He was one of the more productive freshman backs across the state last year as he ran for 949 yards and 15 touchdowns. He shows Power Four talent and should see his recruitment pick up at some point sooner than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1698785"],"_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-6862c7d448986"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An electric back with impressive change of direction and natural speed, Schettini only played in five games last year but showed big-play ability when given then ball, rushing for 414 yards and four touchdowns, hitting the 100-yard mark twice. The big-play freshman ran for 164 yards and two touchdowns against Newnan and 170 yards and one touchdown in his final game against Banneker. He's one of the top young backs in the area, and if he can stay healthy, should be in store for a massive sophomore season this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1589360"],"_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-6862c7d4489d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top two-way prospects across Georgia in the 2028 class, Wilson made a big impact at both running back and at the safety position for the Spartans in 2025. While he'll likely play on defense at the next level, Wilson was still one of the more effective runners among freshmen last season. The 5-foot-10 170-pounder ran for 435 yards on just 39 carries for an average of 11.2 yards per carry. He also scored five touchdowns on the ground and ran for at least 100 yards in two games. Look for him to earn even more carries next season as a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["721518"],"_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-6862c7d448a17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the fastest backs in Georgia for the 2028 class, Dykes is a natural runner with impressive vision, burst, and the ability to out-run defenders down the field. He may not play against the toughest competition, but his talent is easy to see. He's a shifty back with quick feet and an elusive running style that should allow him to have an outstanding sophomore season in 2025. As a freshman last season, Dykes ran for 362 yards and four touchdowns, averaging more than eight yards per carry along the way. His best football is years ahead of him and he'll be added to the next rankings update later this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1651419"],"_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-6867f0e935da1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A strong, tackle-breaking back who also shines at linebacker, Wright is one of the top-two way prospects in North Georgia for the 2028 class. He's built well physically and has no problem bringing a physical style of play. He held his own on both sides of the ball as a freshman and was a strong option in the run game as he ran for 352 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging just under seven yards per carry. He's currently ranked as the No. 89 overall prospect in the state for his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
