Now with the graduation of standout defensive end [player_tooltip player_id='801105' first='Cameron' last='Binkowski'], Loveless will be the main cog up front on the Class 6 favorites. He has five division 1 offers already and we haven't approached Spring yet, chances are before the 2025 season kicks off he could have close to 20. Loveless was an All-Region selection at defensive tackle and he could very well lead the state in sacks this upcoming fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/HaydenLoveles26/status/1865233763174580282","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/HaydenLoveles26/status/1865233763174580282 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297625"],"_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-67c9af78783b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rustburg's [player_tooltip player_id='1297625' first='Ari' last='Reid'] is a FBS level linebacker and should start to get more offers in this new recruiting cycle. A hybrid linebacker with very good coverage skills, Reid had 5 pass break ups as a junior. The top 60th ranked prospect, Reid has garnered interest from a number of FCS level or higher schools. With both his work on the field and the classroom (3.5 GPA), Reid is going to be playing on Saturdays very soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AriiReid/status/1860679816539762716","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/AriiReid/status/1860679816539762716 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["853821"],"_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-67c9af78783fb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Not to be outdone by his teammate, defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='853821' first='Brandon' last='Murray'] is up to 10 offers and seemingly counting by the minute. Coming off a junior campaign that saw him obtain 20 Pass break ups and O touchdowns allowed, Murray is one of the top dbs in Virginia. He just recently clinched the indoor 300M state title in track, and is surely looking for one in football too. His play will show you that too, Murray is a lockdown corner.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/brandomurray2/status/1897474966893047907","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/brandomurray2/status/1897474966893047907 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298472"],"_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-67c9af7878444"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Osbourn Park has a number of defenders back in the fold for 2025 and All conference outside linebacker/defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1298472' first='Jonathan' last='Bray'] is one of them. Playing both sides of the ball he is scrappy young man with a non-stop motor. Fast and athletic enough to play multiple positions for Coach Holland this year, Bray should also be due for a rankings bump. He also boasts a ridiculous 4.2 GPA, with the Yellow Jackets upcoming camps, he should start to garner attention from college coaches soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297898"],"_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-67c9af787848b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1297898' first='Nana' last='Appouh'] is a man amongst boys up front for the Herndon Hornets, I watched him take over their game against Marshall last season, he is a beast. Now p to 6'5 and 220 lbs. Appouh is going to highly sought after by division 2 schools and higher very soon and is due for a rankings bump. He was a first team All-Liberty District selection as a junior and has all-state potential written all over him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/NFredua81/status/1855728021245681777","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/NFredua81/status/1855728021245681777 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
