Six Pack of Georgia ’28 Athletes That Have Caught My Eye – 3/7/24

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As I prepare to start the deep dive into the Georgia class of 2028 prospects, there will be a ton of Georgia content coming up over the next weeks/months. Today, we'll look at six prospects in Georgia that are best-labeled as ATH's or Athletes because their skill set translates to several different positions at this point. Over the next four years of high school, some may lose that "ATH'' distinction but these these kids can play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1202496"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1202496' first='Jordin' last='Edwards'] has only been playing football for a few years but the late start has seemingly done nothing to slow his upward trajectory on the gridiron. Following his first year of middle school football as a seventh-grader, Edwards was named Stockbridge Middle School's Defensive Player of the Year. His ability to knock the block off the opposition on from the secondary or linebacker position makes my defensive heart happy. That said, Edwards is also the starting quarterback from Stockbrige and he's a lot to deal with there, too. Obviously Cam Newton has been in the news for the wrong reasons lately, but he's also the most well-known player I can compare Edwards' skill set to. He's big, strong, physical and has the ability to tear open the suit and become Superman at any time.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["1202316"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"North Cobb was absolutely loaded this year from a talent standpoint, and it showed in their 8-2 season record. On a team with a lot of talent, one of the more under the radar prospects that I think has a big upside is [player_tooltip player_id='1202316' first='Iago' last='Guimaraes']. He's listed at 6-foot-1 and 160 pounds, but Guimaraes looks thicker than that to my bare eye. His body translates to a number of different positions at this point. Guimaraes looked best to me as a bigger wide receiver that can head tap in the endzone or live in that short-to-intermediate passing game. With his size and length, he also made some good plays as an outside linebacker in both coverage and on tackles. He's looked good early in the 7v7 season, too. Development will be key here, but it wouldn't shock me to see him end up as a wide receiver, tight end, defensive end, outside linebacker or even strong safety.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1201841"],"_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":"I have very little doubt that freaky 2028 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1201841' first='Braxton' last='Rein'] of Starr's Mill will be playing a high level of college footballu002du002dto me it's at what position will he be playing. He's already a legitimate 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds, which is two inches taller and 25 pounds heavier than his older brother Brock Rein, who is a Georgia baseball commit. His size is off the chart and his ability is equally or even more impressive. He did a bit of everything this past season, including lining up in the backfield and playing middle linebacker on the defensive side of the ball. While I can't totally rule out him playing defensive end in the future because of his size, he looks like the next big time tight end to come out of Fayette County. His size, hands, ability to block and ever-incresing agility and speed translate perfectly to a tight end. Then again, there are plenty of big-bodied wide receivers in college and professional football right now. Either way, he's a personal favorite of mine.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["410867"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='410867' first='Allan' last='Moise'] is prospect I believe I first wrote something about, back in August 2022. At 6-foot and 170 pounds, Moise has seemingly found a home as a wide receiver and even came home with a B2C Career Award for his contributions. Obviously the production has always been there as a member of the Lawrenceville Black Knights and I don't expect that to change, though he'll have to keep pushing forward. I've watched every clip that of Moise that I can find and he's making obvious strides (pun intended) in his route running and overall full body functional movement. He's physically developed beyond grade level at this point, but how much taller he grows and how fast he ultimately gets, will help shape where he plays in the future. Defensively he has always played defensive end, but again depending on growth and speedu002du002dis he an outside linebacker? Edge? Safety? Regardless, it'll be fun to watch and find out, because Moise is entering high school after a very good middle school/youth career.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["1203818"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"Straight outta Fulton County, Mount Pisgah Christian School's [player_tooltip player_id='1203818' first='Andrew' last='Cochran'] was all that and then some this year. He's listed anywhere between 5-foot-10 and 6-foot and anywhere from 150-to-160-pounds, so while the size varies a decent amount, his ability does not. Like several other kids in this write up about impressive Athletes, it should come as no surprise that football isn't even his best sportu002du002dit's baseball. However, on the gridiron, his game is personified by speed. In early August 2023, ahead of his eighth-grade season and at just 13 years old, Cochran was hand-timed at a 4.54 in the forty yard dash. While a hand time is only as accurate as the guy with the thumb and the timer, watching his film from this year backed it up. He did it for the Patriots in 2023, lining up as wide receiver, running back, quarterback, multiple positions in the secondary and even as the punter. My heart and brain lean towards wide receiver on the football field, but my gut says he'll be a centerfielder on a baseball diamond on the next level.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1203922"],"_player_evaluations_5_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_5_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_5_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"Fresh off playing up in the Northeast Georgia Classic as an eighth-grader against some of the top freshman in the state, Sajere is an intriguing prospect to know about out of Piney Grove. Inching closer to 6-feet every day, he comes with a high school-ready body right now and checks the box at a number of different positions. He primarily played receiver this past season but was lined up in the slot, at wing back or put in short motion or on the bulk of his film. Not sure if he was hampered by an injury at some point of the season, but in some games he appeared to have a little bit extra burst that allowed him to pull away when he had the rock. Fast forward to 7v7 this season and I really like the physical style of his play in the defensive secondary.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65ea111b81ac3"} /-->
