Breakout Prospects To Know In The 2028 Class

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These 2028 prospects will be on everyone's radar very soon...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- 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-67a3916eb422d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A quick-reacting defensive end on the rise who saw the field as a freshman last year for an outstanding Cartersville program, Pope brings excellent size for his age at 6-foot-2 200-pounds who is on pace to be one of the top pass-rushers in North Georgia in the 2028 class. As a freshman, Pope made 13 tackles and forced a fumble. If he continues to add weight and muscle while developing his craft, Pope has a chance to have a breakout sophomore season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1217853"],"_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-67a3916eb42b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A South Georgia quarterback on the rise who showed a lot of promise last season as a freshman, Puckett plays for a run-heavy Cairo team but flashed a big arm, mobility, and the ability to throw on the run. He's got a strong arm for his age and can make plays with his legs, something that should help him have a big sophomore season next fall as a sophomore. He's a good athlete, and if he works hard this off-season and can show he can be a safe, consistent passer, Puckett could be one of the better quarterbacks in the area next fall. Look for him to be added to the next 2028 Prep Redzone rankings this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["994376"],"_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-67a3916eb4309"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young quarterbacks West of Atlanta, this talented East Paulding passer showed a lot of potential last year as a freshman, being careful with the ball while getting the ball out quickly to his receivers. He was accurate, completing 67% of his passes, which is an impressive number for a freshman. He throws well on the run, shows good pocket presence, and could have a really big sophomore season in the fall if he continues to add weight and improves his arm strength. Look for Spence to lead East Paulding to a strong season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["416435"],"_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-67a3916eb4351"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the better 2028 pass-rushers across the state, this talented freshman brings a promising 6-foot-2 220-pound frame with a max-effort style of play. Collins Hill is loaded with talented defenders, so while Hurst had to wait patiently to see the field, his natural talent and ability to attack the quarterback was easy to see. He's quick off the snap and has a chance to make a big name for himself next season as a sophomore if he continues to perfect his craft this offseason. He has a high-ceiling and it's only a matter of time before big offers start flooding his way down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1091397"],"_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-67a3916eb43aa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy wide receiver in the Atlanta area who can really run and elude defenders down the field, Lewis is a quick, twitchy pass-catcher who sure didn't play like a freshman last fall. The promising receiver hauled in 25 passes for 403 yards and two touchdowns. He's a vertical threat who tracks the ball well and can haul in a pass down the field. He's tough to corral after the catch and should be even better next fall as a sophomore if he keeps working hard and develops his craft over the next six months. Lewis easily has the potential to have a breakout season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
