<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>It's likely to see each class with some talent at each one. However, North Carolina has deep talent in every class across the board and from top to bottom.

In the trenches it's a must you have to have a "Big Dog" mentality because it's what the position requires if we are being honest here. It's not for everyone and boy does it make or break a team. Being a force in the trenches, Castaldo brings it every play. You can count on him to be one of the better players to come out of the 2030 class in North Carolina. It's a must you know him now!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1697799"],"_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-685ce4ec301b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At the defensive back and wide out spot, Jackson is a complete player on either end or side of the football field. His skills are second to none in the 2030 class at his position and he is a player that is a big play awaiting to happen at any moment in time. He is a stud on the gridiron and he's a must know now!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1697801"],"_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-685ce4ec30209"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1697801' first='Kayden' last='Lynch'] is an exceptional defensive back and he's only going to continue to develop into a greater defensive back as he develops even more skills and obviously develops all-around as all middle school athletes do. He is going to be a name to know for sure, because he already is a name in the 2030 class!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1697804"],"_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-685ce4ec30265"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1697804' first='Henry' last='Strange'] is a quarterback who can really make plays showing he's an all-around kind of quarterback. He's a spectacular athlete and is someone in the 2031 class to know of. His skill set sets him apart and his game IQ is another separator from his competition. Look out for Strange in this class in NC!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1697809"],"_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-685ce4ec302b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A super playmaker in the 2030 class in the state of North Carolina is [player_tooltip player_id='1697809' first='DaQuann' last='Pride']. Pride is an exceptional talent and athlete who can make plays any and every time he is on the gridiron. One thing is for certain is that you know him now because he is going to continue developing those skills and will be a major force that he already is even on the next level. He will be a force this year!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

It's likely to see each class with some talent at each one. However, North Carolina has deep talent in every class across the board and from top to bottom. No matter the position on the gridiron, they have it. Let's dive into some of these talents in the 2030 and 2031 classes coming up quickly!
