Those moves range from a one-spot climb for Destrehan edge rusher Kolaj Cobbins Kolaj Cobbins 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Destrehan | 2024 State LA from No. 4 to No. 3 to a huge leap of 81 spots by speedy Edna Karr wide receiver Rahji Dennis Rahji Dennis 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR Edna Karr | 2024 State LA .
Here are a few notes on the five biggest jumps into the No. 51-100 range.
No. 61 Nate Green Nate Green 6'4" | 245 lbs | OL West Monroe | 2024 State LA | 6-4, 245 OL/TE | West Monroe (Louisiana Tech)
The Rebels’ big tight end made a big jump in the previous rankings update earlier this year based on his potential to develop full-time into an offensive lineman and climbs a little further this time around after getting strong college camp work and performing well in that role and ultimately receiving and committing to a Louisiana Tech offer.
No. 70 Tate Hamby Tate Hamby 6'1" | 180 lbs | ATH Ouachita Christian | 2024 State LA | 6-1, 180 ATH | Ouachita Christian (Vanderbilt)
Vanderbilt found a potential steal in northeast Louisiana last month when the Eagles’ four-sport, three-phase standout announced his commitment last month. Hamby is a long, athletic safety prospect — a state champion long-jumper and state finalist high- and triple-jumper — with great ball skills he showcased on both sides of ball throughout the football team’s state championship run this past fall.
No. 80 Will Loerzel Will Loerzel 6'3" | 220 lbs | TE Newman | 2024 State LA | 6-4, 240 TE | Isidore Newman
The Greenies’ big defensive end, tight end and all-around senior leader garnered the praise of his coaches and teammates and recruiting attention from Army, Southern Miss, South Alabama, Southeastern Louisiana and others. He said continuing to improve his receiving skillset was a priority this offseason, and he looked good getting open and catching passes throughout spring, college camps and in 7-on-7 tournaments.
No. 83 Raymond Howard Raymond Howard 6'3" | 275 lbs | OL Archbishop Shaw | 2024 State LA | 6-3, 275 OL | Archbishop Shaw
Another member of Archbishop Shaw’s rising senior class who continues to climb the rankings. Howard is the Eagles’ top-ranked offensive prospect, a smart, tenacious blocker with offers from Air Force, Navy, Cornell, Nicholls State and Southeastern Louisiana.
No. 92 Hezekiah Dantzler Hezekiah Dantzler 5'11" | 160 lbs | ATH Madison Prep | 2024 State LA | 6-0, 170 ATH | Madison Prep
Dantzler has developed from a a thin young athlete first on Prep Redzone Louisiana’s radar after some reps late in a scrimmage freshman year into major two-way playmaker and leader for the Chargers. He stood out throughout the offseason from a jarring hit on defense in spring game to the route-running and vertical threat he brought to the offense every 7-on-7 matchup throughout June.
