<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have officially released the rankings for the class of 2028 in the state of Arkansas. In this article, we will showcase the 2028 defensive backs with analysis.

Freeman displays solid read and react ability, allowing himself to quickly break on the ball and arrive at the catch point. He's a hard-hitting corner with good open-field tackling. With that being said, he can be dangerous as a wide receiver as well as he displays good hand-eye coordination and concentration. He can become a vertical threat with solid footwork off his release. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Note - 3.0 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AaronFreeman1_/status/1815335779306004711","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/AaronFreeman1_/status/1815335779306004711 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1227387"],"_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-66cac2c81403e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1227387' first='Hunter' last='Sears'] ranks second on our board, coming in as a physical defensive back on the boundary.
