New Additions to the 2027 Top 50

The 2027 rankings have grown to 100 total prospects in the state of West Virginia, with many new athletes seeing themselves place among them. After a summer of getting out to camps, watching film, and new college offers, here are the new players who made the 2027 Top 50.    We've been excited to get some film of 2027 Independence DL [player_tooltip player_id='862720' first='Isaiah' last='Conley'], and he delivered on that since our last rankings update. Conley quickly debuted inside the 2027 Top 15 as our #1 ranked defensive lineman in the class once we got some tape to back up the production and good things we've heard about him. Conley has a very good frame at 6'3 and could eventually end up at EDGE in our rankings depending on how his body and role develop over the next two seasons. He has the size and athleticism to earn D1 looks by his senior year and is a name that colleges will want to follow closely moving forward.     We're taking a flyer on 2027 University OL [player_tooltip player_id='1674336' first='Luke' last='Braham'] to develop into a top offensive line prospect in this class, with very little information to go off of. Braham, unfortunately, missed last season with an injury and is very under the radar heading into his junior year for the Hawks, but is a name you'll want to follow this season. Older brother Noah plays for WVU, where their father Rich Braham was a Hall of Famer, so Luke has the bloodlines to develop into a high-level player in his own right. At 6'6 240, he has the frame to significantly develop over time into a future D1 OL prospect and is likely a future stock riser in the rankings once game film is available.     2027 Fairmont Senior defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1666004' first='King' last='Abercrombie'] was someone who impressed us in person at our Combine Series Camp in May, and now makes his debut in the rankings as a Top 50 player and #5 DL prospect in the class. He's physically impressive with a well-developed build for a lineman and should have a breakout year for the Polar Bears as a junior this fall. There's no game film to evaluate from Abercrombie yet, but he's someone that we can vouch for from seeing him compete in person. Look for him to have a big junior season, potentially on both sides of the line.     We're expecting big things from 2027 Bluefield LB [player_tooltip player_id='1677416' first='Chadney' last='Stanback'] over the next two seasons after flashing as a sophomore for the Beavers. He stands out physically at 6'1 210, and looks the part on film in that aspect. Stanback has a high ceiling as a LB prospect and has the ability and upside to climb much higher in the rankings once we see his junior and senior film. You can see the vision of what he can develop into when watching his sophomore game cut-ups, and he is someone who colleges are going to want to know soon.     Another 2027 prospect capable of moving up the rankings is University DB [player_tooltip player_id='1577829' first='Jaedyn' last='Katchur']. He had a strong sophomore campaign for the Hawks last season and should build on that further for his junior year. Katchur was a key member of University's track state championship team and is developing well physically heading into an important junior year. He has the speed to play well in coverage on the back end from his safety spot, but also does a great job of flying to the ball and getting downhill in support as well. Katchur is versatile in where he can line up and how he's utilized, which bodes well for his future as a prospect.
