As the AFL steps away from its national hub-based academies, South Australia has designed its own state program around the two age groups to better prepare talent for next year&#8217;s Under 17 and 19 National Championships. The 50-player Academy allows players access to a concentrated high-performance program which is set to commence next month, with another camp due in January next year.\r\n\r\n<strong>&gt;&gt; SCROLL TO VIEW THE U17 &amp; U18 TALENT HUBS<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAmong the prominent names in the Under 18 squad is <strong>Jason Horne<\/strong>, who has made his claim as the current 2021 number one pick frontrunner. The South Adelaide midfielder has already gained SANFL League experience and shone with his speed and aerial marking. Fellow Panthers <strong>Matthew Roberts<\/strong> and <strong>Arlo Draper<\/strong> are other high-end prospects to feature, while Norwood premiership player <strong>Cooper Murley<\/strong> would also have been one of the first names picked.\r\n\r\nThere are a few notable players already tied to clubs too, with the likes of <strong>Jase Burgoyne<\/strong> (Port Adelaide, father-son), <strong>Isaiah Dudley<\/strong> (Adelaide, NGA), and <strong>Blayne O&#8217;Loughlin<\/strong> (Adelaide, NGA) all earning selection. Jase is the son of Port premiership player <em><strong>Peter<\/strong><\/em>, while Dudley is the cousin of Melbourne livewire <strong>Kysaiah Pickett<\/strong>, and O&#8217;Loughlin is the nephew of Sydney champion <em><strong>Michael<\/strong><\/em>.\r\n\r\nIn the Under-17 crop, <strong>Jaiden Magor<\/strong> looms as an early leader having starred in SA the Under 17 Futures game this year. <strong>Austin McDonald<\/strong> is another ball winning midfielder at the top end having already established himself as a key cog in Central District&#8217;s engine room, while <strong>Kobe Ryan<\/strong> is an outside type with terrific run and Westies teammate <strong>Tyson Coe<\/strong> featured at the 2019 Under 16s championships as an under-ager. <strong>Will Verrall<\/strong> and <strong>Isaac Keeler<\/strong> are a couple of exciting, mobile talls, and the latter is tied to Adelaide&#8217;s NGA.\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex
