To introduce (or re-introduce) you to some of these prospects, we are bringing out the prospect profiles. In our “Prospect Profiles” series, we feature the top prospects at each position by highlighting their reported testing numbers, PRs in other sports, offers, stats, Twitter/Hudl profiles, and some strengths we see from their tape.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We continue the Prospect Profiles by taking a look at a solid defensive back group. The top DB in the 2025 class, Lincoln East's [player_tooltip player_id='319571' first='Mikhale' last='Ford'], has already announced his pledge, so we won't do a profile on him. Check out the DBs ranked 2-7 in the latest update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph
