5 2028s Who Caught My Eye Earlier this Month

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I'll admit it, I've been really busy over the past month. With everything we've been doing here on the site, some ideas/plans/prospects haven't gotten the attention they should have here at the beginning of May. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With that being said, we have some catching up to do with our 2028s!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here are some of the 2028s who really stood out to me earlier this month. These guys seriously impressed me and are starting to pick up attention for good reason!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As always, make sure to watch their tape down below!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680275"],"_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-68352f1c8bd2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1680275' first='John' last='Semaj Green'] is an up-and-coming LB/EDGE out of Mobile who started getting noticed earlier this month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's really hard to ignore the obvious with Green. He's 6'2 220 lbs as a freshman in high school. At LB/EDGE, that's more than enough for him to be a huge mismatch in the trenches against fellow sophomores and even upperclassmen this upcoming fall. If what I'm hearing about him is true, which I am sure it is, we have a seriously talented player here who's soon to pick up a lot of collegiate attention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earlier this month, Green picked up offers from Liberty and Southern Miss!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keep track of Green this upcoming fall, he's heading into a huge second year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680281"],"_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-68352f1c8bd85"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1680281' first='Gabriel' last='Ervin'] is an up-and-coming NG out of Gulf Shores who should be on everyone's radar going into this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6'0 250, Ervin already has the size and athleticism to make some seriously impressive plays in the trenches. He plays with great leverage, has impressive strength/power, and can explode out of his stance to win matchups at the line of scrimmage. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At the beginning of this month, Ervin picked up his first offer from USF! With his talent, I'm sure more will be heading his way soon- we'll be on the lookout. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Make sure you watch out for Ervin and this Gulf Shores defense this fall- they've got big things in store.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680285"],"_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-68352f1c8bdd9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1680285' first='Adler' last='McGarry'] is a TE/WR out of Thompson who could be a huge part of their offense over the next few years.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McGarry is a dual-sport athlete in both football and basketball at a school that is really great at developing talent in both sports. When you pair that with the fact he's already 6'4 210 pounds as a freshman in high school, it gives people like me who cover sports a lot to be excited about. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think McGarry can be a big-time weapon in his team's passing attack, and when you think about the rest of the talent in Thompson's 2028/2029 class, it makes you really wonder about what's to come in the future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earlier this month, McGarry picked up an offer from Troy! It's going to be really exciting watching him in both sports over the next few seasons.

Once he's in the open field, Garcia is seriously hard to stop.
