<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Friendly reminder when subscribing to use my code Frederick30 for a discount</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Picking back up from earlier this week, I am seeing a number of 2026 kids that are gaining interest from Division 1 schools. A breakdown of a few more to be on your radar:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1403573"],"_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-67e55ad09cfa0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Transferring to Western Albemarle a year ago has done wonders for talented receiver RJ Corbey. Nabbing 7 touchdowns and 54 receptions, that landed him First Team All District selections as a junior. Let me tell you he is one tough young man going over the middle, he does not seem to flinch with a big hit incoming. He also has impressive strength and ball skills, I counted at least 5 different times in his film where he absolutely "Mossed" a defender. The Patriot League is starting to show interest in Corbey and I could see why. A route running technician I would not shocked to see him putting up impressive numbers for any school in that conference. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RJcorbey/status/1859774175579377979","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/RJcorbey/status/1859774175579377979 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297928"],"_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-67e55ad09d00d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speaking of Patriot League interest, the quarterback for the Warriors can sling it and should spark the entire conferences interest. [player_tooltip player_id='1297928' first='Gray' last='Heilman'] has a cannon and sees the field very well, love watching him connect with Corbey fun duo to watch. Heilman is 6'3 and is very evasive in the pocket, you can imagine him and Corbey connecting at the next level soon. A 4.2 GPA to boot, Heilman will be playing on Saturdays in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/gray_heilman7/status/1899989655677743325","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/gray_heilman7/status/1899989655677743325 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1637995"],"_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-67e55ad09d056"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speed merchant and excellent wide receiver [player_tooltip player_id='1637995' first='Tre' last='Dawyot'] playing for Glenvar High School is underrated. A first team all district punt returner last fall, Dawyot's future may be on offense, really like how deceptive he is with his route running. His speed is there and he is the anchor on their 4x100 meter relay team. The young man is a multi sport star, excelling for the Highlanders in basketball and of course track &amp;field. Remember his name his speed alone should get him to the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/tre_dawyot/status/1902194061051592785","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/tre_dawyot/status/1902194061051592785 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297879"],"_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-67e562ba3c069"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Who says Major institutions do not recruit Mclean High School athletes? Certainly is not the case with star tight end Aiden Reid receiving multiple Division 1 offers within the last few weeks. The 6'5 agile tight end has picked up FBS offers from Colgate, Columbia, Maine and Towson. More are on the way for the Highlanders all star, Reid is one of the best tight ends in the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/areid_/status/1905049597900161313","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/areid_/status/1905049597900161313 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297856"],"_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-67e562ba3c0d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of our January showcase top performers is continuing his upward trend with more offers coming in daily. Manchester star defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1297856' first='Jayden' last='Ballard'] has offers from Fordham, Monmouth and Old Dominion. Like a number of of top prospects Ballard does not just star for the Lancer football team, he performs at a high level in the long and triple jump for the track team as well. 3.5 GPA and upwards trajectory are many of the reasons why you should expect to see him at the Division 1 level very soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaydenBallard_/status/1905055446475419756"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JaydenBallard_/status/1905055446475419756 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
