2027 Prospects with Legitimate D1 Potential

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The class of 2027 has phenomenal potential. Our current ranked players are all expected to be college prospects and a select few I view as legit D1 prospects. This article includes five players who I strongly believe have legitimate D1 upside. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1157443"],"_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-672c13d6c4010"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I still hold strong in believing Tyden will be a Division 1 prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tyden has yet to leave a significant mark on the Varsity level, and he honestly still has to hit that growth spurt. However, this past offseason, Tyden displayed some of the best route-running, change of direction, hands, and explosiveness I've seen from any WR prospect. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Seriously, I'd be SHOCKED if Tyden didn't eventually earn GLIAC scholarships at the very least. As long as Tyden can stay healthy and have another good offseason, he'll be a very, very productive high school football player next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So yes, Tyden remains in the top 20 and should still be ranked pretty high after the massive February update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1277061"],"_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-672c13d6c4060"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jack's size will tell you most of what you need to know about his potential. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>So, yeah, Jack is very tall and has long limbs- which is half the battle when it comes to being recruited as a DE/EDGE. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As for skill, Jack is a bit raw from the little 2024 tape I have of him. In the future, I'd love to see Jack improve his getoff, hands, and overall motor. I will say, Jack has a very wide tackle radius, which is expected for someone of his size. He also has very high upside on the offensive line!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'm still "wait and see" on Jack, but there's zero doubt that he has a much higher upside and smoother path to being a D1 prospect than most. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["642774"],"_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-672c13d6c40a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roseville has had plenty of D1 prospects over the years, and Armani could be the next man up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At surface level, Armani has good size, plays multiple positions, plays multiple sports, and is on a team with a proven record of D1 success. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This is where the projection game comes into play. I know that Armani is a very talented athlete with both basketball and football. The thing is, I can't rank him super high without any tape. I have seen some, but that was a long time ago at this point. However, my expectations for Armani are quite high. I know he's got the talent to be a D1 prospect as a linebacker or D-Linemen, and I really, really hope his tape eventually backs me up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158946"],"_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-672c13d6c40e0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As I looked over the Class of 2027, Kayden popped up as a very, very under-appreciated talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kayden is a one-of-a-kind talent at Detroit Edison. To put this as simply as possible, he's a very athletic and reactive two-way player. Offensively Kayden sports great vision and open-field elusiveness. I am highly impressed with his ability to earn yards after catch. Defensively, he seems a bit raw, but can come down with INTs. On top of that, he's a great return man. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kayden looks like a future fringe D1 prospect on tape. I don't think he's at that D1 level just yet, but I am projecting a great offseason and a huge 2025 season for Kayden. I really, really hope to see Kayden sometime this offseason to get a more solid scouting report on him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["489263"],"_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-672c13d6c411d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Two articles including Jabin this week, but he was impossible to leave off of this one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Quickly, Jabin has good size, way above-average athleticism, and way above-average arm talent. He's been an off-season baller for a long, long time at this point, and he's currently a great role player in the OLSM offense. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now, Jabin has an opportunity to prove why he's considered a future D1 player. As long as he hits this offseason hard, Jabin should be QB1 for OLSM next season. I really look forward to seeing the fruits of Jabin's labor show, and he's still a definite D1 guy in my book. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
