He made an impressive 53 tackles for a first-year player to go along with five sacks and two forced fumbles. He's the No. 1 DL prospect and the No. 7 overall prospect in the state according to the latest rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["403133"],"_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-67f7e460cbbdb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A promising EDGE defender in Gwinnett County with an impressive 6-foot-6 230-pound frame, Webb-Scott has the field some as a freshman for the mighty Buford Wolves last year, making 11 tackles, but his playing time should increase in a big way as a sophomore in 2025. He's a big-time prospect on the rise who could turn into a very productive defender over the next several years. If he continues to add more wight and develop his craft as a pass-rusher, more offers should be rolling in over the next two seasons. He's ranked as the No. 1 EDGE and the No. 28 overall prospect in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1652999"],"_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-67f7e460cbc24"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young defenders in Cobb County, Ham is an active EDGE defender with impressive length, pursuit, and natural athleticism. A multi-sport standout who also shines on the basketball court, Ham more than held his own as a freshman last season on the gridiron where he made 25 tackles, three sacks and a pass deflection. His talent, size, and potential are easy to see and he has a chance to have a breakout sophomore season next fall. He's currently ranked as the No. 2 EDGE defender and the No. 49 overall prospect in the state for the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["952494"],"_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-67f7e460cbc6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more productive defenders across the state in the 2028 class, Moses was outstanding as a freshman last season where he lit up the stat sheet with 48 tackles, 16 TFLs and five sacks. He's an active, disruptive defender with excellent size for his age at 6-foot-3 265-pounds. He's big, physical, and has his best football ahead of him. He's now ranked as the No. 68 overall prospect in the state for his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1199981"],"_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-67f7e460cbcaf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A big, powerful interior defensive linemen from metro-Atlanta, this Lithonia native brings natural strength and plenty of size at 6-foot-4 285-pounds. He's a consistent run defender who takes on blocks, fights them off, and attacks the ball-carrier. He held his own all season long for a young defender and earned offers this winter from major Power Five programs across the country. His best football is years ahead of him and he's now ranked as the No. 2 DL prospect and the No. 9 overall prospect in the state for the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
