The playmaking defensive back brings a lengthy frame at 6-foot-1 175-pounds, has above-average speed, strong ball skills, and was consistently one of the best athletes on the field last season. Look for him to make a big jump in the next 2026 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1280324"],"_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-68473d8be6e54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An impressive defensive back who made a commitment this weekend to Tulsa, Byrd is coming off a big junior season for Kennesaw Mountain where he made consistent plays in coverage. He brings D1-caliber size, closes well on receivers, and knows how to break up passes down the field. He's also a strong run defender who will make his way to Langston Hughes next season as a senior. He has the potential to have a big 2024 season and will do it committed to the Golden Hurricanes.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596272"],"_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-68473d8be6e9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An impressive South Georgia wideout with size, speed, and the ability to stretch the field, Dunbar is a big-time weapon with a lean 6-foot-5 175-pound frame who knows how to jump and pluck the ball out of the air. He's tough to stay with down the field and is coming off a strong junior season where he caught 26 passes for 476 yards and seven touchdowns. He's a playmaking pass-catcher who made a big commitment over the weekend to Pittsburgh. He committed to the Panthers over Georgia Tech, Duke, West Virginia, Michigan State, among others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["682963"],"_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-68473d8be6ee1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A quick, hard-hitting linebacker with impressive instincts and closing speed, Aguirre is one of the top linebacker prospects south of Atlanta who made his verbal commitment to N.C State over the weekend. A sure-tackling defender who lived in the backfield last season, Aguirre is coming off a giant junior season where he made 57 tackles, 14 TFLs and two INTs. He flashes big-play ability and can disrupt a drive on any particular play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1576072"],"_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-68473d8be6f25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top DB prospects across the South, Dyer is a physically-gifted cornerback for Duluth who was previously committed to South Carolina. Now, after an official visit to USC, Dyer has made his commitment to the Trojans. He's technically sound in coverage who runs well and plays the ball like a receiver. He's one of the top cornerback prospects in the South who is currently ranked as the No. 25 overall prospect in Georgia for the 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1319900"],"_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-68473d8be6f67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top offensive line prospects in the metro-Atlanta area and one of the more versatile linemen in the state, Lewis took a big official visit to the University of Georgia over the weekend and made his commitment this week to play for the in-state Bulldogs. He's a mean, aggressive right tackle who will likely slide inside and play center when he gets to Athens. He's a powerful, fundamentally sound lineman who delivered pancakes all season long against really quality competition week after week. How, he's staying in the state and part of Georgia's 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
