Rounding Out the The Top 100 Class ’27 Rankings Evaluations

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>In today's article I am providing the final scouting reports to finish out the Top 100 players in our <strong><a href="https://prepredzone.com/virginia/rankings/2027-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Class of 2027 rankings</a></strong>. I have been very impressed with the players I have seen in this class so far, and I believe those I have covered can have bright futures in whatever decision they make for their collegiate careers as they continue their development. Today's article covers six defensive players, including two ATHs and one who plays both ways on the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311664"],"_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-686ea6e1ac97f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tayron is a very good athlete with fluid movement. Very good in man coverage, able to mirror and run with receivers matching their routes. Good vision in Zone coverage to be in position to make a play on the ball. Very good open-field tackler who is willing to play physically. He has the athleticism and playmaking ability to be a P4 Cornerback. Currently holds offers from Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and Colorado State, and more will come for him. He is in line for a ranking boost in our future updates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16380705/Tayron-Whitehead" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/tayronwhitehead" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311632"],"_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-686ea6e1aca17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaron is a versatile player on New Kent's defense. You will see him align in a DE/EDGE position with his hands in the dirt and on two feet. He will also align in a stacked LB position as well. He has a good frame and plays with good strength. Good versus the run. He can hold his positioning on the field to keep a strong edge contained. He comes downhill quickly and with power from the stacked LB positions. He shows some quickness in his pass rush to make a move with good closing speed on the QB, and we should continue to see that grow as a feature of his game. I look forward to seeing Jaron's development over the next couple of seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19713912/jaron-collins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Jaroncolli70453" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311633"],"_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-686ea6e1aca9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Patton is a physical lineman who can play on the offensive and defensive line. I project him as a Guard if he is to play offensive line at the next level. He is a mauler in the run game with a relentless block sustain and the strength to enforce his will. He is very good at refitting himself in his blocks and turning defenders out of the gap. Shows good foot quickness in pass protection allowing him to mirror. Shows the athleticism to get into space and provide blocks downfield as a puller. He has room to develop his initial block fits and set points. Overall a good foundation for his offensive line play, and I am intrigued to see his development. At Defensive Tackle, you see the same relentless play on the field. He does a good job at using his hands to engage while keeping his eyes in the backfield to read the play, with the strength to hold his ground and shed the block. Patton is someone who very well could find interest on both sides of the ball in his recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16923220/Patton-Cross" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Patton_Cross" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311642"],"_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-686ea6e1acb20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Charles does not have much film available from his sophomore season, but we kept him in our rankings. His freshman film shows him as a good vertical threat WR with solid COD and speed in his routes leading him to All-District and All-Region honors. His one sophomore game clip shows him at DB making a good read in Zone coverage and making an interception. He is also a good baseball player for Brentsville and may find his future on the diamond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19674338/Charles-Mccullough" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/charles1233214" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Charles11Mc" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311663"],"_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-686ea6e1acbb6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jysir is a Defensive Line prospect with a good frame. Shows good initial upfield burst in his play, with good use of hands and strength to engage offensive linemen and read the backfield. He displays a quick lateral movement that allows him to shed blocks. I believe he has the ability to play in a single-gap and a two-gap defensive scheme. Shows good pursuit on the play in the backfield and down the line of scrimmage. I like the foundation of his game and am excited to see how he plays during the next two seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19823422/Jysir-Williamson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/jysir_truck" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1311683"],"_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-686ea6e1acc3e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ivan is a physical Safety for Varina who produced 40 TKLs, 2 TFLs, and 9 PBUs during his sophomore campaign. He can align in a deep set or in the box. His physicality is noticeable in his willingness to take on blockers and win by squeezing the gap for the ball carrier. He is a good tackler and can be depended on in the open field. A good athlete in coverage, working best in Zone coverage where he can read the QB and make a break on the ball with good closing ability and ball skills. He will play physical coverage in Man versus receivers looking to disrupt the receiver's route stem.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19053173/Ivan-Thompson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/lilthompson_?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>**Cole cannot communicate with prospects directly due to his work in college football.
