6 New Additions To Our 2026 Update Part 2

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yesterday I took a look at 6 players who were added to our 2026 rankings in our recent update. Today I'll evaluate 6 more players who when after evaluating we felt deserved to be added to the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1704518"],"_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-688a87ac3f648"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The big tight end for the Titans is a bulldog on the football field. At 6'4 230 pounds Hicks physically overwhelms smaller defenders. He lines up both inline and split out. He has a good burst, good long speed, and is able to create separation. When he has the ball in his hands, he's a beast to try and bring down. An area growth would be in his route running.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1595532"],"_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-688a87ac3f6d5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keenan is a mobile quarterback who can win from the pocket or on the run. When in the pocket Keenan has a great feel for pressure and is great at sidestepping and reverse rollouts to avoid the rush. He's most comfortable with the short and intermediate passing game. He throws with good anticipation and touch. He has the athleticism to get out and run when needed.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1630756"],"_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-688a87ac3f743"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Badin has won the Greater Catholic Leage Co-Ed league title the last 5 years amassing a record of 57-7 over that time. Pendergest plays left tackle for the Rams. At 6'6 270 pounds he has the ideal size and length for a college offensive tackle. Pete shows good feet and athleticism in both the run game and pass pro. He's able to get out and run and block in space on screens. He gets to the second level really well to block in the run game. In his pass set he has the quickness to get good depth but not overset if the defender takes the inside. Pete has FBS offers from Akron, Bowling Green, and Air Force.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1614813"],"_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-688a87ac3f7b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Watching Holloway's film, I really liked what I saw. Whether it's timing up blitzes or shooting the gap, instinctually JJ has a great feel for the game. He can run the alleys and make plays in the run game. He's not afraid to lower his shoulder and lower the boom on the ball carrier. He also does a great job of attacking the ball and creating turnovers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1719902"],"_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-688a87ac3f81d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wright plays the edge position for Buckeye Local. As a pass rusher he has a little of twitch to his game. When he wants to just get off and go, he can. He has a nice little dip move that can use to get inside and shoot the gap. He's good in pursuit and plays to the whistle. Where he excels is in space. If he can continue to get stronger it will add another element to his game when the speed rush is taken away. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709945"],"_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-688a87ac3f886"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Though only playing 4 games in his junior season due to transfer rules, I thought Davis-Gale flashed a little bit. He knows how to use his length and hands to his advantage. His size plays to the strongside of the defense. I like the physical traits here; I'd just like to see him play a little more downhill.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
