2024 Class: Biggest Risers

As we dive into the 2024 class, we aim to bring you all of the great talents within. This class holds some of the best players in the country, as we release the PrepRedzone 2024 class rankings. Here are the players that made the biggest jumps in the rankings. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="172515" first="Vaboue" last="Toure"], Defensive Back, Irvington</strong> <strong><em>Change: 4th overall player to 1st</em></strong> If you need a defensive back who can do literally everything at a high level on the football field look no further than [player_tooltip player_id="172515" first="Vaboue" last="Toure"]. He has the ability to wreak havoc at or behind the line of scrimmage as he is an exceptional tackler in run defense. He also has the ability to fight through blocks and make tackles on screen passes. His play in coverage is something to behold. A ballhawk in zone, able to effectively read quarterbacks’ eyes and grab many interceptions. His play in man is just as impressive. Shows the ability to stay in phase with wide receivers and tight ends and is able to consistently alter the catch point due to good arm length, which results in good ball production. He has all the tools to be a top-flight cornerback or safety, but with the makeup speed that he possesses, cornerback will be his best position, when he reaches college. With offers from Alabama and Notre Dame, we will see him displaying his talents on major college football stages in the future. &nbsp; <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://twitter.com/IrvingtonHS_FB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@IrvingtonHS_FB</a> defensive back <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/VaboueToure?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#VaboueToure</a> intercepts a pass thrown by <a href="https://twitter.com/NHFB_LIVE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NHFB_LIVE</a> QB <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/EnzoArjona?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#EnzoArjona</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/NorthGroup4RegionalFinal?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#NorthGroup4RegionalFinal</a> <a href="https://t.co/MeGm9mPcnX">pic.twitter.com/MeGm9mPcnX</a></p> — InsideThePressBoxEDFS (@InsideThePB) <a href="https://twitter.com/InsideThePB/status/1467309642061688841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 5, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">[player_tooltip player_id="172515" first="Vaboue" last="Toure"] <a href="https://twitter.com/VabxToure?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@VabxToure</a> Class of 2024 6’1 185lbs ATHLETE(Corner/Safety/ Linebacker/RB) Raw talent, lengthy kid, high ceiling!

He can make any throw and can make timely plays with his legs and out of structure. He rushed, passed, and caught touchdowns this past season and amassed over 1,000 yards passing and over 1300 yards rushing on his way to breaking school records.
