Preston's range of scholarship opportunities varies dramatically, some say he's a PSAC kid, and some, like myself, think he's an FBS kid. Recent offers out of Charlotte and Shippensburg, Preston eventually pulled the trigger on a great opportunity with the Mountaineers. Douglas County's Jacob Boyce is an early enrollee at CB, WV also brought in PA prospect Jason Cross, who is likely to also play DB.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d381b82965f"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MikeyPreston6/status/1720455480017871184","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MikeyPreston6/status/1720455480017871184 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557810"],"_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":"u003ch2u003eu003cemu003eNEWS - 1/26u003c/emu003eu003c/h2u003ernJackson, formerly out of Simon Gratz, announced his commitment to Shippensburg University on January 26th.

I do know of the quality tape this young man put out on Hudl this past Fall. I've seen him in person on more than two occasions, presence was felt each time. I like the kid enough to rank him inside the Top 200, practically a Division One grade. Maybe many question his size, that's a question that varies among particular suitors, especially ones that want him playing in the front-seven. He's a kid I'd bet on, however.

Coach Nyeem Wartman, the DL Coach out of Akron, has done his part recruiting the right names out of Philadelphia. [player_tooltip player_id='1091189' first='Lazaryus' last='Toombs'] is an ideal offer candidate, he recently spoke with Wartman just a week prior to writing, with Wartman extending the 6'3, 235-pound DE an scholly offer. Toombs missed the top 20 DL cut by one spot, yet he's likely to see more G5s call his number soon. Expect Temple and the likes of Marshall/Charlotte to inquire before or during Spring.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d381b829aa6"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["598902"],"_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":"u003ch2u003eu003cemu003eNEWS - 2/8u003c/emu003eu003c/h2u003ernAkron came through and offered both Toombs and Simmons. Simmons grades out slightly higher than Toombs strictly based on tape, which makes sense as to why Marshall also came through and offered Simmons on the same day as Akron. You talk about the standard the program has built, you talk about the track record of DL that come have walked the halls at Roman, both Toombs and Simmons are already ahead of the curve before the offers started coming in. Hard work on the field, in the classroom and weightroom, the right eyes will eventually find you, I'm a firm believer of this. Excited to see Simmons put on additional weight this offseason, not much is needed if I'm being honest, especially if he is getting recruited to play OLB.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d381b829b34"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaasaiMSimmons/status/1755734198063657043","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaasaiMSimmons/status/1755734198063657043 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["855288"],"_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":"u003ch2u003eu003cemu003eNEWS - 2/16u003c/emu003eu003c/h2u003ernOne of the few rankings I ever changed mid-update.

Akron added Beals to the offer sheet after offering many Cahillites this Winter. The u0022bigu0022 splash came on February 5th, when Colorado picked up the phone and offered Beals.
