With 14 tackles for loss and 7 sacks, he established himself as a disruptive force in the trenches. That dominance earned him major attention, and he capitalized during the summer camp circuit by earning multiple Power 4 offers. His motor, strength, and explosiveness off the line have vaulted him up the rankings to No. 3. Mailo has proven he can take over a game and set the tone for his defense. If he continues his upward trajectory, don't be surprised if more national programs come calling this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1626423"],"_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-68780e7dce23f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Few players helped themselves more this offseason than [player_tooltip player_id='1626423' first='Jackson' last='Coleman']. The 2027 wideout was a standout at team camps, earning FBS offers from Vanderbilt, Syracuse, Colorado State, and more. His size, athleticism, and ability to create mismatches on the outside make him a true weapon. Coleman has all the tools to become a go to target in his offense and will be counted on as a leader in the passing game this year. As he steps into a larger role, expect his stock to keep rising, especially if he helps power his team to a deep playoff run.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1580421"],"_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-68780e7dce29b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mbamarah entered the offseason with momentum and only continued to build on it. After flashing elite coverage skills during the season, he took the next step in his development over the summer, dominating at camps and pulling in offers from Kansas State and North Dakota State. He's physical and shows excellent instincts in coverage. He is a corner that can play man or zone and lock down an entire side of the field. With his blend of technique and athleticism, he's pushing into the top tier conversation for corners not just in his class but in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["691219"],"_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-68780e7dce2f4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speed, separation, and polish, that's what Miller put on display this offseason. The 2027 receiver made waves with his crisp route running and acceleration, landing an offer from Northern Colorado after a strong camp showing. He's quick out of his breaks and has a knack for finding space, making him a reliable target for any quarterback. With more touches likely coming his way this fall, Miller is poised to boost his production and his profile. Don't be surprised if more offers come in once the pads go on and he starts stacking highlights.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556174"],"_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-68780e7dce354"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stehwein turned heads during team camps and showed he's more than ready to take on a bigger role this fall. His reliable hands make him an up and coming target in the passing game, and he's been steadily gaining traction with D2/D3 college scouts. Stehwein has the tools to be a receiver that can keep the chains moving and a red zone threat. As he becomes a focal point in the offense, his opportunities will only grow. With his team projected to make a deep playoff run, look for Stehwein to rise to the occasion and further solidify his place among the 2027 risers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
