<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the update to the 2026 class coming out last week, we thought it was important to highlight the guys carrying the rock in the class!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["320276"],"_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":"We have covered Coleman a few times, including this past week where we broke down the top 5 recruits for the class as a whole!rnrnu003ca href=u0022https://prepredzone.com/2024/04/an-updated-glimpse-of-the-top-5-2026-recruits/u0022u003ehttps://prepredzone.com/2024/04/an-updated-glimpse-of-the-top-5-2026-recruits/u003c/au003e","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["778699"],"_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":"Johnson is an explosive back who has been incredibly productive his first 2 years in high school ball. He's got fantastic vision and can stick his foot in the ground to change direction as good as anyone. He's shifty and can make just about anyone miss as well. If he gets to the edge, watch out because he has the speed to house it. He's averaged 7.7 YPC to this point in his career and seems to only be getting better with age.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1182214"],"_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":"Crawford is the do-it-all guy for Knightstown and he just had a stellar season to say the least. He's a thicker back who can absorb contact and hits. He's not one to back away from contact because he's got the muscle behind him to win. He's a back who seems to heat up as the game goes on and the more work he gets, the more dangerous he is. He just put up his first 1000+ yard and 13 TD season. With how the offense goes through him and the raw talent he possess, I think it's safe to say there's going to be a lot more of Crawford coming defenses way over the next 2 years.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["560086"],"_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":"After tearing it up at Mt. Vernon, I believe Fox has transferred to Noblesville to face a bit more stiff competition. He's as explosive as anyone in the class and his freshman year came out and put up 1400 yards and 19 TDs on the ground. He's able to handle a full workload and can find small creases. He's able to get low, hide behind his blockers, and shoot out the backside of the hole they create. Some backs just have that u0022Itu0022 factor to make the right play and Ramsey-Fox is one of those backs.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["391044"],"_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":"No back in the class has developed physically quite like Manna has. He came in as a freshman a bit undersized and needing some work in the weight room. He dedicated himself to developing his body and it's paid off for him. He's a thicker, well built, and strong back who should be able to handle a large workload in the heart of the trenches. He's a back who is at a lot of camps as well and always looks good. He's always looking for the extra reps, asking the right questions, and most importantly, paying attention. I'm a big fan of Manna and how he carries himself. It's only a matter of time until all of this hard work begins to pay off.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_5_player":["1175630"],"_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":"Dozier has developed in the wings for Roncalli and should be ready to take the lead role this fall. He's worked his way into the rotation up to this point and has always looked decent. He's a bigger back who runs behind his pads. He's a straight-line one-cut type of runner looking to stick his foot in the ground and get North/South. He's not going to get too cute with trying to get out of a bad situation and loose even more yardage when those situations come up. You know who he is and what you're going to get from him and you have to appreciate those types of players. It could be a big year for Dozier to say the least.","_player_evaluations_5_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":6,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66198424231f5"} /-->
