<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Pivoting later this week to the highly anticipated Highland Springs vs. Freedom-Woodbridge matchup as I wanted to talk about a few more 2024 prospects. While the recruiting world is far different from the mid 2010s that does not mean that deserving seniors are not going to get their opportunities. Many kids have expressed their frustration with the Transfer portal and how it affects seniors in high schools arguably more than anyone else. Colleges/Universities are holding more scholarships now than ever due to the fact that the Transfer portal nearly multiplies daily with kids entering their name throughout the country. While that seems to be incurring I believe the biggest adjustment comes from the waiting period that top notch football players may not be used too. Sure that can be super frustrating if one is in that position, but that does not mean their offers are not coming. Case in point Woodbridge all region receiver Denzel Lambert, just this week he announced his commitment to Saint Frances University! What I am trying to say is that more deserving kids are going to get their opportunities, the keyword is patience, with that here are more 2024s for you to keep in mind:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Braden Boggs","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Battlefield","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Battlefield all state receiver Braden Boggs finished his career with the Bobcats in style with an outstanding senior campaign.

Really like the motor on this young man, you can see his heart an effort on each play when you watch his tape. He is not one to be lost in the shuffle on a squad that possesses many FBS level players in Aidan Billings and [player_tooltip player_id='630625' first='Colin' last='Rutland'] to name a few. While he is hair small at 5'9 his strength and speed make up for that, I could easily see him playing division 2 or 3 football next fall.rnrnhttps://x.com/kevin_velez75/status/1732114854696079745?s=20","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"Jack Schnabel","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"South Lakes","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_4_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_4_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"The Seahawks perfect season may be over but the opportunity for Jack Schnabel and his teammates to get more offers is not. Schnabel is an outstanding safety who had 8 pass break ups this past fall on his way to a first team all region selection. You can see on tape his 4.5 40 speed and the amount of field he is able to cover, he has everything you would want in a safety. He also boast a 4.15 GPA, time for you start paying attention to this all-star!rnrnhttps://x.com/schnabel_jack/status/1725344737237090343?s=20","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"Joshua Rahim","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"2024","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"Hylton","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_5_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_5_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"To be honest covering high school football where I live now in Prince William County I became a fan of all the local schools and Hylton was no exception. The Bulldogs had a fun mid-season run to snap their losing streak and are poised for a bright future next fall. One of their senior leaders was receiver Joshua Rahim who nearly took it upon himself to stop the losing streak. Here is my film breakdown of him from earlier this season:rnrnPossibly one of the most overlooked class of 2024 recruits in the entire Cardinal District is this young man Joshua Rahim. Standing at 6'3 with a 40 under 4.7, Rahim should start to get more college coaches attention very shortly. What is fun to watch about him is he is a team first player, you can see in their big win last week, he was concerned with only one thing, getting the victory. He certainly helped in that too, with a big touchdown catch late in the game to help the Bulldogs snap their losing streak. With interest from Ferrum College and UNCP already, I could see this young man playing major division 2 football next fall.rnrnhttps://twitter.com/JoshuaRahim77/status/1697675602344415343?s=20","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6570c660b93cb"} /-->
