<p class="text-gray-700">A two-way standout just outside of Atlanta who showed toughness on defense, Robinson is a sure-tackler who may be undersized, but plays bigger than his 6-foot-0 180-pound frame. He's a hard-working defender who tackles well and had a giant junior season where he made 100 tackles, 16 TFLs and two sacks with four forced fumbles. He's an active defender who should see a new ranking in the next Prep Redzone update.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An impressive defensive back flying under the radar in metro-Atlanta, this lean, athletic safety had no problem making big tackles throughout the 2024 season. A hard-hitting defender who can also make plays in coverage, McKenzie made 97 tackles last season while breaking up 10 passes and forcing two fumbles. He's an active defensive back with strong instincts who should be even better during his final season in 2025.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An Atlanta native who really shined last season as a junior, Ellerman was a tackling machine who understands the position and consistently found his way to the ball-carrier. He reacts quickly and attacks, then shows good technique when making a strong tackle. He brings a high football IQ and does a great job of dissecting plays before they unfold. He made an impressive 98 tackles, nine TFLS, one INT, three forced fumbles, and two pass-breakups. Look for him to be added to the next 2026 Prep Redzone rankings.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">An active, hard-hitting linebacker out of Gwinnett County, Robinson showed last fall that not only can he tackle, but that he can cover a lot of ground in coverage. He closes well not only on the ball-carrier, but down the field in coverage. He's a smart, high IQ defender who made 95 tackles, 13 TFLs, and four sacks to go along with one INT, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. Look for him to be one of the top defenders in the region next season as a senior.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">A metro-Atlanta defender who reacts quickly and can make a big tackle in the open field, McMichael is one of the more productive linebackers returning in the area for the 2025 season. As a junior, this sure-tackling defender made an impressive 87 tackles, 6.5 TFLs, two sacks, and three fumble recoveries. He has a nose for the ball and doesn't lack physicality. He's bound for a major senior season and will be ranked in the latest</p>
