<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>There are many up and coming stars in the state of Georgia and the Peach state is such a hotbed for ultra talented guys who are already on the rise and guys who could potentially make their marks by seasons arrival. Here we will look at a few guys who were stars at the middle school level and now will be stars at the high school level. Each of these guys have hard working qualities and the talent to go with it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1091384"],"_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-679d09ef0938d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have often times compared [player_tooltip player_id='1091384' first='Tylan' last='Simpson']'s play style and ability to dominate both the receiver and defensive back position to now heisman winner Travis Hunter. However, Simpson has his own style of play which is his own and that's what really makes him special. His ability to catch the ball and take it the distance is second to none in his class. His defensive back skills are also strong as he locks down opposing players with his length and quickness. I have had the chance to watch Simpson many times in games, practices and in training. I am very high on Simpson and his ability. He's going to really burst onto the scene here in the next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["206566"],"_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-679d09ef093ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='206566' first='Kaiden' last='Kent'] is certainly one of the best in the 2028 class. I have covered Kent for a while now and just years ago you could tell Kent would be special. He has a tremendous work ethic, he's a son of a great coach who instills great things in him and it shows on and off the field. Kent is lockdown and has the footwork to really keep up with any receiver in the state. I have watched Kent up close in games and at camps and his ball skills are incredible to watch. Kent is a fearless player and that alone has him stand out. Kent is going to certainly blow up this season in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["950178"],"_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-679d09ef09433"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spivey is one of the most dynamic players in the entire Nation in this 2028 class. His sheer ability to make defenders miss with the ball in his hands is certainly something that's catches eyes of coaches and scouts. He is a guy who can dominate out of the backfield at the running back position, he can split out wide at receiver and dice up a defense and defensively he is supremely fast, quick and physical on defense laying big hits. He's a guy who can do it all and he's going to have a break through season this year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["950765"],"_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-679d09ef09476"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I worked with Reid closely at a camp and I was extremely impressed with his ability to process the game quickly and apply it to his game. The ability he's got the all-around running style that most running backs would love to have. Reid Jr. is going to be a force within the 2028 class this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["410826"],"_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-679d09ef094b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pope is a guy I have covered for a couple of years now and he's got tremendous ability and work ethic which explains a lot of why he's proven to be so dominate. He has great size and as he continues to develop, he's going to be more of a force. Pope displayed many times last season of why his potential is so high. This season is going to be a monster year for Pope and he is among in the top of the list in the 2028 class as far as I am concerned because his limit is no limit, Pope is special and I expect him to put that on the National scale this year and add even more offers to his list.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
