<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These fast-rising 2028 defenders have a chance to open eyes this fall...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/BryceWilli61152"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='873930' first='Bryce' last='Willingham']</strong></a> <strong>- DB - North Atlanta</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A promising cornerback with length and ball skills, Willinghman started in his very first high school football game and made a big impact for a North Atlanta team on the rise. The 6-foot-1 170-pounder and his teammates may have come out on the losing end, but Willingham was a big bright spot. He showed he's physical enough to make a big tackle while also covering a lot of ground down the field. He made a handful of tackles along with an impressive INT during North Atlanta's loss to Kell during the Corky Kell Classic. His talent is easy to see and he picked up his first two offers this week from UMASS and Georgia State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1201242' first='Casey' last='Barner']&nbsp;- DB - Douglass</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Another outstanding freshman defensive back, Barner proved why he's one of the very best young prospects in Georgia. He brings good size already at 5-foot-11 175-pounds who showed quickness and impressive instincts for his age. He also showed the toughness and physicality needed to make plays against the run as he secured five tackles in his very first high school game. He also forced a fumble and ran for a touchdown offensively. He's just a freshman, but he's already making a major impact for one of the best teams in the area. He already holds an offer from the in-state Georgia Bulldogs, and more are likely coming sooner than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tyre' Jimeson - DB - Stockbridge</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A quick, instinctive defensive back who made a big impact in his very first high school game last week, Jimeson flashed promising cover skills, showed quick feet, and reacted quickly against the run. He brings a physical style of play for his age who can wrap up and make a secure tackle on the ball-carrier. He's still learning, and he's still just a freshman, but his potential is easy to see. He played very well in his first freshman game in week one, making 10 tackles in his high school debut. His best football is way ahead of him, and he's only going to get better as his career moves along.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1150631' first='Keore' last='Bell-Adkison']</strong> <strong>- LB - Houston County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A promising athlete who can play multiple positions, Bell-Adkison is a ball-hawk at linebacker who already brings a promising 5-foot-11 180-pound frame. He can play running back as well, but his potential at linebacker is easy to see. He reacts quickly, doesn't mind contact, and knows how to deliver assure tackle on the ball-carrier. The Houston County Bears are one of the more talented teams in the area, and this freshman defender has a chance to push for playing time more and more as his first season continues. He doesn't look, or play like a freshman, and it's clear he has the potential to have an outstanding high school career over the next four years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='266456' first='Kingston' last='Brown'] - DT - Carver</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big, powerful defensive line to know about in Columbus, Brown is a promising, fast-rising lineman who already brings outstanding size for his age at 6-foot-1 260-pounds. He's explosive off the snap, shows quick, violent hands, and knows how to shed blocks and get into the backfield. He's a hard-working young man who has an incredibly high ceiling if he continues to grow physically and develops as both a run-stuffing and pass-rushing lineman. His best football is easy ahead of him, and he's one of the top young players in the area. He's one to keep a close eye on over the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
