Five New Additions To The 2027 Rankings

Bush is another talented trench player from the 2027 class. He got a considerable amount of playing time on the varsity as a freshman and for a freshman, playing his first varsity reps, he more than held his own. At 6 foot two and 235 pounds. He already possesses a great frame to add additional good weight and strength over the next three years. He plays with a strong anchor, and has a nice bull rush. He does a good job of keeping his head up and reading the play well at the point of attack. At the next level, I like him as a two gap space eating defensive tackle. As he continues to develop physically and with some strong sophomore varsity film I expect Bush to start to gain a lot of recruiting attention.     The Wildcats have had a ton of success and produce a lot of D1 talent over the past several years. Keyes looks to be another talent I n the Springfield pipeline. He really can play either side of the ball. We have him as wide receiver since that is what most of his film has him playing. Braylon is an explosive receiver who so think could play inside or out. He's twitchy on his release and accelerates with ease. He's also a really polished route runner for a sophomore. He knows how to set up defenders and use his route running to create separation. In a dynamic Springfield offense, Keyes has a chance to turn into a game changing type receiver.       At 6'7 280 Johnson already possesses the desired length college coaches are looking for in a D1 offensive tackle. He debuts at #32 overall and the #2 offensive lineman in the class. While Johnson is a little raw in his technique, his size and athleticism more than make up for it. KJ does a good job of getting quick depth to cut off the speed rush. He also anchors well when the pass rusher looks transition from speed to power. I'm excited to see what Johnson can get done in the run game. The rising sophomore will have an opportunity to blow up onto the D1 scene with some strong film.     At 6'5 225 Perez definitely looks the part of a D1. He plays both sides of the ball for Columbus Academy. On the defensive side of the ball, I like him on the interior as a space eating 2 gap defensive tackle with plus athleticism. Reinaldo has the strength and quickness to win at the point of attack. He has the speed to pursue plays from the backside. I also really like him on the offensive side of the ball and I could easily see him ending up at the offensive tackle position at the next level. He has the length, bend, and athleticism to play the position at a high level. Reinaldo already has a D1 offer from UMASS. As he continues to grow and develop that will provide the answers as to what position will best fit him at the next level.     Hollman came to our Ohio Showcase in May. He had a great day earning one of the MVP's at the defensive back position. He was matched up against older and more experienced players all day long and more than held his own. Holman has the athleticism to mirror in coverage and the speed to run with receivers. When the ball is in the air, he's a hands catcher who has the body control to adjust and make the harder catches. Cedric just needs to continue to work on getting bigger and stronger. I'm excited to see what the future holds for this young man.
