The elite do-it-all prospect did a little bit of everything in McEachern's 50-17 season-opening win over Walton. The speedy playmaker totaled 353 yards and scored three touchdowns, proving why he has five-star potential in the 2028 class. He scored on a 98-yard kick return touchdown, a 69-yard fake punt, and on a double-reverse touchdown catch. He's a playmaking machine with big-time speed, athleticism, and explosiveness with the ability to score in multiple different ways. Look for him to continue dominating throughout his sophomore season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1629306"],"_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-68a1ee57d6855"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fantastic two-way player from Middle Georgia who dominated on both sides of the ball, Jordan is a senior who caught the game-winning touchdown during Houston County's big 31-24 win over Brookwood. He's a playmaking back who can run and catch out of the backfield, but he's also a natural defender with toughness, grit, and a nose for the football. The Samford commit was all over the field in week one, securing 19 total tackles with two TFLs and 1.5 sacks. He was one of the biggest performers not only during Corky Kell, but throughout the state during the first week of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1685081"],"_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-68a1f4f3b6845"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A breakout sophomore wide receiver in North Georgia, Searels brings big-time size and athleticism at 6-foot-4 175-pounds. He uses his size to his advantage, can high-point the football, and can be tough to bring down after the catch. He's a long-strider who can pick up yards in a hurry and out-run defenders down the field. He's young, but he's physically gifted and showed easy big-play ability in game one. Dalton lost a tough game to North Murray, but Searels brought his "A" game, catching five passes for 229 yards and three touchdowns. He'll be an easy addition to the next Prep Redzone rankings and is 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":["1625744"],"_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-68a1f4f3b68a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A South Georgia back who ran wild during first game as a senior, DeBruce is one of the top 2026 backs in the area and is on his way to having a dominant 2025 season. Ranked as the No. 50 ATH in the state, DeBruce is a speedy, electric back who can out-run defenders down the field. He's a smooth runner, he's elusive, and was tough to stop all game long in week one. Leading Coffee to a big 28-14 win over Bainbridge, DeBruce ran for an impressive 162 yards and four touchdowns. He's one of the top sleeper backs in the state who should see a rankings boost in the next update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["908944"],"_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-68a1f4f3b68ec"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the top linebackers in the metro-Atlanta area, Davies is a speedy, instinctive linebacker and one of the hardest hitting defenders across the state in the 2026 class. He has a nose for the football and brings a tough, physical presence. He's fundamentally sounds, wraps up properly, and was a tackling machine during Northgate's 27-21 win over Stars Mill. The 6-foot-1 210-pounder was all over the field and ended the night with 20 tackles and two quarterback hits. He continues to play at a high level and has a chance to light up the stat sheet all season long in 2025. He's currently ranked as the No. 22 LB prospect in Georgia for his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
