The 6-foot-1 190-pounder was extremely active against the run as a sophomore last fall as he made 71 tackles, four pass-breakups, one forced fumble and one blocked punt. He's a strong overall athlete and earned a big offer over the weekend from the in-state Georgia Bulldogs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1214548"],"_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-67fd4785b3d2a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top two-way players across the state in the 2027 class. Brown is a tough, gritty linebacker and running back for the mighty Jefferson Dragons. Ranked as the No. 3 LB prospect in the state, Brown made an impressive 152 tackles, 14 TFLs, two sacks, and three fumble recoveries. He has a nose for the football, is fundamentally sound when tackling, and earned a new offer over the weekend from the in-state Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1647177"],"_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-67fd4785b3da7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young interior defensive linemen across the state, Patmon is ranked as the No. 3 DL prospect and the No. 15 overall prospect in Georgia for his class after a strong sophomore season in 2024. He brings excellent size at 6-foot-4 295-pounds with impressive quickness, quick hands, and a strong motor that allows him to attack the ball-carrier. He's a force in the middle of the trenches and was tough to block all season long last year. He ended his sophomore season with 34 tackles and two sacks but should see his numbers improve in a big way as a junior. He added a new offer from Alabama and should see more come his way soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1333733"],"_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-67fd4785b3e22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top offensive tackle prospects in the Atlanta area and one of the best across Georgia in the 2027 class, this Douglas County lineman brings a lean frame, natural strength, and versatility as he impressed at both left and right tackle last fall. Playing for one of the top programs in the classification, Epelle was outstanding as a sophomore and should be even better as a junior in 2024. He's ranked as the No. 14 overall prospect in the state and earned a big new offer recently from the Ole Miss Rebels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["662615"],"_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-67fd4785b3e9b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic back with plenty of speed at 5-foot-1 185-pounds, Newkirk was outstanding last season for the Ola Mustangs, rushing for 690 yards on just 92 carries for an impressive 7.5 yards per carry. He showed quick feet, excellent burst, and breakaway speed that allowed him to find the end-zone eight times. He showed easy Power Four talent and should be even better as a junior with the Gainesville Red Elephants this fall. He's one of the top 2027 running backs in Georgia and earned a big SEC offer recently from the Florida Gators.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
