The 6'2 210 returning Senior had a breakout Junior season with 129 TT with 9 TFL and a interception. On film he shows a quick 1st step and does a great job and tracking and destroying. He has made significant gains in the weight room over the past year . If he continues on this trajectory he will have a huge season this Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>D1 recruit with tremendous upside </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/XavierBrown40">Follow Xavier on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1096397"],"_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-679d3681d5159"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Godfree busted on to the scene his freshman season in the Fall of 2023. He followed up that impressive Freshman campaign to lead all Sophomores in tackles in '24 with 129 TT with 19 TFL including 2 INTs with a 65 yard return for a TD. The 6'0 215 LB is a natural football player that has a nose for the football and takes great angles to make plays. Already a standout at the States highest level, Godfree will be one of the top LB prospects nationwide in the 2027 Class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>P4 recruit</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/JakeGodfree">Follow Godfree on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["675033"],"_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-679d3681d519f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The 6'2 220 LB has seen his recruiting heat up during this Winter Period. A two year starter that took his production to the next level during his Junior season with 124 TT with 8 TFL. Athletic, physical and has natural instincts at the LB position. Has the speed and mobility to cover RBs out of the backfield and has exceptional tackling technique. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The D1 offers have started to roll in for this talented LB with Memphis, Buffalo, and JMU offering in just the past few days. In my opinion he is underrated in our rankings and maybe a Top 5 LB prospect after next season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/NoahLaVallee22">Follow Noah 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":"Seyon Bedell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_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":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Peachtree Ridge","_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-679d3681d5239"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bedell is probably the most under the radar prospects on our list. The 6'1 185 rising Senior had a breakout Junior season with 122 TT 5 TFL and had a pick 6. Bedell maybe undersized for your traditional LB prospect but he is strong and quick and does a great job at fighting off blocks to make a play. Athletic with good vision and instincts that does a good job when dropping back in coverage. Plays at Peachtree Ridge who as a program is know for developing next level talent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Outlook</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bedell should start picking up some next level interest, especially if he continues with his progression during his Senior campaign. Has the speed, strength, and instincts to play at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="https://x.com/seyon_bedell">Follow Bedell on X</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
