Ranked Prospect Evaluations: Episode 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Welcome to a new series on Prep Redzone North Carolina, one I'm quite excited to get started. This idea started after running several&nbsp;<a href="https://prepredzone.com/2025/05/community-film-room-episode-5-2/">community film room</a>&nbsp;pieces. Those are typically reserved for initial evaluations of players outside of our rankings, but there are plenty of great players already ranked who haven't had a recent evaluation. What about them?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Welcome to the third installment of ranked prospect evaluations! Here, I'm taking players who already sit in the rankings, but haven't had a recent evaluation. Using our evaluation block tool, I'm giving these five players new evaluations that will live on their profile pages, accessible by our college and high school subscribers alike. Here, I'm focused on guys in the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1646740"],"_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-6862f63170223"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gorga is one of two talented young Enloe quarterbacks, and the talented rising junior missed most of his sophomore season with an injury. Playing time might be a question, but talent is not. He has prototypical size and huge arm, plus good decision-making and leadership skills. I really want to see him throw in person as I like the way the ball comes out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1679986"],"_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-6862f631702a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Coulibaly barely missed the Wake County edge rusher rankings I released earlier on Tuesday, and his size is really the only knock on his profile. He had elite production with 65 tackles and 11 sacks. He excels at dipping his shoulder to get around offensive linemen and he's generally a hard guy to square up and block one on one.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1674602"],"_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-6862f6317030a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gaddis has great size for an edge rusher and could grow into an interior defensive lineman in time. He has great strength, especially in his lower body, which translates to an explosive first step and the ability to hold up in the running game. I'm looking forward to see more of him in the future because the flashes are great.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1671975"],"_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-6862f63170357"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richards is a massive two-way player with upside. Weirdly, I like him most at safety, even though he's taller than most of the players you see at that position. He has smooth hips and the ability to operate in tight spaces, which allows him to slide into the slot against four and five-wide sets. Those traits mean he reaps the benefits of his size without many of the shortcomings that can come with that sort of length at defensive back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1190935"],"_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-6862f631703b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A high-upside rising junior, Bullock transferred to Southeast Raleigh this offseason where it looks like he'll play </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Want to be featured in either our Community Film Room or Ranked Prospect Evaluation pieces?
