He had a ridiculous performance in his team's win over Spotsylvania. Young is an elite defensive back who had 2 interceptions last Friday including the game clincher. He is really performing at a high level, not that we are surprised. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/lilav4x/status/1969473188921745849","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/lilav4x/status/1969473188921745849 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1905640"],"_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-68d2b829c80f1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lost in the shuffle of North Stafford's seemingly endless amount of playmakers, sophomore defensive back [player_tooltip player_id='1905640' first='Antonio' last='Hubbard'] is not to be ignored. He was a monster Friday night, I like how the Wolverines use him on defense. Whether he is rushing the passer or covering a wideout this dude seems to make plays. He is also the defender who recovered the Woodbridge fumble on the Vikings first play of overtime to seal the win. Keep an eye on Hubbard he surely be added to our 2028 rankings coming out in December.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AntonioEHubbard/status/1967824296253731100","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/AntonioEHubbard/status/1967824296253731100 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1905639"],"_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-68d2ba83832a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Speaking off new 2028 rankable prospects, Episcopal High School appears to have a dude in [player_tooltip player_id='1905639' first='Darren' last='Armstrong']. He dominated the Flint Hill Game this past Saturday with 3.5 sacks and countless other big plays. Very powerful off the line he can line up anywhere on your defensive line and reek havoc. Already 265 lbs. there is no telling what this young man ceiling is, he looks unblock able and his only a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dline_darren/status/1970473898325016922","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/dline_darren/status/1970473898325016922 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298249"],"_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-68d2ba8383314"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1298249' first='Bishop' last='Prescott'] has been an elite safety for a couple season now for Woodbridge and he had game altering interception last week. He displays great range and footwork, despite the Vikings setback he remains a top notch defender. Prescott picked off [player_tooltip player_id='1310494' first='Chase' last='Sullivan'] late in the game last week to help set up the game tying touchdown.

Defensive end [player_tooltip player_id='1718760' first='Ernest' last='Akese'] is 6'4 and 240 lbs, one of the more athletic edge rushers I have seen. A basketball star, Akese appears to have just joined Forest Park football squad last year. There is a lot to like about his tape, he is fast and fearsome off the edge of their defense. Akese could be Division 2 coaches dream, do not sleep on this senior anymore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_ErnestAkese/status/1970519661721641284","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_ErnestAkese/status/1970519661721641284 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
