2026 Virginia Rankings Review Underrated Gems

<p>Our 2026 rankings have provided both positive feedback and valued questions from our subscribers which quite frankly has been a joy to interact with everyone. When you rank over 600 plus kids their are bound to be reactions. Who are some kids we missed out on? Whose ranking didn't do them justice, I have a few below:</p>    <p class="text-gray-700">Back healthy Osbourn's [player_tooltip player_id='853819' first='Keon' last='Maestas'] is prime to be one of the best athletes in not just Prince William County but all of Virginia. Playing a variety of positions including receiver, running back, corner and safety for the Eagles, Maestas can score from any point on the field. </p>   <p>Despite missing much of his sophomore season the hype hasn't slowed for his recruiting he just picked up his first Division 1 offer from Old Dominion!</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/TheKeonMaestas/status/1804610284004528378 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">Recently announcing his transfer to power house Saint Michael The Archangel, lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1297883' first='Pharez' last='Sanders'] is coming along nicely. A stout tackle for the Gar Field Red Wolves last season, Sanders can move inside potentially with his new school and honestly take off. </p>   <p>His pass blocking is solid but he really excels in the run game, a quick first step he can maul his defenders. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/PharezSanders7/status/1721347949718843632 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">I know I may come across as a Battlefield homer when I write on a player on nearly every article, but kids like [player_tooltip player_id='1297952' first='Luke' last='Hatfield'] are too good pass up. </p>   <p>Playing guard for the Bobcats dynamic offense a season ago, Hatfield is underrated on a team full of all stars. He is 6'4 and 270 lbs. an excellent pass and run blocker who is just downright knocking dudes around all over the field. His ranking doesn't do him proper service (its more of the position group very deep class) he will be a division 1 football player when all is said and done.</p>   <p>http://www.hudl.com/v/2LsXjk</p>     <p class="text-gray-700">A dual threat quarterback who really does have a cannon, Independence [player_tooltip player_id='486916' first='Nick' last='Nassib'] is legit. Throwing a very accurate deep ball, the Tigers have a potential FBS star on their hands. Really like the way he throws on the run too, do not be surprised to see his touchdown passes double this year. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/NickNassib/status/1804285238438432818 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">The Fairfax Lions have one of the most underrated hidden gems in defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='853783' first='Davon' last='Tolson Jr.'], he is good! Earning second team all conference honors for both his work at defensive end and offensive guard, Tolson is a pit bull. Playing big than his size 5'11 and 230 lbs., he is typically pancaking defenders down the field with the Lions strong run game. </p>   <p>He is not on many people's radar yet but with a good junior season and more summer recruiting to go, expect that to change drastically. </p>
