Long and athletic with good cover skills, Tuggle leads freshman Statewide with 4 interceptions. He has outstanding body control and has above average skills with the ball in air. Shows some deceptive speed with the ball in his hands taking long strides to cover a lot of ground quickly. Physical kid that doesn't mind tackling. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>P4 upside and one to watch on both sides of the ball over the next 3 seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GTuggle12/status/1825700785658728720","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/GTuggle12/status/1825700785658728720 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1203611"],"_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-671affd4b3afc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This Temple Tiger ATH has his best football in front of him. Bowman had a breakout game in August against Clarkston. He intercepted 3 passes, returning 2 of those for TDs. A multi-facet athlete that can play any of the skill positions on either side of the ball and has been a contributor on special teams. The Tigers are loaded with upper-class talent this season and are having one of their best years in program history. Bowman will get his chance to get more snaps over the next 3 years and is one we think will develop into an outstanding prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Bryson Hazley","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"East Laurens","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-671affd4b3b7e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another multisport athlete with good size (6'1 180) whose best football is in front of him. He has seen action in all of the Falcons games this season at the DB position and projects to a WR in the future for East Laurens. He has two interceptions and a forced fumble this season in limited action. Athletic frame with long arms, looks bigger than most freshman in his pads. Good man to man coverage DB that is physical enough to get off blocks and make tackles in run support. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Good upside here and we will follow his development over the next 3 years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/in3wetrustt">Follow on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Trey Fulton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"215","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"5926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Lithia Springs","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-671affd4b3bff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A young Lithia Springs team is having a down year and that gives this 6'3 215 freshman plenty of playing time early. Fulton has been one of the most productive freshman defenders in Georgia for 2024. He has 44 TT with 9 TFLs and 3 sacks. Good build with a solid strong base and long arms. He gets off the LOS quickly and is a solid tackler. Gained experience this season against some of the top programs in the State (Carrollton, Rome, East Paulding), and was able to hold his own. His size combined with his natural athleticism will draw some D1 attention.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/TreyFulton_0">Follow on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["950840"],"_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-671affd4b3c41"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">No surprise here that Jacobs has made a big contribution as a freshman. Starting on the DL at one of the top programs in the State as a freshman is no small accomplishment. Already with a handful of D1 offers, his stock will continue rising as he grows over the next 3 years. We would not be shocked to see him as one of the Top overall players in the '28 recruiting class. Athletic, physical, and gifted with good football genes, Jacobs is impossible to block upfront. He has good technique to shed blocks and plays with a natural football intuitiveness. P4 future star.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/dawson_doj">Follow on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
