New debuts from No. 51-100 in Louisiana’s latest 2026 rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone Louisiana's winter rankings process continued last week with the latest 2026 update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And another slew of talented prospects joined the list on the heels of productive junior seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at the four new names from No. 51 to No. 100 on the latest list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>And for more on the top-50 debuts, <a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/01/top-50-debuts-in-louisiana-2026-update-jan2025/">click here</a>.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 62 [player_tooltip player_id='1603202' first='Jacoby' last='Dunn'] — 6-2, 220 EDGE — Archbishop Rummel</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Raiders' defensive end's quickness pops off the film as much as an attribute from his initial get-off to the agility of his rush to shake and slip past opposing offensive linemen. But Dunn is also capable of beating even bigger opponents in physical battles, as well. His listed measurements are good for the next level, and he does a nice job in particularly using his length and upper-body strength to his advantage from active hands in his rush moves to his ability to extend and create separation from blockers or rips them aside to make tackles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 72 [player_tooltip player_id='1603247' first='Jayden' last='Michael'] — 6-3, 300 OL — Lutcher</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Michael's initial step and punch are powerful enough to control his matchup from the outset of many snaps. And even when defenders are able to keep their feet and their balance through that first contact, he possesses the overall strength to still ultimately exert his well as the play progresses. One of the biggest-listed lineman in Louisiana's class rankings, but the Bulldogs' left tackle carries his weight well and possesses good athleticism and mobility to stay in front of quicker rushers in pass protection or to navigate his way through or over traffic, get up to the next level and locate and engage linebackers and defensive backs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 81 [player_tooltip player_id='1601781' first='Xzavier' last='White'] — 6-1, 220 LB — Alexandria</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Arguably the heart of the Trojans' defense, the junior linebacker was a tackle machine in the middle of the unit for 186 total stops, including 15 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, plus a forced fumble and two recoveries — and a consistent knack for coming up with some of the team's biggest plays in critical third- and fourth-down scenarios. White is a smart player with quick feet and even quicker instincts. And once he makes his read, he flashes good closing speed to the play and is one of the more reliable tacklers in the state with a solid build he squares up, wraps and drives through ball-carriers, often in explosive fashion. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>No. 93 [player_tooltip player_id='1601844' first='Taeshawn' last='Jones'] — 6-0, 185 WR — Centerville</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Centerville star has quietly, from a statewide perspective, been a highly productive multisport star from the small-school, small-town program near the Gulf. His available film is loaded with a range of highlight-reel plays — including confidently high-pointing the ball, adjusting his body in the air and hauling in catches over defenders, or showing good toughness and balance through contact to break tackles and accelerate away for big additional yardage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
