PRZ PA Crystal Ball, Calling My Shot on Future 2028 Top Prospects

<p class="text-gray-700">6'3, 280 pounds. 4.0 GPA after his freshman year at Malvern Prep. Up ten pounds since last Fall, playing weight at 270. Ranked as the second-best linemen prospect on our current 2028 recruiting list. </p>   <p>Tie in his size and weight combination with his expected growth working beside Malvern Prep coaches who can boast a proven track record developing FBS offensive linemen, I find it relatively easy to be excited about [player_tooltip player_id='1085691' first='Adam' last='Briggs']' potential moving forward. Ranking and projections are subjective of course, things can change at the drop of a hat, yet I feel comfortable enough sending [player_tooltip player_id='1085691' first='Adam' last='Briggs']' name to many FBS/P4 coaches who are actively recruiting 2028s. First rep on tape has Briggs manning an IDL spot inside a 2-4-5 look. I'll be paying close attention to Briggs's height and weight, as it could decide what position he aligns at at the next level. More reps on tape show Briggs' ability to align at right guard, get out of his stance while maintaining balance, and prove he can locate his assignment when designated to pull. Briggs was the seal to several long touchdown runs. Has experience down-blocking at left tackle. Can trust Briggs to create distance between his chest and his opponent's when aligned at IDL. Said distance give Briggs room to shed, a powerful press witnessed on tape, he's likely a stud in the weight room. Taking into consideration the level of competition he's facing at practice, as well as on Friday/Saturday nights, I expect Briggs to grow into a future FBS prospect. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/adambriggs_15/status/1860749266785825248 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">First identified via Hudl last Fall. Looks to have put on a good 15 pounds since. Will always have a future at TE or EDGE at the next level. That being said, [player_tooltip player_id='1715434' first='Xavier' last='Harding']'s future stock likely coincides with how his build matures, as well as how much experience he gains in the next three years at Avonworth. </p>   <p>First rep on tape has Harding working as one of a three down-linemen front, working head-up on the weak-side guard. Good leg drive and flow understanding led him to a TFL in the backfield. Avonworth coaches felt comfortable enough to align Harding at TE, specifically in uneven fronts. Can impact block, has reps on tape proving he can do so, this is especially exciting considering he did so as a freshman. His toughness is proven, would go a long way seeing more of this as a sophomore. One look at his tape and I'd understand coaches not being "wowed" out of the gate. This is a prospect who I believe will blossom into an FBS-level TE/EDGE player, so long as he continues to fine-tune his craft. Harding might lack wow/splash plays, yet I implore coaches to understand that his freshman tape is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm personally expecting big things this coming Fall. I'll be paying close attention to whether or not Harding can capitalize on the opportunity in front of him. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/XavierAHarding/status/1934402485785129447 </div></figure>     <p class="text-gray-700">6'4, 260 pounds. 3.64 GPA. Currently ranked as an OL, yet his position is still up in the air. Has </p>   <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1369039' first='Max' last='Hamilton'] possesses a rare blend of size and mass that, when paired with the developmental environment at Pine-Richland, positions him for remarkable growth. The program's history of producing FBS-level offensive linemen speaks for itself, and Briggs appears poised to follow that path. Although evaluations and rankings can be fluid, his upside is clear enough that I have no hesitation in placing his name before a number of FBS and Power Four recruiters seeking to identify top talent in the 2028 cycle. Hamilton has some stellar weight-lifting clips up on socials, yet no real tape to evaluate. I hardly ever rank an underclassman without some semblance of tape to be had, yet I feel comfortable ranking him as high as I have despite the lack of a real evaluation. Speaking to a few in the know, I trust that Hamilton will make a name for himself in due time. We'll come back to this paragraph next year to reflect. </p>     <p class="text-gray-700">6'3, 200 pounds. 4.0 GPA. Heading into his second year at Roman Catholic, I'm personally expecting two things as the Fall approaches: a ton of future production from his backer spot and an uptick in recruiting. Recruiting can hit for prospects at peculiar times, yet I have a feeling [player_tooltip player_id='1275883' first='Asaad' last='Beyah'] will make it easy for next-level recruiters to feel comfortable courting him. </p>   <p>Carving out a serious role in a loaded defense as a sophomore would do wonders for his visibility/exposure. Right now, Beyah is a guess/projection from myself, one I'm willing to put out for any/all coaches to see/read. Yet Beyah making his case undeniable involves him putting out elite tape. Beyah's current Hudl is lacking substance, yet I expect that to change. Excited to see how he's utilized moving forward. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AsaadBeyah/status/1907142662928424989 </div></figure>     <p>6'2, 330 pounds. Surprised coaches aren't offering Hunter yet. No matter, his time will come. What's important is Hunter's continued development from a physique perspective. Ranked as a top-five OL/DL recruit currently. </p>   <p class="text-gray-700">With a physical profile that already commands attention and the advantage of refining his skills under Bonner's esteemed coaching staff—known for consistently shaping athletes into FBS-ready Off/Def linemen—[player_tooltip player_id='1539147' first='Kevin' last='Hunter'] is a prospect whose ceiling appears exceptionally high. Even acknowledging the unpredictable nature of rankings and projections, his potential is evident enough that I am confident in bringing him to the attention of numerous FBS and Power Four programs targeting the 2028 recruiting class. Hunter's full freshman season cut-up was released back in March, it's possible coaches recruiting in Dec/Feb haven't gotten back to checking out his recent tape release. Is trusted to pull at his size, trusted by coaches who deploy one of the best and most consistent rushing attacks since I've begun covering the PCL. A mammoth of a young man, one who is going to further refine his technique. There isn't a lineman in Pennsylvania who doesn't have areas to improve, Hunter certainly does. That being said, I have no problem calling my shot on this IOL as he prepares for his sophomore season at Bonner.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KevinHunter99k/status/1949981944801792497 </div></figure>
