Announcing his commitment last week Harvey had close to 10 FCS level offers or higher. I have said it before but his speed is game changing and he can come in and play right away. Aggies fan should be happy with this commitment Harvey in my opinion can play on both sides of the ball at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MyykelllHarvey/status/1874570001384141283","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MyykelllHarvey/status/1874570001384141283 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Offers:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212459"],"_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-677d2f3429df0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you haven't been keeping up [player_tooltip player_id='212459' first='Jase' last='Rhodes'] is continuing his high level of play in various sports for North Cross. Not only is he an all state defensive back, he is tearing up the winter track circuits and FBS coaches are taking notice. Up to 9 Division 1 offers his latest came in yesterday from Yale University! Rhodes is a star on the field and in the classroom, before his senior season kicks off expect him to have close to 20 offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1233184"],"_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-677d2f3429e70"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Albemarle's [player_tooltip player_id='1233184' first='Jacob' last='Lykins'] remains uncommitted despite many offers continuously coming through. The all conference defensive back has a wide range of opportunities including Grove City, Denison and Allegheny. All three spots would be good fits for him in my opinion. It should be interesting to see how his recruiting picks up with many Division 3 schools showing interest. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1232434"],"_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-677d2f3429ed1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tackling machine [player_tooltip player_id='1232434' first='Troy' last='Lucas'] is parlaying a good Senior bowl performance into collegiate offers. He just picked up an offer from Division 2 powerhouse Slippery Rock and as a PA native I could not be more excited. Lucas was an all region linebacker in 2024 helping lead the Westfield Bulldogs on a deep playoff run. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not surprisingly he was all over the field Friday night in the Senior Bowl, with many coaches on hand taking notice. Slippery Rock is a great spot for him, I believe more Division 2 schools will now follow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/troy_lucas25/status/1876423744031248643","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/troy_lucas25/status/1876423744031248643 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1224342"],"_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-677d2f3429f31"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1224342' first='Andrew' last='Hamad']'s recruiting momentum is kicking into overdrive as he picked up two Division 1 offers this past week! Morehead State and Albany have offered opportunities for Hamad at the next level with more on the way. Hamad is a piercing linebacker who had a dominant senior season.
