2024 Sleepers in the Trenches

I have identified five prospects whose tape should be receiving more regional attention. It may take a dominant senior year to boost their recruitments, but I believe these prospects have shown enough to prove they can impact a defense at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819542"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='819542' first='Trenton' last='Ross'] is a staple on Spanish Springs' defense.
