He brings an outstanding frame for his age at 6-foot-3 225-pounds and is coming off a tremendous first season for Blessed Trinity where he made 53 tackles, 13 TFLs and five sacks while forcing two fumbles. He's an easy Power Four talent and is currently ranked by Prep Redzone as the No. 1 DL and the No. 6 overall prospect in the state for the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["266456"],"_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-68825e039c45c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young prospects in West Georgia and one of the very best defenders in the state for the 2028 class, Brown is a versatile defensive lineman with impressive size and power at 6-foot-3 270-pounds. He shows above-average quickness with a great first step that allows him to take on opposing linemen and make his way into the backfield. He made a giant impact as a freshman and will only get better and better over time. His stock is rising and he already holds a handful of Power Four offers. He's ranked as the No. 2 DL and the No. 7 DL prospect in the country. Look for him to have a giant sophomore season in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1148218"],"_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-68825e039c4b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic defender and one of the more promising pass-rushers in Gwinnett County in the 2028 class, Tillman is a terrific natural athlete who also dominated on the basketball court for the mighty Grayson Rams. He's big and physical at 6-foot-5 220-pounds with the potential to have a breakout sophomore season on the gridiron. He'll be playing for one of the best programs in the state and has already seen his recruitment take off. He holds major Power Four offers from Texas, Texas A&amp;M, Tennessee, Georgia Tech, Auburn, and many more. His best football is way ahead of him and he saew a boost in the latest Prep Redzone rankings this summer. He's now ranked as the No. 5 DL and the No. 16 overall prospect in the state for the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["656532"],"_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-68825e039c519"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fast-rising interior defensive lineman in Cobb County, Williams is a stout, powerful 6-foot-2 275-pound defender who has the potential to have a really strong sophomore season this fall. He saw the field some last year as a freshman and held his own in the trenches. The North Cobb Warriors are loaded with young talent and Williams is one of their top prospects in the 2028 class. He can fight off blocks and takes up a lot of space in the middle of the line of scrimmage. He flashes Power Four potential and could see some big offers come his way down the road. He's ranked as the No. 6 DL prospect and the No. 20 overall prospect in the state for the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621064"],"_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-68825e039c56f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top young defensive linemen in South Georgia, Chee is a lean, athletic defender at 6-foot-3 265-pounds with an impressive combination of speed and power. He brings a lengthy frame that allows him to fight off blocks and has the potential to be a possible game-changer on the defensive line for Thomas County Central this upcoming season as a sophomore. He already holds major offers from Florida State, Georgia Tech, Duke, Virginia Tech, among others. Look for Chee to have a really impactful year two for the Yellow Jackets this fall. He's now ranked as the No. 12 DL and the No. 60 overall prospect in the state in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
