2027 Rankings Update: Under-the-Radar Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Breaking down some unoffered rankings risers from Prep Redzone Nevada's latest update to the 2027 rankings. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596120"],"_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-680d9b1605db7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryant was a significant riser in the latest 2027 rankings, jumping up into the overall top-20 and the #3 spot for the OL group. He's one of the top unoffered prospects in the state to this point and presents obvious D-I upside in his natural size and strength at 6'5"/300. He moves his feet well, overpowers defenders once he gets his hands on them, and moves bodies in the run game. Bryant's a sure-fire offer now candidate that should see his first offer come in before his junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Centennial HS 2027 Spotlight<br>Laseth “Seth” Bryant <a href="https://twitter.com/Lasethjr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Lasethjr</a> <br>Height: 6'4<br>Weight: 300lbs<br>GPA: 3.3<br>Offers: None yet<br>Film: <a href="https://t.co/TtCrv5AuzA">https://t.co/TtCrv5AuzA</a><br><br>Seth didn't play offensive line until June of this past year, and end up making 2nd Team All State!

The #6-DB out of Liberty has made waves on the offseason circuit with some impressive showings at recent camps and 7v7 events. Displays great man-coverage traits in his physicality at the LOS, speed and agility mirroring WRs, and ability to disrupt at the catch-point with his length. Black's one of Nevada's top unoffered DBs among a class loaded with talent at the position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">My clips from <a href="https://twitter.com/NxgnCamps?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NxgnCamps</a> Arizona <br>MVP <a href="https://twitter.com/Libertyotball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Libertyotball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/muraco_lhs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@muraco_lhs</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MrY2thab?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MrY2thab</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachKaipo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachKaipo</a> <a href="https://t.co/9RHFFkZvJJ">pic.twitter.com/9RHFFkZvJJ</a></p>&mdash; Kamari “KB” Black (@KamariBlack05) <a href="https://twitter.com/KamariBlack05/status/1889815965371867286?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["581822"],"_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-680d9b1605eaa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walker is a DB that's been on the PRZ NV radar since his freshman season and made his biggest leap in the rankings in this latest update. He's shown elite upside this offseason with his high-level combination of speed, footwork and ball skills in coverage. It's likely only a matter of time before he picks up his first D-I with the physical tools and coverage skillset he brings to the table. Expect Walker to continue to put his name on the Nevada radar with a productive junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">had a great time a the <a href="https://twitter.com/recruitvegas?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@recruitvegas</a> yesterday here's some reps i had and my 40 yard dash 4.50 <a href="https://t.co/1WjDbPYKAY">pic.twitter.com/1WjDbPYKAY</a></p>&mdash; Armani “Buddha” Walker (@maniexoticc) <a href="https://twitter.com/maniexoticc/status/1908897973389668727?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 6, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1599390"],"_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-680d9b1605f16"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Paogofie put his name on the radar with a strong sophomore season in the fall. Led Liberty's defense in tackles with 46 total and 4 TFLs as a sophomore. He's a physical, hard-hitting safety that should develop into a promising SS prospect as he continues to grow and develop. Shows flashes of athleticism in coverage over the slot and can punish receivers in space. Paogofie holds potential to develop into one of the top S prospects in Nevada's 2027 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">[player_tooltip player_id='1599390' first='Maximus' last='Paogofie'] freshmen season very quick and explosive with covering ground <a href="https://t.co/8Yf3rT6nj8">pic.twitter.com/8Yf3rT6nj8</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1599390' first='Maximus' last='Paogofie'] (@maxpaogofie) <a href="https://twitter.com/maxpaogofie/status/1894455875475313151?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 25, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596114"],"_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-680d9b1605f80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McDonald was a new addition to PRZ NV's 2027 rankings in January and has continued to rise up the rankings in this latest update. The 6'1"/200 two-way player out of Spanish Springs has had a productive offseason thus far showing his natural size, physicality, and ability to box out smaller defenders at 6'1"/200. Totaled over 450 yards and 3 TDs on 27 catches as a sophomore and could develop into a future TE prospect given his frame and measurables. McDonald's firmly on the northern Nevada radar heading into his junior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great time <a href="https://twitter.com/RVCshowcase?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RVCshowcase</a> this weekend!
