<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have spent time on the Virginia classes of 2025 and 2027 but I wanted to pivot back to remind you, this 2026 class is full of playmakers below:</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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1209639' first='Jem' last='Sandino']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"220","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2407","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Woodson","_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":"Woodson has a 6'4 220 tight end who you can build your offense around in [player_tooltip player_id='1209639' first='Jem' last='Sandino']. Earning honorable mention all district honors as a sophomore last fall, Sandino is on the cusp on being a really problem for the entire region. He can run very well, most of his receptions you see plenty of yards after the catch this kid knows how to create separation. Sandino should be the Cavaliers primary weapon on offense for 2024, he is excellent route runner and knows how to find a hole in any defense. A 3.7 GPA he is another student of the game that will be creating havoc for defensive coordinators everywhere.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/video/3/18463500/654835502352620a404d51c8u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1209639' first='Jem' last='Sandino'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1298541' first='Deon' last='Hallback']","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"195","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"Monacan","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_1_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_1_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"Monacan quarterback/defensive back/three sport star [player_tooltip player_id='1298541' first='Deon' last='Hallback'] is one to watch out of this entire group. He is 5'10 195 lbs. and a dual threat qb who tossed for 24 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2023. Hallback looks like he can make every throw in the route tree, you can tell on his tape alone that the young man is putting in work. Running a 4.7 40 you can see why he excels in football, track and baseball he is not limited to anything. A 4.0 GPA he has the makings of playing at least in the FCS level in a couple of years, but his ceiling could be higher.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17791107/654db8050dc9ed05e818f631u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1298541' first='Deon' last='Hallback'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["295788"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"Head Coach Obie Woods is bringing in some of best talent in the state and newly enrolled defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='295788' first='Kwalei' last='Carter'] is the latest. The all region selection transferring in from Patrick Henry high school nabbed 6 interceptions last fall and will continue to do lock down wideouts this year in the East Coast Power Prep Conference. Carter has all the makings to be a division 1 corner and he is in the right program to take him to the next level. Not only is he a standout defensive back, the young man makes plays at receiver and even dabbling at quarterback, he is multi-talented. With the quarterback and receiver spots looking very strong for VA Academy, Carter can focus where he possibly play FBS football at on defense.rnrnu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/video/3/14537799/65cf40d3f56a070e30780348u0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='295788' first='Kwalei' last='Carter'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["212459"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"The all state defensive back North Cross [player_tooltip player_id='212459' first='Jase' last='Rhodes'] was already on a leaderboard last year as one of the top recruits, since then his stock has continue to skyrocket. When he is not locking down the top wideouts in his region, Rhodes is excelling in track as he just won the indoor state title in the triple jump and will be a heavy favorite to win states once outdoor season begins. He is a special talent one who is sure to soar up rankings coming soon.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ca href=u0022https://www.hudl.com/video/3/17947199/655f1855176208093808135au0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='212459' first='Jase' last='Rhodes'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1298281' first='David' last='Castillo']","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_4_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_4_player_details_school":"Herndon","_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":"Herndon is in line for another playoff run in 2024 with many stars returning on both sides of the ball. Running back [player_tooltip player_id='1298281' first='David' last='Castillo'] has a chance to join them with a stellar Junior season, he is a tough back. A north/south runner Castillo doesn't dance or hesitate once he sees a hole he is gone. Good speed and size at 5'10 180 lbs., Castillo core strength his legs standout he is constantly chopping his feet. What I enjoyed most about his tape was the way he improved as the season went on, he looked fresh as the season and weather changed, you do not see that often from backs his age. The Hornets are surefire contenders in the Liberty district in 2024, the development of players like this guy should only bolster their chances.u003cbru003eu003cbru003eu003ca href=u0022http://www.hudl.com/v/2NQJaru0022u003e[player_tooltip player_id='1298281' first='David' last='Castillo'] HUDLu003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65f09e8f92dd1"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prepredzone is coming in with 7v7 and camps very soon to RSVP or find out more you can go here <a href="http://Events- Prep Redzone">http://Events- Prep Redzone</a>.
