<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We have officially released a new set of rankings for the class of 2028 in Arkansas. In this article, we will showcase the 2028 edge rushers with analysis. This is the final class for the updated spring rankings.

He displays a good burst off the LOS, using his foot quickness, hand placement, and pad level to create leverage and drive the OL back into the backfield. As a result, this generates pressure on the quarterback or allows him to make plays against the run at the line of scrimmage. Additionally, Moseley is a high-motor prospect who plays with relentless effort, consistently chasing down ball carriers from sideline to sideline. He's a prospect to add to the recruiting board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 79″ Wingspan</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bennettmoseleyy/status/1866703065551626530","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bennettmoseleyy/status/1866703065551626530 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1284687"],"_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-67e56d957051b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1284687' first='Elijah' last='Branch'] was impressive at our camp in January. He displays a solid upfield burst off the LOS and has solid awareness of both gap and zone runs. He possesses solid lower-body strength and power, enabling him to disrupt both the run and pass by driving back the offensive linemen to create pressure. Off the snap, he effectively uses his hands to quickly shed blockers and make plays in the backfield or at the LOS. He can also diagnose screens quickly. He's a player to watch throughout 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Note – 3.3 GPA</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ElijahABranch/status/1901628355746611544","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ElijahABranch/status/1901628355746611544 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1192047"],"_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-67e56d957056a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1192047' first='Drake' last='Woodard'] is on the rise and is considered a potential breakout candidate in 2025.
