He has a nose for the football, can fight off blocks, and natural finds his way to the play. He's a technically sound tackler who made 84 tackles, three TFLs, four QB pressures, one sack, three pass-breakups, and two forced fumbles. Look for him to have a giant junior season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378408"],"_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-6824acf60f58f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tough, hard-hitting linebacker who knows how to leave a bruise, Murray reacts quickly and closes well on the ball-carrier. He understands his role and brings an intimidating presence to the Lee County defense. He's one of the top returning linebackers in the area and currently ranked as the No. 9 LB prospect in the state for the 2027 class. As a sophomore, Murray made 80 tackles and 26 TFLs, proving to be one of the more productive defenders on the team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1673441"],"_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-6824acf60f5d8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A tackling machine from Macon who knows how to deliver a big hit, McGreggor is coming off a massive sophomore season where he made 97 tackles, six TFLs and two forced fumbles. He made 10+ tackles in five games last season and should put up even better numbers as a junior. He runs well, brings a 6-foot-1 190-pound frame and wraps up properly when bringing down the ball-carrier. He hits behind his pads and should be even better over his final two seasons if he keeps working hard and developing. He'll be added to the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings after a big season in 2024.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1673463"],"_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-6824ba875f554"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An active,versatile defender in metro-Atlanta, Levine is an under-the-radar linebacker who can line up all over the defense. He's a natural defender with strong instincts who can chase down the ball-carrier, attack the quarterback, and make plays in coverage. He's coming off a productive sophomore season where he made 77 tackles, forced four fumbles, five TFLs, two sacks and one fumble recovery. He was all over the field all the time and should have an even bigger season next fall as a junior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1673477"],"_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-6824ba875f5a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrated linebacker in metro-Atlanta, Ware is fresh off a really strong sophomore season for Sandy Creek where he made 72 tackles and two forced fumbles. He has a nose for the ball and does great job of sniffing out plays before they happen. He moves well for his size and brings a strong 6-foot-0 200-pound build. His best football is still to come and he's in store for a big junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
