<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These 2028 prospects could light up the stat sheet during their sophomore seasons this fall...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1670547"],"_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-684c4d4ce36bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A shifty, versatile back out of North Georgia who opened a lot of eyes last season as a freshman, Nalls saw big offers come his way recently from Duke, Florida State, Minnesota, and Memphis. He's one of the top 2028 running backs in the state who runs with authority, balance, and has the ability to help catch passes out of the backfield. He shows quick feet, good burst, and is bound for a gigantic sophomore season for the mighty Calhoun Yellow Jackets in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1688938"],"_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-684c4d4ce3729"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A small-town, small-classification linebacker who was extremely productive last season, Holton is a sure-tackling defender with a promising frame who plays with aggression and brings a level of physicality to the position. He made 80 total tackles, 11 TFLs and three QB hurries. He made at least six tackles in every game and should be even better as a sophomore in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1633221"],"_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-684c4d4ce3785"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An explosive outside linebacker on the rise in Cobb County, this Kennesaw native is one of the top young defenders in the Kennesaw/Marietta area who camped at Alabama over the weekend and left with an offer from the Crimson Tide. He shows an outstanding first step and knows how to attack and take down the quarterback in the backfield. He's disruptive, plays hard, and has a chance to really shine on a weekly basis in year two next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1524561"],"_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-684c4d4ce37dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An active defender with size, toughness, and impressive closing speed, Lawless is an easy Power Four talent who should continue to see his ranking rise in the 2028 class. He shows good instincts, runs well and doesn't look like a freshman at 6-foot-2 200-pounds. He's one of the top returning 2028 defenders in the region and is coming off a strong freshman season where he made 30 tackles, eight TFLs and four sacks. Look for his numbers to be even better in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1652985"],"_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-684c4d4ce3834"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the state's most productive freshman wide receivers from last season, Matthews is coming off a promising first season in 2024 where he hauled in 33 passes for 422 yards and six touchdowns. He can make a tough catch in traffic, has room to put on more size and muscle, quick feet, and the potential to have a true breakout season next fall as a sophomore. He's one of the top returning wideouts in the region and will be an easy addition to the next 2028 Prep Redzone update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
