Players You Need to Know this Fall

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We are nearing the start of the 2025 high school football season in Virginia. Due to my current work, I will not be able to attend any games this fall. There are a number of great players across the state. Over my two years writing for Prep Redzone Virginia, I have come across a number of prospects. While I have not watched everyone, today I am providing you with players who have caught my attention and I will be keeping my eyes on this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402766"],"_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-689b917009011"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The recent <a href="https://x.com/IsiahDougan/status/1954222191198839070" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hampton commit</a> has been a player whose tape I have always liked since I first watched it. Isiah is our 10th ranked Wide Receiver in the Class of '26 who brings size, athleticism, and play making ability to Gainesville offense. He can be utilized in multiple route concepts on all levels of the field. He is a physically tough player who makes an impact on every play whether by running strong routes, catching the ball, or making blocks downfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18650437/Isiah-Dougan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/IsiahDougan" 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":["1311655"],"_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-689b91700907c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the best players that I had the opportunity to see live in my two years with Prep Redzone, Jaxon has all the tools needed to be a Division 1 offensive lineman. When you get to see him live, you see how well he bends and plays with explosiveness. He excels in Gap, Zone and Pass blocking. His Jump Set is as good as anyone. No offers for Jaxon yet, but once one team bites, I expect many will follow. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19610649/Jaxon-Manning" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Jaxon_Manning_" 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":["447440"],"_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-689b9170090cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ty'jae has a natural ability to run the ball. Balance, Burst, and Quickness are the high points of his game. He displays good vision and patience to hit the hole and will keep his legs churning through contact. He is one piece to Oscar Smith's very talented offense and is fun to watch play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/19480335/Tyjae-Curtis" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/Tyjae__8" 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":["1230657"],"_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-689b91700913a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tristan is a linebacker who can align in Stacked positioning and on the Edge. He has good size and length, good athleticism and defends both the run and pass. Has the strength to hold his ground in the box and shed blocks versus offensive linemen. Tristan is a name to watch this fall, and we expect him to have a great season for Riverbend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/17968568/Tristan-Greene" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/TristanTGreene" 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":["1282096"],"_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-689b917009189"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I have had the opportunity to watch Yuri play live and compete at a camp. He is dedicated to improving his game and cannot be ignored at his interior defensive line position. Credited with 51 tackles including 42 tackles for loss in 2024, we expect Yuri to put up similar numbers once again. He was a major stock riser in our most recent Class of 2027 rankings update. Yuri <a href="https://x.com/storyofyuro/status/1955757463971750052" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">recently announced</a> his transfer to Blue Ridge and reclassed to 2028 to play alongside star DL [player_tooltip player_id='1519647' first='Valdin' last='Sone']. Stay tuned for my thoughts on their tandem in my upcoming article.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/18199326/Yuri-Radcliffe" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> / <a href="https://x.com/storyofyuro" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">X</a></em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>**Cole cannot communicate with prospects directly due to his work in college football.
