2026 ATH Stock-Risers

This Class of 2026 Rankings Update includes a ton of ATH Stock Risers and New Additions. This time around, I'll be going over the top 8 stock-risers in this Athlete class.    #66 --> #32   Geno earns a pretty big boost after a re-evaluation. Especially over these past few months, Geno has earned several D1 offers. Geno is on track for an absolutely phenomenal season at Waterford Mott. With a graduating QB, Geno is put right in place at QB. In addition Geno has phenomenal size and has already shown great stuff as a receiver. This season, Geno will be able to showcase his full range of playmaking abilities. I'm interested to see how good of a passer Geno is, but regardless, I'm very confident in his running abilities. Big boost for Geno, and I'm looking forward to his 2024 season.     #57 --> #38   Max is another Waterford Mott player whom I expect a breakout season from. Playing both EDGE and TE, Max was an excellent two-way player who has a very high ceiling on both sides of the football. Defensively, Max plays with phenomenal effort and play speed. I would like to see better use of hands, but the effort is 100% there. His measurables also give major upside and a very wide tackle radius. Offensively, there isn't much tape there but I've heard from coaches that he's more than capable in that department. With a bit more muscle and experience, Max could earn another boost.     #123 --> #43   Lukas earns a MAJOR boost. Re-evaluating him, I don't know what I was thinking ranking him #123 last update. As a safety, Lukas showcases a lot of versatility and great play speed. Specifically, Lukas breaks on the ball quickly and explodes downfield toward the ball carrier against the run. Offensively, Lukas has a great running style. First, he has great vision and explosiveness out of the backfield. When getting to the second level, Lukas is also able to weave through the defense and break through arm tackles. Overall some very good tape, great upside, and someone I'm looking forward to watching next season.     #135 --> #56   Call it recency bias, but I am VERY high on Jamison heading into this season. In fact, I'm extremely confident he'll be a GLIAC prospect at the very least. At the Gateway to North showcase, Jamison took over the entire camp. First off, Jamison showcased extremely quick feet and route-running. It didn't matter if it was a slant, zig, comeback, or whatever- Jamison was one of the best route runners at camp. Second, Jamison had a few true highlight reel catches. Deep downfield, Jamison has phenomenal ball tracking and hands. He showed everything I could have hoped for, and I'm extremely interested to see his Junior year film.     #92 --> #57   Terrance recently earned an offer from Miami (OH) and showcased very good <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/19514919/653bd23e066bae06c4345b2a">sophomore season tape</a>. His tape shows incredible versatility on the offensive end. At receiver, Terrance screams downfield and has a few instances of great deep-threat ability. That initial highlight against Seaholm is especially impressive. Playing QB, he's a big play waiting to happen. He isn't the most talented passer, but Terrance is able to evade pressure and be a lethal weapon in the open field. Truly one of the best athletes in the OAA Blue, and I'm confident that Terrance will lead North Farmington to several victories.     #64 --> #59   Jacarri may be due for a truly special season. First off, Jacari is an extremely twitchy athlete. The play at 1:02 shows incredible twitchiness in the open field. Dodging several tackles and trying to explode up field. The very next play further demonstrates Jacarri's phenomenal athleticism. As a slot receiver, Jacarri has a very high ceiling. On the defensive end, Jacarri has shown flashes at DB. If he can continue to hone in on his route-running on offense and man-to-man coverage on defense, he could be a very sought-after recruit.     #117 --> #63   Nolan has been a very underrated player for a very long time. After talking with a few coaches, I'm higher on Nolan than ever. Ever since Nolan hit high school, he's been an above-average athlete with phenomenal football instincts. His freshman tape shows a ton of versatility and playmaking skill. <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/16931980/65499cafb3d3030adccb6abb">His sophomore tape</a> shows those same instincts, mostly as a safety. At safety, Nolan earned several interceptions. The INTs weren't gimmes either- Nolan earned each interception through making quick reactions, exploding to the football, and generally doing his job at a high level. He's also a hard-hitter when it comes to run defense. As I eluded to earlier, Nolan also has great upside on offense. I fully expect Nolan to perform great this coming season and earn GLIAC offers by next offseason.     #105 --> #75 Javari earns a great boost after a few excellent off-season showings. At the MHSAA Showcase at DeWitt, Javari took a ton of reps and showed his great athleticism and insane effort. Namely, I was impressed to see him move as well as he did at receiver. He consistently fired off the ball and made precise cuts to earn separation. At DB, Javari showed off that same effort and athleticism. On film Javari is a very reactive linebacker. I'm not quite sure what position he'll play in college, but at this point, I'm confident he'll be a GLIAC prospect.
