Sleeper 2026 Prospects To Know This Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These sleeper 2026 prospects are bound for giant senior season...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696421"],"_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-685af43023f0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper defensive lineman from Douglasville, Bussey brings really good size, long arms, and the potential to be a really strong run defender next fall as a senior. He showed flashes last season, but if he continues to work on his development and can turn into a dependable pass-rusher as well, Bussey could be tough to stop in 2025. He has the size and talent to be a game-wrecker as a senior this fall and has a real opportunity to play at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401510"],"_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-685af43023f67"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An impressive defender down in Savannah who could light up the stat sheet in 2025, Redmond was a consistent, versatile defender for a talented Savannah Christian team last season. At 6-foot-0 220-pounds, he can play linebacker if needed but played along the defensive line a good bit last season. He's quick, strong, and is coming off a strong junior season where he made 53 tackles, six TFLs and five sacks. Look for him to have a giant final season for Bethesda Academy this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1581897"],"_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-685af43023faf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A versatile defensive back with natural instincts in coverage who can make a big tackle on the ball-carrier, Davis is one of the top returning safety prospects in the Gainesville area for the 2026 class and is coming off a giant junior season where he made 103 tackles, two INTs, two forced fumbles and one blocked punt. He's a weapon not only on defense but on special teams with the athletic traits to help on offense, too. Look for him to have a big senior season before finding a place to play at the D1-level in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1696585"],"_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-685af43023ff0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper defensive lineman on the rise in metro-Atlanta, Jackson is a big lineman with size who can play the traditional defensive end spot or slide inside and play over the guard or center. He's physically gifted at 6-foot-6 260-pounds with strong hands and impressive mobility to someone his size. He's a sure-tackling defender who can swallow up the running back at the line of scrimmage. If he's healthy and continues to develop over the next two months, Jackson could be in store for a giant senior season this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["602946"],"_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-685af4302402f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A big, mean, versatile lineman out of South Georgia in Waycross, Matthews is a versatile lineman at 6-foot-3 290-pounds who can play all over the offensive line. Not only is he a standout center, but he can play both right and left tackle as well. He shows a strong initial punch, plays with good footwork, and can bulldoze defenders in the run game. He's a smart, efficient lineman good enough to play at the D1 level down the road.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
