<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These 2028 prospects are bound for massive sophomore seasons this fall...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1670547"],"_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-6820f795dd30f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young backs across North Georgia, Nalls is a physical back with above-average speed who helped lead Calhoun all the way to a state championship last year. Just a freshman, Nalls showed impressive balance, vision, and the ability to catch out of the backfield. He sure didn't run like a freshman last year and already looks like a Power Four back at 5-foot-11 185-pounds. He opened a lot of eyes in year one and has a chance to run wild as a sophomore if he keeps working hard over the next three months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["969646"],"_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-6820f795dd38f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A North Georgia quarterback on the rise with a strong arm and a promising frame, Woods has a chance to have a breakout sophomore season under a new staff at Dalton. He'll be playing for a successful staff that can take his already impressive game to the next level. He showed last year as a freshman that he brings above-average arm strength, mobility, and accuracy down the field. IF he continues to develop and adds more muscle weight, Woods could turn into one of the better quarterbacks in North Georgia next season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["950083"],"_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-6820f795dd3df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A long, athletic linebacker on the rise just outside of Atlanta, McClendon is a promising defender off the edge who can set the edge and attack the quarterback. He wad buried behind some veteran linebackers last season, but his potential and talent is easy to see. It's led to recent offers from Ole Miss, East Carolina, and North Carolina with more coming over the next three years. Look for McClendon to have a giant second season next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1670627"],"_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-6820f795dd429"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A Middle Georgia receiver on the rise in the 2028 class, Cannon showed outstanding speed, agility, and explosiveness last year as a freshman. He's a weapon in the screen and short passing game and proved to be one of the more dangerous wideouts in the open field across Georgia for the 2028 class. He brings easy Power Four speed and recently earned offers from Tennessee, FAU and South Florida.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["891920"],"_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-6820f795dd47b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An impressive young cornerback South of Atlanta, Ivey is a lean cover-corner with strong instincts, quick feet, smooth hips and the ability to turn and run with receivers down the field. He's coming off a really strong freshman season where he made 20 tackles, 12 pass-breakups, one INT and one fumble recovery. His stock is on the rise and he's added new offers this week from Kentucky, Wake Forest, and Coastal Carolina. Look for him to see a boost in the next 2028 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
