<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2028 class update is out, and today we're highlighting 5 of the recruits who moved up the highest and why they did.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["447762"],"_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-685ad4771852f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Prather has all the raw tools you look for in a quarterback. He's long, athletic, and already built like a prospect with a frame that can keep filling out. His quick release and ability to drop in a deep ball with touch are big strengths, and he's only scratching the surface. The multi-sport background shows in how fluid he is with his mechanics and movement, and the upside is obvious. He's a name schools are already starting to circle for good reason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1143968"],"_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-685ad47718585"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Corey looked sharp at camp and backed up the buzz around him. He's got a solid build and looks ahead of schedule development-wise. Working with X-Factor QB has helped and will be one of the tools in his bag. His throwing motion is smooth, he's accurate to all levels, and the timing is already there. He hasn't even taken over as the full-time starter yet, but it seems pretty clear he will be a stud once the lights come on this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1560916"],"_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-685ad477185d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vaughn held his own as a freshman on Varsity and made it clear he belongs. He's a high motor player who plays with effort and physicality, especially against the run. He finished the season with 25 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, and a sack, showing he can make plays behind the line and stay active in the front seven. For a freshman at that level, it was a strong year and one that sets the stage for a big leap heading into year two.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1153030"],"_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-685ad47718618"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCoy got his feet wet as a freshman and showed he belonged. He's a longer back with good top-end speed and the ability to slide through tight windows when things get congested. His agility stood out and he's got enough burst to flip the field. He finished with 367 yards and 4 touchdowns and looks like someone the staff will rely on more and more as he continues to grow into his frame.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1581272"],"_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-685ad4771865b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Conover is a versatile defender who can line up at multiple spots and be effective. He's got the range to drop back when needed, but he's at his best creating pressure and disrupting plays in the backfield. He plays with effort, doesn't give up on reps, and can find another way to get home when the first move doesn't hit. If he keeps developing, he's the kind of guy that could give offenses serious problems.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The 2028 class update is out, and today we're highlighting 5 of the recruits who moved up the highest and why they did.
