His performance during the camp circuit turned heads, thanks to his balanced footwork, strong hands, and ability to control defenders at the point of attack. In pass protection, Minton anchors well and absorbs pressure, making him a tough matchup for any rusher. In the run game, he shows good pad level and drive, clearing running lanes for backs with consistency. Minton's technical footwork and physical upside give him the tools to be a dominant presence up front. As he earns more reps this fall, expect his stock to rise rapidly.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1708906"],"_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-68780e58b44d2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">White brings a technician's mindset to the cornerback position. With elite footwork and lightning quick change of direction, he thrives in both press and off man coverage. This offseason, White stood out at multiple team camps where he showcased his ability to mirror receivers and break on the ball. He has a natural feel for timing and positioning, often disrupting passes at the catch point. What sets White apart is the chip on his shoulder, he plays with intensity and purpose. As he heads into this season, he's poised to solidify himself as one of the top emerging lockdown corners in the class</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1664924"],"_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-68780e58b452c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Franklin is one of the more intriguing new faces in the 2027 class thanks to his versatility and natural playmaking ability. Last season, he contributed in multiple roles, but it was at wide receiver where he truly flashed. With a wide catch radius and strong hands, Franklin made several highlight reel grabs in traffic. Now, fully embracing the WR role, he looks to put it all together in 2025. He's quick off the line, runs crisp routes, and has the athleticism to win contested catches. If he continues to progress technically, Franklin could become a key target and a breakout star this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685652"],"_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-68780e58b45a1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baray-Gress is a name on the rise as he prepares to take on a larger role along the defensive line. He's a disruptive presence who excels at shedding blocks and making plays in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. Baray-Gress has quick hands and plays with intensity, often knifing through gaps to throw off the offense's rhythm. He has a high motor and his ability to pursue ball carriers in space makes him a versatile defensive asset. If he continues to build on his development and gets consistent snaps, expect him to become a force this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1673616"],"_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-68780e58b4612"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Neumann has all the physical tools to become a top tier edge rusher in the 2027 class. He boasts an explosive first step, natural bend and the speed to win around the corner. Neumann impressed during offseason evaluations with his ability to pressure quarterbacks and disrupt the backfield. While still refining his moves to get free and consistency, the upside is clearly there. His frame and athleticism allow him to play fast and physical, and as he becomes more confident in his role, the production should follow. With a breakout year on the horizon, Neumann is one to watch closely this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
