He shows quick feet, impressive speed, fluid hips, and the ability to make a play on the football. He's a natural athletic who can really run and wraps up the ball-carrier consistently. He made a big jump all the way to the No. 1 DB spot and the No. 5 overall prospect in the state for the latest 2027 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1630257"],"_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-67eeaf1c604e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young athletes across Middle Georgia, this Macon native is a multi-sport standout who can do a little bit of everything on the gridiron. He's a playmaking safety on defense who can also make plays on special teams and as a pass-catcher on offense. He already has a Power Four frame at 6-foot-2 185-pounds who can really run. He's a promising safety who already holds a handful of major college offers. He's now ranked by Prep Redzone as the No. 4 DB and the No. 13 overall prospect in Georgia for the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1647198"],"_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-67eeaf1c6054d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic defensive back with impressive length, technique, and natural cover skills, Johnson is a big-time playmaker who plays the ball like a receiver from his cornerback position. He shows great instincts against the run, showing impressive pursuit with the ability to make a sound, secure tackle in the open field and sometimes in the backfield. There's a lot to like about his game and this potential. Now, he's ranked in the latest 2027 rankings as the No. 9 DB prospect and the No. 53 overall prospect in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["755889"],"_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-67eeaf1c605ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another promising cornerback with excellent range, strong hands, and the ability to cover down the field, Wallace has a long 6-foot-2 175-pound frame and was a consistent defensive back last season for a Newton program that consistently produces high-level cornerbacks. He's one of the top 2027 defensive back prospects in metro-Atlanta and will likely see his ranking increase more and more over time. He's currently ranked as the No. 27 DB and the No. 210 overall prospect in his class according to Prep Redzone.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1648899"],"_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-67eeaf1c6060b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A ball-hawk at the cornerback position who picked off an eye-opening 10 passes last year on defense, Haley is a dynamic prospect up in Flowery Branch who made big plays in all three area of the game. One of the more productive defensive backs across the state among all classifications last year, Haley is a playmaking machine who made quarterbacks pay just about every time they threw it his way. He deserved to be added to the latest rankings and is now ranked by Prep Redzone as the No. 14 DB and the No. 80 overall prospect in the state for the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
