATCH OUT FOR tier highlighted developmental tight end prospects Camden Bulger (Capital) and Cam Strode (Tyler Consolidated), both bringing strong athletic backgrounds and long-term upside as their roles continue to expand.
The PROVEN group featured Matthew Iman (Moorefield) and David Popper (Linsly), two players who had already established productive and versatile roles within their offenses.
The top tight end rankings were led by Lucas Lambert (Logan) at No. 1, followed by Levi Picha (Woodrow Wilson) and Miles Terry (South Charleston), each recognized for their combination of size, receiving ability, athleticism, and long-term college potential.
Updates
There has been some notable movement within this group over the past few months, highlighted by a pair of transfers. Timmy McIntyre moved from Capital to Herbert Hoover, while former teammate Camden Bulger transferred to Riverside. Both players bring additional athleticism and upside to their new programs as they continue their development.
On the recruiting front, several prospects have continued to gain momentum. Lucas Lambert (Logan) remains one of the more intriguing names in the class and has added multiple Mountain East Conference offers as college programs continue to evaluate his potential. Miles Terry (South Charleston) experienced one of the biggest recruiting breakthroughs in the group, earning his first Division I offer from Kent State and further validating the attention he has generated throughout the offseason.
One of the biggest stock risers has been Matthew Iman (Moorefield). Iman delivered a standout performance at the West Virginia Prep Football Showcase and continues to emerge as a prospect worth following closely. His athleticism and overall skill set have helped elevate his standing considerably over the past several months.
New Names
One of the most notable additions to the watch list is Gabe Fuller (Morgantown). Fuller possesses many of the physical traits evaluators look for, including length, athleticism, and developmental upside. He reinforced that potential with a strong showcase performance that put him firmly on the radar moving forward.
Another name to know is Aiden Barnett (2029), who transferred from Huntington to Herbert Hoover. Barnett brings additional upside to an already talented young group and is a player who could see his profile continue to grow over the coming years.
Paxton Bocook (Hurricane) is another prospect worth monitoring. While already recognized as one of the state’s promising young specialists, Bocook also provides value as a tight end and possesses the versatility to impact the game in multiple ways as his career progresses.
