Prattville's Jayden Milledge commits to Troy's rising 2027 class

Prattville defensive end Jayden Milledge committed to Troy on June 19, giving the Trojans another Autauga County prospect in their 2027 class. The choice keeps a Prattville High player close to home and reinforces how often the school’s football program is drawing college attention from across the state. It also arrives as Troy’s 2027 group keeps growing, with 15 commitments and a No. 106 national ranking on 247Sports as of July 1.

Milledge is listed by 247Sports as an edge prospect from Prattville at about 6-foot-3 and 227 pounds. On3 lists him as a defensive lineman at 6-foot-1.5 and 270 pounds, with an industry rating of 82.33 and a national rank of 1,320. Hudl identifies him as a Prattville High School boys varsity football player listed at DE and DT in the class of 2027.

Troy was the first school in the group to offer Milledge, sending that offer on Feb. 9, 2026. 247Sports’ timeline shows the recruitment widened after that, with offers also coming from Samford, Mercer, North Alabama, Georgia State, Florida, FIU and Jacksonville State. Milledge also visited Auburn in March and said the energy on campus was “amazing,” a sign that his recruitment had stretched beyond the Sun Belt and into the SEC.

Milledge’s commitment fits a broader run for Prattville football, which has been getting renewed attention as a source of college-ready linemen. Local recruiting coverage had already pointed to his recruitment as part of that spotlight, and his pledge gives Troy another in-state name to sell to future prospects across Autauga County and the River Region. For Prattville, it is another reminder that the program is sending big bodies and big expectations into the next level.
