ST. PETERSBURG, FL — One of the more intriguing under-the-radar prospects in the Class of 2028 is starting to gain serious traction. Alex McCollough, a versatile WR/SS, is expected to make a major leap this upcoming season following his transfer from Wiregrass High School to St. Petersburg Catholic High School.
McCollough has already begun turning heads with a growing list of Division I offers, but many believe he’s just scratching the surface of his potential. At his size and with his athletic build, he presents a unique matchup problem on both sides of the ball. Coaches consistently praise his frame, physicality, and ability to impact the game in multiple ways as a true two-way player.
Whether lined up at wide receiver creating separation and making plays in space, or on defense at safety using his instincts and range, McCollough brings a level of versatility that few prospects in his class can match. His ability to contribute in all phases of the game makes him a valuable asset and a player college programs are beginning to monitor closely.
The move to St. Petersburg Catholic could be the catalyst that elevates his recruitment even further. Surrounded by a higher caliber of competition and talent, McCollough is stepping into an environment that should allow him to fully showcase his skillset on a bigger stage.
Preps Next projects McCollough to break out in a big way this season, with expectations that his offer sheet will expand significantly as more programs take notice. With his combination of size, athleticism, and versatility, he’s a name that won’t stay under the radar for long.
