The 6-foot-1 175-pounds shows strong hands in coverage with the ability to break quickly and make a big hit on the ball-carrier. He's coming off a strong junior season where he made 38 tackles, three TFLs, two INTs and one forced fumble with five more pass-breakups. He's a 2026 prospect on the rise bound for a giant senior season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1577608"],"_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-680a3ee2e04a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the fastest-rising defenders in Georgia, Lonon is a playmaking defensive lineman in Athens who earned a big offer this week from Virginia Tech. He's an active defender who sheds blocks consistently and has a promising 6-foot-3 260-pound frame. He's coming off a big junior season for Clarke Central where he made 51 tackles, 8 sacks, and 15 TFLs. He's one of the top returning defenders in Athens and should see a big boost in the next 2026 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1628976"],"_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-680a3ee2e0519"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A linebacker south of Atlanta who deserves more attention after an incredibly productive junior season, Jackson is seeing his recruitment pick up now with a new offer from Dartmouth. The thick, quick-reacting defender stands at 6-foot-0 210-pounds and does a good job of delivering a fundamentally sound hit on the ball-carrier. This sleeper linebacker made 103 total tackles to go along with 2.5 sacks, four TFLs, two forced fumbles and three pass-breakups. He has a true nose for the football and is likely bound for an even bigger senior season later this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["681166"],"_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-680a3ee2e0590"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top dual-threat in the metro-Atlanta area, this Roswell native is a natural athlete who can beat defenses with both his arms and his legs. He brings plenty of raw arm talent and should have a big senior season through the air if he continues to work and develop his craft. His athleticism allows him to buy time and create when plays break down and he has more than enough speed to take off down the field for big gains. His natural talent and potential is easy to see and he earned a new offer recently from Southern Miss. He brings easy D1-caliber athleticism and could see more offers come his way this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1661675"],"_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-680a3ee2e0606"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrated pass-rushers in Gwinnett County, Samuels is a physically gifted defensive lineman at 6-foot-4 270-pounds who sheds blocks with ease. He's quick off the snap and uses his length to fight off blocks before locating the ball-carrier. He hits hard and brings an intimidating presence to the Archer defense. His recruitment is on the rise and he earned a new Ivy League offer this week from Dartmouth. He'll also be added to the next 2026 Prep Redzone rankings at the end of the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
