No. 7: Jackson Humphries
The top ranked southpaw in North Carolina checks in with the 7th most viewed profile of 2021. A member of Team Carolina at the 2020 Future Games, Humphries has continued to progress over the last year.
He helped lead Fuquay-Varina to a 4A State Championship last spring and had continued success throughout the summer and fall. He ran his fastball up to 93 mph at the Carolinas Top Prospect Games in August. The Campbell commit will have plenty of pro eyes on him in the spring of 2022.
