<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we are in the midst of the 2024 high school football offseason, a new senior class is approaching their final season. With that being said, I wanted to highlight some players at each position that deserve and are still seeking their first college offer. After already covering the offensive side of the ball, I have now turned my attention to the defensive side of the ball. With the defensive linemen and linebackers out of the way, here are some defensive backs in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky that still need offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["735618"],"_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='735618' first='Jackson' last='Dillow'] is a player that has been on my radar for a while now and continued to impress this past season. Dillow lines up at safety where he is a ball hawk in pass coverage. He does a great job of reading the quarterback and route combinations then breaking on the ball with perfecting timing to make a play. Dillow finished this past season with three interceptions in 12 games, returning two of them for touchdowns. He has also shown the ability to provide support against the run, finishing his junior year with 31 tackles. I expect some offers to come Jackson's way soon as he has received some college interest and definitely has the talent to play at the next level.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["735615"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='735615' first='Javion' last='Wallace'] is another defensive back that has been on my radar for a while now that continued to stand out this past season. Wallace lines up at corner where he is very reliable in man coverage. He does a great job of opening up and running with receivers to mirror their routes. When the ball is thrown his way, Wallace has shown impressive ball skills, finishing this past season with three interceptions in 13 games. He also showed the ability to make plays against the run, finishing the season with 20 tackles. Wallace has already received some college interest and I expect more eyes to be on him heading into his senior year.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["735619"],"_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":"[player_tooltip player_id='735619' first='Deonte' last='Stevens'] is another defensive back that continued to catch my attention this past season.

He finished this past season with 101 tackles and two tackles for loss in 13 games. Stevens has also proven to be reliable against the pass, showing the ability to read route combinations and put himself in position to make plays on the ball. He also scored one rushing touchdown this past season. I wouldn't be surprised to see an offer come for Stevens soon as he has received some college interest and has the talent to play at the next level.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1149589"],"_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":"My final defensive back in this series is [player_tooltip player_id='1149589' first='Julian' last='Stafford'] from Martin County.

As we are in the midst of the 2024 high school football offseason, a new senior class is approaching their final season. With that being said, I wanted to highlight some players at each position that deserve and are still seeking their first college offer. After already covering the offensive side of the ball, I have now turned my attention to the defensive side of the ball. With the defensive linemen and linebackers out of the way, here are some defensive backs in the class of 2025 in the state of Kentucky that still need offers.
