<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Last week I put out an article covering <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2024/06/class-of-25-players-we-missed-in-our-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">names we missed</a> in our Class of 2025 Rankings. Today, I am covering some we missed in our Class of 2026 Rankings. If you know of anyone else we have missed, send us their names and film. We will update our rankings in the future where we will add the players we have collected.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1299986],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-667ead139780d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kevin has big play potential and put up good JV film in 2023. He has good athleticism displaying good acceleration, foot speed, foot quickness, change of direction (COD), and lateral agility. Comes off the ball with good release into his route, accelerating quickly into his stem. Shows good COD and acceleration in his route breaks to create good separation to provide the QB with an open target. Can catch the ball in stride and quickly become a ball carrier with good speed and elusiveness as a runner to create yards after the catch. Expect him to be a big contributor on varsity this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17633017/Kevin-Mahoney" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/540_k3" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/540_k3/status/1800967953380249976","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/540_k3/status/1800967953380249976 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1318836"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6683186aa7862"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oneil displays good athletic ability with very good foot speed, foot quickness, and change of direction (COD), good acceleration, balance, and lateral agility. Good release off the line of scrimmage. He can quickly close the distance between himself and the DB with his good acceleration. Displays very good separation quickness due to his COD at the top of the route and his ability to quickly accelerate out of his cut. Displays very good hands and shows good physical toughness after the catch. His Hudl has no film, but see his season highlights below posted by his coach.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17798924/Oneil-Oussantidja" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/OneilThe18th" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_JunieDaCoach/status/1807862720244412595","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_JunieDaCoach/status/1807862720244412595 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1318838"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6679a4276e413"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bodie is an offensive and defensive line. He is transferring to Liberty Christian this fall to play on a very good offensive line. He played center but has been working to improve his body and athleticism and has the potential to play any position on the offensive line. I previously featured him in one of my articles which you can read <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2023/10/players-to-watch-in-central-and-western-virginia/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>. I will be intrigued to see how he competes in camp for a starting position this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18008141/Bodie-Aronson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/BodieAronson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BodieAronson/status/1744794104876212284","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BodieAronson/status/1744794104876212284 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1318841"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66834137bb336"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chase is transferring to Saint Christopher's this fall and reclassing to the class of '26. He is a solid athlete who has the ability to move in the pocket to avoid pressure and can roll out and make an accurate throw while on the run in both directions. Displays good arm strength to make throws on all levels on the field. He displays solid accuracy to his receivers or can add zip to the ball to get it to them quickly and can put air under the pass to lead them in the route. He looks to make the throw but shows solid ability as a runner if there are no open receivers to create positive yards on the play. &nbsp;He is a name to watch this fall and one who will be in our updated rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19085762/Chase-Roberts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Chase87Roberts" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Chase87Roberts/status/1804970356639179056","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Chase87Roberts/status/1804970356639179056 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1318843"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66834137bb3d6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is not enough film to give a full evaluation of Jack. In the film that is available, he displays the ability to read and react from the stacked LB position showing his ability to process the game. Once he makes his run read, he will move downhill to the point of attack where he shows the ability to use his hands against offensive linemen, shed the block, and make a tackle. He is a Watch List candidate for now, but I am intrigued to see what the fall season will bring for him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18116641/Jack-Ahlberg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/AhlbergJack" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AhlbergJack/status/1804527066013933857","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AhlbergJack/status/1804527066013933857 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Click&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/prospect-index/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>&nbsp;to claim your Prep Redzone Prospect Index profile.<br>Follow me on Twitter&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/GoLions1934" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@GoLions1934</a>&nbsp;for further content |&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzoneVA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzoneVA</a>, and&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@PrepRedzone</a>&nbsp;| Virginia Scout&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/carljfred" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">@carljfred</a></em>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<em>View my previous Prep Redzone articles&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/author/cole-laing-author/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
