<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We added 83 new players to our 2028 rankings in our spring update, and we're excited to introduce them.

He ran a 4.63 40 at 6-foot-5, showing his athletic upside. Interestingly, he participated as a wide receiver instead of quarterback, the latter of which he plays at Lincoln Charter. I'm not exactly sure which position he'll ultimately end up playing long-term, but the upside is intriguing enough to put him squarely on our radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1655115"],"_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-68482b3cdca38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I'm a fan of Cox's confidence at quarterback, as he's extremely willing to push the ball down the field. He's inexperienced and that showed at times last year, but Cox's upside is obvious. I love when young guys get a chance to play, even through some struggles and it appears that Cox could continue to develop into a great passer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1687753"],"_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-68482b3cdca91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bell was a full-time JV starter as a freshman, tossing 20 touchdowns to just four interceptions in 10 games. Bell's upside is obvious, as he's already 6'4" with great arm talent. I also love seeing guys get playing time at the JV level rather than simply sitting at the varsity level. He has a strong arm, even off-platform and he's one we're watching as he progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1613170"],"_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-68482b3cdcae9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sciranko performed well at the CFI Showcase, earning top performer honors despite his young age. He displayed accuracy and touch on his throws and wasn't rattled in high-pressure situations. I'll be interested to see how playing time shakes out as Northwest Cabarrus has some other talent at the quarterback position. But at the very least, Sciranko is squarely on our radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">New to Watchlist</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1149961' first='Braxton' last='Johnson']</strong>, Reidsville</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1624718' first='Brennen' last='Hough']</strong>, Jay M. Robinson</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1670881' first='Cainan' last='Kerchner']</strong>, Myers Park</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

We added 83 new players to our 2028 rankings in our spring update, and we're excited to introduce them. Because of their age and the state of the 2028 class, not every player has full varsity film. But, we've seen enough of these players to be excited about their potential development.
