Savannah (Ga.) Benedictine Military five-star EDGE LaDamion Guyton is hitting the fast-forward button on his high school career and his recruitment.

The 6-foot-3, 240-pounder is reclassifying up to the 2026 cycle. He has long been the No. 1 overall prospect in the 2027 cycle, per the Rivals Industry Ranking, but will now be playing his last season at the high school level this fall.

LaDamion Guyton Scouting Summary

Rivals’ Director of Scouting and Rankings previously wrote this of Guyton as a 2027 prospect:

“The early favorite as the top EDGE prospect in the 2027 cycle. Explosive, powerful pass rusher with elite bend around the edge at an early stage. Flashes high-end first-step quickness. Stays very low while running the arc, dipping his shoulder to shirk offensive tackles. Converts speed to power with ease. Also shows early signs of good hand usage, quickly disengaging on contact. Plays with a high motor and pursues plays from sideline to sideline. Productive in his first two varsity seasons at Savannah (Ga.) Savannah Christian, totaling 33 tackles for loss while playing alongside Five-Star Plus+ defensive lineman Elijah Griffin. Transferred to Savannah (Ga.) Benedictine Military for his junior season. Can improve his finishing ability in the backfield, as his ability to disrupt doesn’t always manifest in dominant stats. Length and frame are average for the position.”
