Continue ReadingThe 2027 high school football prospects are a group of talented young athletes who have the potential to make a significant impact in the world of football. As they continue to develop their skills and gain experience, these prospects are garnering attention from college recruiters and scouts. In this scouting report, we will take a closer look at some of the standout players in this class, highlighting their strengths and overall potential.
He’s the type of player his frame would suggest, with solid knee bend, a low center of gravity, a physical approach and very impressive contact balance to break tackles. As a runner, he is decisive with smooth acceleration, minimizing negative-yardage plays. His combination of patience, vision, decisiveness and lower-body strength is impressive, and he finishes runs by consistently falling forward. He runs with decisiveness and shows enough foot quickness and vision to shuffle into lanes when dealing with congestion.
He’s also one of the smoothest athletes at the position, with nice transitions and solid stickiness through the stem when working in man coverage. Baker plays with quick feet and a sense of urgency and competitiveness, whether covering from the slot or playing downhill. He flows well to the football when playing downhill and reads keys quickly when aligned over twins/trips looks.

Jackson is a exciting playmaker. He can take snaps both inside and outside and offers an impressive radius with good awareness and footwork when working near the boundary. His size and focus allowed him to come down with contested catches, and he has enough explosiveness to uncover downfield, tracking the ball well. He runs hard after the catch and was able to break some tackles and grind out tough yardage to move the chains.

Highly athletic, twitchy linebacker with the explosive downhill speed to disrupt the inside running game, and who offers true sideline-to-sideline range, playing with a sense of urgency. Diagnoses with solid discipline, avoiding taking many false steps. Generally does a nice job of keeping his shoulders square to the line when playing between the tackles. Has the lateral quickness to work through traffic to the ball. Flexible player who has very good short-area quickness to slither through some tight spaces to make the tackle.
He brings a one-cut-and-go style on stretch runs to the outside, waiting for his gap to open before planting his foot and getting downhill in a blink. He’s a hard charger downhill whose sudden movement gives him access to small slivers of space in the defensive line. He shows good patience to follow his blockers and wait for the hole to open up, chopping his feet quickly to pick his way through the trash. He uses a hesitation rocker step to get linebackers false-stepping before screaming right by.
