2027: New Additions

In this edition, we look at some new faces to the rankings. Get to know them!    Ioane goes from unranked to the 11th overall prospect. He has all the traits and tools you want in a potentially elite pass rusher. Ioane has spent time this offseason on the 7s circuit and showcasing his footwork and hands as a receiver, but his future is on the other side of the ball, where he is explosive off the line, and has an array of moves and shows good physicality already. Ioane is a player who can easily add 30 lbs to his frame by the time he is a Senior. He has exceptional qualities and will be a Power-Four recruit.     Fineanganofo goes from unranked to 36th overall and the fourth-ranked offensive lineman. He has great size and can work effectively inside or outside, possesses a strong base, quick feet, good movement, and showcases good strength and physicality. He does a good job at pass protection and is a great run-blocking lineman. He's got a great upside with Power-Four potential.     Cocci comes in as a new prospect to the state and lands as the 47th overall prospect. He'll play some H-Back and TE on offense, but his primary position will be as a Linebacker. He shows great instincts, textbook tackling form, and good lateral movement, and is a tackling machine. He plays with great physicality and infuses life into a defense.     Cocci goes from unranked to the 50th-ranked prospect in the state and the QB7. He is a dual-threat specialist and a power runner. He processes defenses well, gets to his second reads, and has a good deep ball. He's done well this offseason with 7s, and will look to transfer his dominating game from back east, in the Beehive State.     Vakapuna goes from unranked to the 52nd-ranked player and the LB7. He is a versatile backer who can play on-ball or off-ball, and he demonstrates good lateral movement, avoiding lost space, and possesses natural instincts. He has good physicality and speed for the position. The tools are there, and he's had a good offseason     Wilkinson goes from unranked to the 53rd-ranked prospect and the WR8. I've watched him live a few times this offseason during 7's events, and he's a player who has a knack for getting open, has good footwork, understands where to sit in zone coverages, has good ball tracking skills, and has strong hands. He can play inside or outside, but the slot should be his home where he can get free releases and make corners try to stick with him. He's primed for a big season and gets looks in recruiting.     Fiefia goes from unranked to the 54th-ranked prospect and the RB4 for the class. He's a player who's caught the eye this offseason and is a player with great size, soft hands, moves well laterally, and showcases good physicality in his game. He's got traits that will play at the next level and should have a fantastic season ahead.     Bishop goes from unranked to the 55th-ranked prospect in the state. He has good size, is physical, has good cover skills with hip fluidity, and is a player who moves well. He's set up for a great season and can showcase his traits that will get him looks regionally in recruiting.     Reutzel goes from unranked to the 59th prospect in the state. He si a player who moves well, has good twitch and has good hands. Reutzel creates separation and is a player who is just as talented as a cornerback.     Tuha goes from unranked to the 66th overall prospect and the EDGE9. He is a player who has a good first step, is light on his feet, and moves well laterally. He is a versatile player who can also drop back in coverage as a backer. Tuha has a good feel in space and does well on his heels as he is on his toes. I like him best as an edge rusher, but that versatility allows him to be well-versed in any game plan and in any defensive scheme. He has all the tools you want.    That was a look at some new names to the rankings.
