He does a good job of striking defender on first impact and plays with a balanced base that allows him to stay under his feet in pass protection. His length helps him block opposing defenders and he has enough strength to drive them backwards, opening up running lanes for the Woodward Academy rushing attack. He's coming off a strong junior season and recently earned a new offer from UNLV.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1323158"],"_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-677c4a0edcf03"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy EDGE rusher who plays as hard as anyone on the field, Mitchell is an aggressive defender who knows how to deliver a sound hit on the ball-carrier. He's quick off the snap and consistently finds his way into the backfield. He can beat opposing linemen with a spin move or use his strength to fight off blocks and attack the quarterback. He brings decent size at 6-foot-2 220-pounds and made 30 tackles, eight TFLs and two sacks last fall. He's now earned new offers from Delaware and South Florida with more likely on the way. He's ranked as the No. 69 overall prospect in Georgia according to the 2026 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1319900"],"_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-677c4a0edcf4b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top 2026 linemen in Gwinnett County, Lewis is seeing his recruitment pick up after a strong junior season where he delivered pancakes on a consistent basis all season long. The lean but aggressive 6-foot-4 275-pounder plays hard, with good leverage, and does a great job of finishing his blocks. He's mean and has no problem burying defenders to the ground. As he continues to add more muscle and mass, Lewis could find himself climbing up the rankings in the next update. The North Gwinnett tackle earned a recent offer from the Florida Gators.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1595605"],"_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-677c4a0edcf90"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An instinctive defender who has a nose for the football, Stephenson is a sure-tackling linebacker who can play in space and make a sound, fundamental tackle on the ball-carrier. He runs well, takes good angles, and doesn't miss many tackles. He was one of the better defenders on a stout Thomas County Central defense, and he recently earned a new offer from Pittsburgh. He also holds offers from Duke, Wake Forest, among others. As a junior last season, the playmaking defender made 83 total tackles to go along with 10 TFLs and one sack. Don't be surprised if more offers come his way sooner than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283876"],"_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-677c4a47670ad"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A playmaking defensive back with impressive quickness, instincts, and a lengthy 6-foot-3 175-pound frame, Jackson is one of the top DB prospects not only in South Georgia, but across the state in the 2026 class. Already ranked as the No. 23 overall prospect in Georgia, this versatile Lee County defensive back can lock down receivers on the outside and has the ability to play safety as well. He's a tough, hard-hitting defender against the run and brings a promising overall skill-set to the position. There's a lot to like about his game, and he recently added new offers from the in-state Georgia Bulldogs, the Florida Gators, and the Michigan Wolverines.
