Updated 2028 Rankings: New Additions (Part 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Earlier today we released the updated 2028 rankings. Here are 10 of the top new Additions:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684452' first='Nijion' last='Bokor'], Albuquerque High</strong>: Bokor possesses great size at 6-foot-3 and competes in football, power lifting and track. He's an exceptional multi-sport athlete. The Bulldogs plan to utilize him as a defensive end in 2025. Bokor has the potential to develop into one of the top DEs in the Albuquerque Metro Region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684458' first='Sean' last='Cruz'], Carlsbad</strong>: Cruz may be young but he's incredibly strong. He finished third in the 308-pound class at the state powerlifting championships in April. The Cavemen expect him to anchor the D-Line from his nose tackle spot. Potentially dominant player at one of football's most physically demanding position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684435' first='Terry' last='Maes'], Cibola</strong>: The Cougars eye a youth movement in David Howes' first season as head coach and Maes promises to become the face of the Cibola program. He has good size (6-2, 180) and a strong throwing arm. After a couple of down seasons, Maes could be the guy to lead the revival of the Cibola program.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684760' first='Victor' last='Rey Mirabal'], Las Cruces</strong>: Mirabal has the size (6-2, 270 pounds) to compete this season for playing at offensive or defensive line for the Bulldawgs. Definitely an up-and-comer in the trenches. Also a standout baseball player. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684424' first='Conlin' last='McCool'], Hobbs</strong>: McCool is currently competing for starting QB job at Hobbs. Most likely, he'll be the Eagles' backup in 2025. McCool has very good size (6-0, 180) for a young quarterback. Don't be surprised if he sees meaningful action this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684742' first='Ulises' last='Montanez'], Artesia</strong>: Montanez is an up-and-coming DB in southern New Mexico. He's also very fast. He holds the 9^th-grade record in Artesia for fastest 400 meters. Martinez could make an impact in the Bulldogs secondary very soon. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684478' first='Rylan' last='Roof'], Sandia</strong>: A transfer from Texas, the 6-foot-1, 270-pound Roof could become the anchor of Sandia's new look offensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684509' first='Jeremiah' last='Rodrate'], Valley</strong>: Even though Rodrate was just a freshman last fall, he was a regular starter on the O-Line for the Vikings. That experience should pay dividends for Rodrate in 2025. &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1676994' first='Joshua' last='Roybal'], Atrisco Heritage</strong>: Possessing impressive size at 6-foot-3, 290 pounds, Roybal will be one of the Jaguars' O-Line anchors in 2025. He's also incredibly strong as he recently deadlifted 450 pounds, an impressive number for a player who just completed his freshman year of high school.  </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1684500' first='Max' last='Wiseman'], Eldorado</strong>: Wiseman is expected to make the leap from freshman team to varsity in 2025 and become the Eagles' starting center. Eldorado's O-Line has the potential to be very good this season. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">450 new deadlift pr freshman atrisco heritage academy high school/460 next week <a href="https://t.co/QvVN3TRRZr">pic.twitter.com/QvVN3TRRZr</a></p>&mdash; Joshua (@joshuaroybal07) <a href="https://twitter.com/joshuaroybal07/status/1925711365441728816?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 23, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sand workouts<a href="https://twitter.com/PlayBookAthlete?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PlayBookAthlete</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NCSA_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NCSA_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/kamo_js?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kamo_js</a> <a href="https://t.co/JLlb35c2Dx">pic.twitter.com/JLlb35c2Dx</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1684760' first='Victor' last='Rey Mirabal'] (@victormirabal77) <a href="https://twitter.com/victormirabal77/status/1921396935342055869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 11, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">First weight lifting meeting|315| Deadlift|<a href="https://twitter.com/BulldogCityFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BulldogCityFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDezAnaya?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDezAnaya</a> <a href="https://t.co/zZOnotJHJ6">pic.twitter.com/zZOnotJHJ6</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1684452' first='Nijion' last='Bokor'] (@shadow_god09) <a href="https://twitter.com/shadow_god09/status/1887333377868767630?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 6, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html -->
