<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The class of 2026 has five prospects who I'd consider freaks.

Has the size of a future NFL player and the skill to match. Has done nothing but fill out his frame and develop in all areas since arriving at Portage Northern. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A rare prospect who looks to be meeting his potential. Most linemen of Gregory's size fail to fill out their frame, either being way too skinny or way too big, which also severely impacts athletic ability. No guesswork when it comes to developing Gregory's body or athletic ability. I feel that Notre Dame will do an excellent job developing [player_tooltip player_id='568194' first='Gregory' last='Patrick']. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212357"],"_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-68922a8d7b16a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eziuka is one of the most well-built offensive linemen I've seen come out of Michigan. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've seen a lot of 6'3" offensive linemen. Eziuka looks nothing like most 6'3" offensive linemen. He's big, incredibly strong, wide, athletic, and a brick wall. Additionally, he's incredibly polished and would be #1 in this class if it weren't for the incredible talents in front of him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Has an excellent chance to be an awesome starter at Penn State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1326375"],"_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-68922a8d7b1b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Keyes is arguably the biggest freak on this list. A couple years ago, he broke into the scene, and earned several offers from Power 4 programs despite minimal varsity production. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>To put it simply, Keyes earned those offers largely due to being a freak athlete with excellent size. Keyes rivals Brady Prieskorn in being the best TE I've seen come out of Michigan. I'd argue that Keyes' upside is even higher than Brady's. If Keyes comes into this season bigger and more polished, he could be an incredible weapon for Saline. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1337156"],"_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-68922a8d7b1f6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">May's the real deal. Also the only D2-committed player on this list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The listed height and weight are accurate, and he's one of the most well-built players in the state. Just based on his size profile, May is LB1. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Athletically, May stands out. Excellent all-around metrics, good testing, and looks phenomenal in drills. He's going to be an incredible player at Saginaw Valley State if development goes well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["212358"],"_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-68922a8d7b236"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I know, I know. I just wrote about Corey in my Mr. Football article. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I do my best not to talk about the same player more than once in a week, let alone in 24 hours. Though it was impossible not to have Sadler on this list. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Not saying anything new. Even against the best teams under the brightest lights, Corey stands out as the best player on the field. Through his three years of Varsity experience, he's developed excellent IQ on both sides of the ball. Offensively, he knows where the holes are, knows the angles, and plays with supreme confidence. Same with defense. Corey is a ball hawk and is not afraid to lay the wood. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Of course, Corey couldn't be on the freaks list without being a supreme athlete. He's an insane outlier when it comes to athletic ability. Can't wait to see where Corey commits! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The class of 2026 has five prospects who I'd consider freaks. These five prospects are off the charts when it comes to athletic ability, physical ability, and in most cases, size.
