Emmanuel Forbes Jr. shows loyalty to Grenada High School

Los Angeles Rams defensive back Emmanuel Forbes Jr. recently reaffirmed his loyalty to his alma mater, Grenada High School, during a team media event. When prompted by the Rams' media team to praise his high school rival, South Panola, Forbes declined, stating, “Never. Never. Grenada High all the way. Go Chargers!”

Forbes, a former Mississippi State standout and first-round NFL draft pick, is entering his fourth professional season. After being released by the Washington Commanders in late 2024, he joined the Rams, where he appeared in 17 games last season.

In separate Mississippi sports news, the state's high school football top 25 rankings for the start of the season have been released. Tupelo holds the number one spot following a victory over Brandon. Other notable movements include Starkville and Louisville climbing into the top 10, while Jackson Prep and Hartfield Academy saw significant jumps in the rankings.
