<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletes in the class of 2028 are just heading into the seventh-grade this school year. However, there are over a dozen prospects in this class that already have verbal scholarship offers. Furthermore, there are hundreds of athletes in this class that nobody has even heard of yet, that WILL be scholarship players down the line. Here's a look at some to take note of, very early.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f54efb7e772","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["410867"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Right now I have Moise listed as a Defensive Lineman because of his play at Defensive End.  He could very easily be listed as a Tight End, because he plays both positions at a high level.  He has great size for a class of 2028 prospect (he will be in the seventh-grade during the 22-23 school year) already standing 5-foot-10 and 165-pounds. He's a long, strong kid who dominates the competition locally and on the 7-on-7 scene. Has already camped at Clemson, among other schools.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-65c5585defa52"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f54f967e774","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["288929"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"After reclassing to the 2028 class, Vargas has to be at the top, or near the top, of nearly every Quarterback list in the class of 2028. The 6-foot-1, 145-pound signal caller is a stud, there's no other way to put it.  At this point, I'd put his arm up against anybody else out there in terms of having the ability to hit all areas of the field with ease. Got an opportunity to watch him this summer and left very confident in his ability as a pocket passer. That's not to say he can't scramble, because Vargas is a great athlete. Also a standout on the hardwood as well. Looking forward to what he does this season, as he'll have to top a Pop Warner season where he led his team all the way to the Northeast Regional championship game, before bowing out. If he continues on this trajectory, I can see Vargas as an early-offer type of kid. Stay tuned.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"edit","anchor":"acf-block-65c5585defa87"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f550a97e775","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412019"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"If I'm starting a team of 2028 prospects from New Jersey, it would extremely difficult for me to not have Tagliaferri on the roster as a Quarterback. For just entering seventh-grade, he is an extremely mature young man who is very serious about the game of football. Was able to watch him compete closely this summer and whether he threw a beautiful touchdown pass or an interception, his demeanor wouldn't change. There's an u0022It-Factoru0022 to the young righty, that few at this level possess. He should have every private school in New Jersey wanting him to suit up in a few years. Lastly, his older sister Frankie was a two-time All-American soccer player in college, and is now playing professionally or the NC Courage of the National Women's Soccer League.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-65c5585defaaf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f557b20689b","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412027"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"The Athlete position is truly the best one to describe Wooten and where he plays on the football field. The Killeen native lines up all over the field for the Central Texas Grey Wolves, including Wide Receiver, Running Back, Linebacker, Safety and basically anywhere else he's asked to. At 5-foot-10 and 160-pounds with a good build, there isn't much he can't accomplish on the football field at this level. Plays with a lot of aggression which leads me to believe Outside Linebacker could be the ultimate landing spot for Wooten, but there's a long way to go.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-65c5585defad3"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f557c30689c","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["366529"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A physical force on the Defensive Line at this point, the 6-foot-1, 190-pound Hopkins rarely struggles against local competition in the greater Charlotte area. Has started to dabble in the weight room and it shows with his violent hands and strikes coming off the edge as a Defensive End. Understands the importance of hand placement and keeping forward momentum at the point of contact. Also the reigning Union County 170-pound Wrestling Champion as well.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-65c5585defaf4"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f55bc40689d","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412072"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Sharpe Jr. is like a lot of kids early on in this 2028 class that can play any, and all, positions at a high level. On the seventh-grade level it's often whoever has the most dominant athlete tends to win most games and that's what Sharpe Jr. is ...dominant. At 5-foot-10 and 160-pounds, Sharpe Jr. is a Running Back/Linebacker type that is simply stronger than the large majority of kids he plays against. As a Linebacker, has a jam that will know the breath out of most, and can turn and run in coverage. As a Running Back, he's a downhill guy who hits another gear in the second level and beyond. Physical kid on both sides of the ball.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-65c5585defb17"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f55d9bc206b","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["412080"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"If you play for the Maryland Heat football organization, there's a good chance you're one of the better players in the greater DMV area. That's exactly what I see when looking at Shakir. The 6-foot-2, 245-pound seventh-grader plays Tackle for the Heat and has all the makings of a future star at the position. In several clips I've seen, he climbs to the next level to seal off Linebacker's better than most High School Offensive Lineman do. He's unassumingly quick for a big (young) man, which is another trait most next-level linemen possess. Needs to work a bit on keeping his pad level lower as he progresses through level of football, but he's got plenty of time to fix the little things. He's another young man that should have nearly every head coach in the WCAC hoping he chooses their school.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview","anchor":"acf-block-65c5585defb3e"} /-->
