<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Get 30% off your first billing cycle with code:&nbsp;OscarGalindo30&nbsp;in the coupon code area.</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Class of 2026 Rankings received a big update as we grew the list to 365 players. Our rankings alone jumped from “Top 75” to 145 of the top sophomore prospects across the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To kick off coverage of this class, I wanted to roll out some “Prospect Profiles” of each of the ranked prospects. In these prospect profiles, I will highlight important info about that prospect, including measurables, links for their Twitter/Hudl, notable speed and strength marks (40-yard times and max-out lifts), offers, and locate some strengths for each player. All 40-yard times, track times, vertical jumps, and lifting stats come directly from the player's Hudl or Twitter or have been recorded at a showcase I have attended.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2026 defensive line has some serious FREAKS with the potential to generate several D1 prospects in the upcoming seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph -->
