By Kennedy Hayles and Mike Maerz
This past summer season, our scouting staff was able to see hundreds of players who stood and made an impact for their team. Today, we are releasing our Summer 2021 All-Uncommitted 1st Team for the 2024 class which features the top uncommitted players we covered during the summer season.
*Please note, these are players our scouting staff was able to see throughout the summer. We know that there are many other uncommitted players who made an impact for their team as well. As always, please feel free to reach out to let us know how you performed and how we can make sure we see you during the fall.
Congratulations to the following 2024s on their great performances throughout the summer season.
