<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We debuted our first 2028 rankings on Wednesday. Here's a breakdown of the prospects No. 11-20:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613656' first='Andres' last='Acosta'], Highland</strong>: What he lacks in height, Acosta makes up for in fearless, relentless play on the field. He helped spark the Highland&nbsp; defense in 2024 with 59 tackles and 3.0 TFL. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613664' first='Santos' last='Martinez'], Robertson</strong>: It was probably hard to carve out a niche on a star-studded Robertson team, but Martinez managed to do that by making 49 tackles and 1.0 sack from his DE spot. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613409' first='Mason' last='Fikany'], Ruidoso</strong>: Like his teammates, Fikany and his family endured a challenging 2024, but he managed to put aside his concerns to contribute on both sides of the ball. He rushed for 243 yards, caught 23 passes and collected 16 tackles on defense. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613670' first='Cesar' last='De La Rosa'], Chaparral</strong>: Helped spark Chaparral's turnaround season by making 47 tackles with 3 passes defended.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613430' first='Zaiden' last='Baker'], Hot Springs</strong>: Solid contributor to the Tiger son both sides of the ball. Carried the ball 44 times for 135 yards, caught 17 passes for 176 yards ad 2 TD, and made 46 tackles with 5.0 TFL as a DB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613434' first='Nolan' last='Romero-Williams'], Eldorado</strong>: The 6-foot-2, 185-pounder contributed to the Eldorado offense from the running back position. Potential to become one of the top RBs in the Albuquerque Metra region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613435' first='Gracin' last='Vigil'], Navajo Prep</strong>: Two-way standout for the Eagles. Caught 19 passes for 341 yards and 6 TD on offense and made 35 tackles with 3 INT on defense. Navajo Prep could make some noise next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613448' first='Christian' last='Perez'], Legacy Academy</strong>: Perez was a star for Legacy Academy in their 1<sup>st</sup> season playing 11-man football. Made 16 receptions for 210 yards and 2 TD on offense, 41 tackles with 2.0 TFL and 5 passes defended on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613459' first='Ezra' last='Ocampo'], Socorro</strong>: The Ocampo legacy continues at Socorro. While Ezra played on both sides of the ball, his biggest contribution came on defense as he made 41 tackles with 1 forced fumble and 3 passes defended.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1613517' first='Joel' last='Nieto'], Jal</strong>: Nieto was the Panthers' 5<sup>th</sup> leading tackler with 42. Jal returns five of their top six tacklers in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>    </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p> </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
