2026 MD Rankings Update: Must See New Additions – Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The updated 2026 MD/DC/DE Rankings just came out the other week showcasing over 550+ players from the area. I breakdown some prospects making their first appearance on the rankings in Part 2 of the New Additions series.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1091981"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1702217,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-686338c147bcb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jabari makes his debut as a top 200 overall player and a top 20 LB in the 2026 class. A player I can not wait to see more of this upcoming fall, as he is part of a loaded Dunbar defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>An athletic ILB, Jabari can turn and run, flip his hips and get going up to speed quickly. He shows well in short zone coverage and comes away with INTs &amp; PBUs often. Comes down hill and finds his way through the trash to make the tackle. Jabari is also a sure tackler and will strike you. A bit sawed off at 6'0" but is well slapped together and plays with strength from head to toe.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Currently holding 3 total offers from Georgetown, Merrimack, and Rhode Island - Jabari had a strong spring season. He is a high academic prospect carrying a 3.8 GPA and a NHS member. I expect many more colleges to come calling for Jabari this fall with a strong senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Regular season film is out check it won't be disappointed <a href="https://t.co/QG5Bk8gG3g">https://t.co/QG5Bk8gG3g</a> <a href="https://t.co/gMkXitelmg">pic.twitter.com/gMkXitelmg</a></p>&mdash; Jabari ”Bari” Torbit Jr (@JabariTorbit) <a href="https://twitter.com/JabariTorbit/status/1856508201308450985?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["871399"],"_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-686338c147cdd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thomas is part of a strong deep defensive back field at DeMatha and he will be a key piece to their defense this fall. He currently holds one offer from Delaware State, but I like his potential for this season. Berry could be one to garner plenty more offers and be a high riser come next rankings if he has the senior year I think he can.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Playing mainly SS and a nickel DB for DeMatha, Thomas offers positional versatility. He has good size and solid overall frame, looking the part with a 80" wingspan. A strong tackler, he can make a spot in open field, run the alley, and play in the box. Berry is a solid overall athlete with good physical traits, so I can see him making more plays in coverage this year as he usage goes up. He will be a name to watch this fall and could be a big sleeper prospect in term of recruiting. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Junior season tape!<a href="https://twitter.com/DenocD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DenocD</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DMCoachbrown6?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DMCoachbrown6</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMcGregor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMcGregor</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MarylandHigh?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MarylandHigh</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachCoreydmv?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachCoreydmv</a> <a href="https://t.co/nUNrSdzcUj">https://t.co/nUNrSdzcUj</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='871399' first='Thomas' last='Berry'] II (@thomasberry_2) <a href="https://twitter.com/thomasberry_2/status/1861253780034961453?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 26, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["711490"],"_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-686338c147d54"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ty is a player I got to see a ton this spring and his play stood out constantly. A verified 6'2" 190lbs+ QB, has a good/strong size and frame to stand tall in the pocket. He showed off strong arm mechanics and a quick release during the National Preps Spring Showcase. He's got the arm strength to bomb it deep 50+ yards. Can also change speed effectively - putting zip on it to fit the ball into tight windows or putting nice touch on passes to drop into the receivers hands in stride. Ty plays with impressive anticipation &amp; timing, showing strong understanding of the offense. That checks as he is a 4.0 high academic student.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Currently, Ty only holds one offer from WV State, and he is a no brainer D2 $ kid and should be getting looks from FCS and high academic schools. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I had a great time at the <a href="https://twitter.com/EliteFBClinics?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EliteFBClinics</a> camp this weekend.

Coming in as a top 20 LB and is best as an off ball OLB , and even some as a hybrid OLB/SS who can play in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He was a top LB performer at the National Preps Showcase in May, measuring 6'2" 195lbs with a 9'7" SBJ. Jack plays fast and fluid, who can cover in the slot and make plays in coverage. He's got nice burst and twitch coming off the edge and is an overall physical &amp; athletic player. Jack currently only holds offers from Hampden Sydney &amp; Catholic Univ. As a high academic prospect, carrying a 4.0+ GPA, Jack should be getting plenty of Patriot/IVY looks this fall, along with D2/D3 offers. A player who will make an impact wherever he goes, Jack has tons of potential going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Coaches!
