I continue to be impressed with the players I watch and look forward to featuring more in the future.
Ben is currently ranked as our 3rd WR and 27th overall prospect in the class of 2026 for the state of Virginia. His sophomore campaign lived up to this ranking. He has very good height and solid body size and displays very good acceleration, good foot quickness, foot speed, lateral quickness, change of direction, and solid balance. He has good release off the line of scrimmage accelerating into his route. Shows the ability to run the entire route tree due to his good foot quickness, lateral agility, and speed, and has the ability to manipulate defenders in his route stems. He has very good hands, is able to catch in stride with his hands and body, and also shows very good adjustment to throws outside of his frame in all directions and good ability to secure a catch through contact. As a ball carrier, he is very elusive, utilizing his good COD to juke defenders, and his very good acceleration to run past them. He has two more seasons to develop, and I expect that he will be forcing schools to pay attention to him.
Highlights
Gabriel was heavily involved on defense his year. He plays a hybrid OLB/DB role, but his size will likely have colleges looking for him to play DB. He finished his junior season with 70 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 2 interceptions, while being named 1st Team All WCAC Metro on defense. He is a good athlete with good hand quickness, foot quickness, hip fluidity, solid COD, foot speed, and balance. You see his hand quickness at the LOS jamming WRs in their chest to disrupt their route. He has solid mirror in man coverage with good hip fluidity to turn and change direction to follow WRs. He has good vision and reaction in zone coverage keeping his head on a swivel and solid timing and ball skills to disrupt the pass. He plays with very good physical toughness in run support with a willingness to take on contact, and has good angle processing when closing on ball carriers with good tackling through the ball carrier.

Tight EndGood height and size as a TE. Solid athletic ability with good balance, explosiveness, strength, solid acceleration, foot speed, foot quickness, lateral agility, and elusiveness. Good initial footwork out of his stance, not taking false steps. Solid route runner can be utilized in the entire route tree, with very good zone processing to find a hole and provide a target for the QB. Good hands with very good adjust to throws outside of his frame. Good after the catch as a runner, with solid elusiveness, good contact balance and finish to fall forward when tackled. Shows a willingness to block, often utilizing his good explosiveness to put a shoulder into a defender to knock him off his feet when blocking inline and will utilize his hands when lead blocking downfield.
EDGE DefenderVery good height and solid size as an EDGE defender. Good hand placement to create leverage with very good explosion into the chest of offensive linemen with good ability to utilize his arms to keep them out of his chest, and good block shed utilizing Rip and Swim moves. Good balance to stay on his feet when shedding blocks with good angles to QB and RBs with good tackling by wrapping up and driving the ball carrier to the ground. Projects to be a G5 to lower P5 Prospect as a Power EDGE.
Don’t let his smaller size distract you from Walker’s physical toughness. He runs with good vision, run strength, and contact balance through the hole, keeping his feet through traffic and not getting slowed down by arm tackles. He has solid speed and quickness to beat defensive linemen to the edge in outside running and shows solid elusiveness in the open field with a solid jump cut past defenders. He shows solid hands and can run solid shallow routes and screens out of the backfield. Is a willing blocker and will look to make blocks downfield when he does not have the ball.

Michael has solid height and size with good athletic ability with good speed, foot quickness, elusiveness, lateral quickness, strength, and solid balance. He has good burst, displaying good patience and ability to plant foot and take off with good acceleration through the hole. Solid balance to stay on feet while running with good physical toughness and contact strength, and rarely is taken down at first contact. He is elusive in the open field with good top-end speed that can outrun most defensive backs. Displays good hands and can provide a target for the QB out of the backfield and shows willingness to block and keep his QB protected from the blitz. Hudl / Twitter
