2026 Rankings Update: New Additions to Know Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Part 2 of taking a deep dive into some of the new additions to the recent 2026 Rankings Update. These prospects have some offers/interest already but will shine this summer and poised for huge senior campaigns.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1607527"],"_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-67bd055520100"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tavian had a strong year for Parkside being a playmaker for them in all 3 phases of the game. However he is a WR first and an offensive weapon, racking up over 1,000 all purpose yards and multiple scores.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A player with great length and athleticism, Tavian is reported to a run a 4.48 40 and is capable of making the spectacular catch. He posses great burst and explosiveness able to take the top off a defense. Using his length well Tavian shows off a big catch radius, as well a great body control and ball skills to track the pass and go get it. Tavian's quickness and twitch allow him to be used in multiple ways on offense and adding a lot of versatility to his game. He just picked up his first offer this month from UMass with more on the way. I expect a big spring/summer out of Tavian and could see him making a strong jump in the next ratings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/zvJHzrfyYv">https://t.co/zvJHzrfyYv</a><br><br>junior highlights check it out!!<br>1000 all purpose 42 catches 21 rushing <a href="https://twitter.com/FTRreport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@FTRreport</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachRiley73?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachRiley73</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachreedfb?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachreedfb</a> <a href="https://t.co/I8HrQdqwuL">pic.twitter.com/I8HrQdqwuL</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1607527' first='Tavian' last='Dashiell'] (@TavianDash84823) <a href="https://twitter.com/TavianDash84823/status/1879544223038583250?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 15, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608200"],"_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-67bd05552018e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Cameron is a strong addition to these rankings coming as the #11 overall DL and has big potential, he will be getting on a lot of college boards this spring. His recruitment is already heating up, with 4 total offers so far and 3 coming this past month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A big wide shoulder, thick body kid, Cameron is a strong presence along C. Milton's DL. With a quick first step, quick feet and active hands, he is a dominant interior rush player. Cameron plays with a non-stop motor and shows great strength and leverage when beating offensive lineman. A good overall athlete is well, Cameron is a 3 sport kid playing Lacrosse and wrestling as well. You can see those skill sets translate on the field as with how well he moves able to re-direct and having good hips and agile footwork. A high academic prospect too, Cameron will be a kid all IVY/Patriot &amp; high academic Power 5 schools should be looking at. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">[player_tooltip player_id='1608200' first='Cameron' last='Stepp'] Junior Season Highlights <br>46 Solo Tackles <br>11 TFLs <br>10 Assisted Tackles <br>10 Sacks 66 Total Tackles <br>16 QB Hurry Ups <br>2 Forced Fumbles <br>1 Fumble Recovery <a href="https://t.co/YCVNbtKPLV">pic.twitter.com/YCVNbtKPLV</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1608200' first='Cameron' last='Stepp'] (@CameronStepp2) <a href="https://twitter.com/CameronStepp2/status/1856120904859652231?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 11, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1607513"],"_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-67bd0555201fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelvin is a prospect I think is being under rated and will have a strong summer camp season. I got to see him live earlier this year against Good Counsel and he came up huge for Riverdale in their win that day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'3" he is a tall, long WR that can stretch the field vertically. He's got a big stride that eats up yardage and allows him to get over top of the defense quickly. Kelvin displays soft hands and some fluid hips. Able to go and get the ball out of the air and get decent YAC. A physical player as well, he is more than willing blocker as a WR helping out in the run game. Riverdale Baptist had a loaded receiving corps last year so Kelvin had to share the rock but he made plays when the ball came his way. If he can develop more as a WR, I can Kelvin him having a strong senior campaign and with size being an intriguing recruit to colleges. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="pl" dir="ltr">Junior szn!!<a href="https://t.co/frxCayRWxx">https://t.co/frxCayRWxx</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1607513' first='Kelvin' last='Taylor'] (@datskelz) <a href="https://twitter.com/datskelz/status/1884027274963607694?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 27, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1607522"],"_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-67bd055520268"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Isaac is a big OL who is poised for a breakout spring. He has great size at 6'4" 290 and can play either OT or OG. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I saw live earlier this year at practice and was impressed with his mobility as his size. He is light on his feet and can get out and go, whether pulling or combo blocking up to the second level. Isaac also shows well in pass pro with a nice kick step and being able to anchor down and hold his space not getting off balance or opening up to the rusher. Don't let that fool you though he is mauler as well, driving his legs and finishing blocks. He will put defenders in the dirt and shows some nasty. I think he is a player that will start to garner attention in these next few months as he continues to develop his game.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Full junior season highlights <a href="https://t.co/ERTOpoyJHa">https://t.co/ERTOpoyJHa</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1607522' first='Isaac' last='Barkers'] (@isaac_barkers72) <a href="https://twitter.com/isaac_barkers72/status/1880716549289570525?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 18, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["909755"],"_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-67bd0555202d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">De'Lonzo is a player who's game I really like, he may get looked over some as he is a tweener size wise but his play is everything you want from a LB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A yoked up 200lbs Lonzo should continue to fill out with good muscle and I can see him getting to the ~220 range. He can play both ILB or OLB and has a versatile skill set. What I like most about his game is his motor and tenacity. De'Lonzo flies to the ball, can get sideline to sideline and is all over the field. He is also very physical and will drop the hammer! Fast and aggressive, he is quick to close on the ball and tackles through the ball carrier. When De'Lonzo hits you, you know it and he plays with bad intentions. He is a future gem of a prospect in my mind and whatever team gets his services at the next level will not be disappointed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Season 3!!!<a href="https://t.co/3ZdyhjsZ1U">https://t.co/3ZdyhjsZ1U</a><a href="https://twitter.com/QO_Coach_Kelley?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@QO_Coach_Kelley</a></p>&mdash; 𝒟ℯ'ℒℴ𝓃𝓏ℴ ℋ𝒾𝓃𝓃𝒶𝓃𝓉 (@Lonzo5kk) <a href="https://twitter.com/Lonzo5kk/status/1882467186566135938?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 23, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
