Uncommitted Spotlight: '26 OF/LHP Cayden Prestage
August 22, 2025
With the summer coming to a close and we settle into the fall with a brand-new school year, our focus is still on uncommitted prospects in the Classes of 2026 and 2027. As these prospects enter their final two years of high school, there are still many talented upperclassmen still on the market that may have been "overlooked" or are currently "flying under the radar" and looking for a place to play at the next level.
Be on the lookout as we begin to highlight uncommitted prospects in the state of Mississippi each week throughout the remainder of the fall.
