Dauntless Bodyguard is the less sure of the 1-drops, all options are whatever, but I like the idea of making Midrange and control life more difficult with him in the deck. Another option is Mardu Woe-Reaper, but I just think the choice of the 1-drop here won't change much anyway.
Charming Prince proves to be great with Ref Mage and Lieutenant, nothing surprising.
12 3-cmc creatures may seem a lot, but I had no problem casting my dudes with 21 lands. they're all so strong that I want to play them all.
The deck doesn't splash green for Coco, and I think it wouldn't make the deck better. A least there's a decent chance the best Coco deck is not tribal Humans. On the other hand, playing only white reduces the power of the deck.
Thanks for sharing. I've been playing some mono W Humans and it seems to be lacking. Mantis Rider and Reflector Mage are such strong cards in this format.
Maybe its just me but Glory-Bound Initiate seems a bit weak. Only attacking every other turn is too big a drawback. Not sure what I would slot in that position though.
I may have to try your deck out at some point. Best wishes.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Charming Prince comes handy when he can reset an exerted GBI ! Besides, I don't always exert him, only when I need to gain life or to get passed a big blocker.
I'm not sure what I could play instead as well. Tomik is better than it seems, his stats alone are impressive (2/3 flying for 2). Lavinia can be useful in a few MUs. Otherwise more 1-drops is also an option. As long as I stay in white for Brave (otherwise Warkite Marauder would be a nice spice).

Giant Killer is narrow but could be in place of Declaration in Stone.

Isn't 25x lands too much for an aggro deck ?You can play Knight of the White Orchid in your 2-drop slot and cut down on lands.
If you're looking for an aggressive 2-drop there is Honored Crop-Captain (Consul's Lieutenant is also similar).
Tithe Taker can potentially be good (as a taxing resilient creature) as well and Imposing Sovereign can help avoid blockers.
There are some situationally useful creatures like: Humble Defector (good with Prince) and Dire Fleet Daredevil.
Some more potentially playable 2-drops can be:
Robber of the Rich, Hanweir Militia Captain, Kari Zev, Skyship Raider, Wojek Halberdiers, Skyknight Vanguard, Precinct Captain and Swiftblade Vindicator/Boros Swiftblade.
Some Strong 3-drops to consider are:
Tajic, Legion's Edge and Thalia, Heretic Cathar that provide some advatage besides combat stats unlike Marshal.
Hanweir Garrison can also be very good and help go wide on its own and Lyev Skyknight is a decent evasive threat that can "detain" a creature (or PW) for a turn.
Some other potentially playabe 3-drops can be: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death and Devoted Crop-Mate which can reanimate smaller creatures.
Mentor of the Meek probably fits a build with a lower curve but is also a creature to consider for some card advantage (same with Militia Bugler).
I know Humans pretty well, the cards you mention have been put aside for the ones I choose to play.
