<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our new Virginia Top 150 2028 is debuting by no later than next week, I believe you will find our new rankings quite interesting. A couple of standouts just for a preview below:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1014896"],"_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-6858380c90105"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gainesville's [player_tooltip player_id='1014896' first='Mattox' last='Ratcliff'] looks next in line to what already is an impressive history of talent for the Cardinals offensive line. Just over 6'1 and a solid frame, Ratcliff can play guard or center right away for Coach Cage's new squad. He is powerful and nasty off the snap, expect him to figure in to a lot of playing time as a sophomore in the always loaded Cedar Run district. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MattoxRatcliff_/status/1858619851449004224","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/MattoxRatcliff_/status/1858619851449004224 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1566389"],"_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-6858380c9017d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I watched [player_tooltip player_id='1566389' first='Malachi' last='Lee'] be one of the few wideouts last fall get behind that stout Madison Warhawks defense. Westfield's two way all star [player_tooltip player_id='1566389' first='Malachi' last='Lee'] did just that and more the Bulldogs in 2024. He has elite speed at 6'2 and 185 lbs. Picking up his first offer this past week from Syracuse, you can expect Lee to be playing Power 4 football in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Malachi_ballin1/status/1935726594581999983","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Malachi_ballin1/status/1935726594581999983 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1571526"],"_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-6858380c901d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Making countless plays for the Eagles a season ago, expect Majeed to debut high in this group next Friday. He too has 1 offer from Syracuse which should be no surprise considering he had 5 touchdowns as a freshman. Playing for Colonial Forge an expected state title contender, [player_tooltip player_id='1571526' first='Darion' last='Majeed'] will be having an impactful fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/darion_majeed/status/1887653683388649916","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/darion_majeed/status/1887653683388649916 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Osbourn, Oscar Smith and Saint James Academy are very well represented:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Osbourn Eagles began their rebuild last season with a 6-4 record in what has to be considered one of the toughest districts in Virginia. Expect the Eagles to have 2 prospects in our top 20, and more in our top 150 overall. Oscar Smith is fresh off a remarkable state championship and has plenty of talent in each class returning for another. The 2028 class will not disappoint Tigers fans I can assure you of that. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Recently rebuilt under two time Class 6 State Championship Head Coach Daryl Overton, the Saint James Academy will have two squads playing a potential national schedule. Reading that last sentence you should know that Coach Overton and his outstanding coaching staff have incredible prospects coming in for each class. As they did in our 2027 class rankings last month, Saint James Academy will be making their mark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->

Our new Virginia Top 150 2028 is debuting by no later than next week, I believe you will find our new rankings quite interesting. A couple of standouts just for a preview below:
