Five 2028 CBs To Keep An Eye On

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're nearly done with my 2028 player series, but we must check out the cornerbacks first. Several talented sophomore corners are already making impacts at their respective schools.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I've compiled a list of five guys who should be on everyone's radar as they develop into more complete and better players.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1029798' first='Xavier' last='Bowman'] from Knoxville Catholic headlines the list as he's been highly productive for the Fighting Irish this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The four others are also good players with Division I written all over them. Let's get into it.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1029798"],"_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-68cef2fd769d3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bowman is an extremely talented sophomore cornerback who's progressed well from his freshman year to now. He holds a bit too much, but he's gotten better at that as the season goes on. That's about all the negatives you can point out for him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bowman has nice size, is highly athletic, and plays good coverage. He has swift hips and moves well, so he excels at the outside corner spot. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["855617"],"_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-68cef2fd76a79"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='855617' first='Andrew' last='Robinson'] is an impressive young corner who's showcased his coverage skills while being able to do much more. He's a compact DB who plays the boundary well and has a great football mind.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He knows when to break off coverage or come down to make a tackle. Robinson is extremely twitchy and athletic, while having sound technique.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1316718"],"_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-68cef2fd76b07"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1316718' first='Mylz' last='Williams'] is a solid, young defensive back with much upside. McCallie uses him everywhere on the field, whether as a boundary corner, in the slot or even walking him up in the box.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He's undersized but makes up for it by playing strong and with his hair on fire. Williams is excellent at getting out of his break, shedding blocks and making downhill tackles. He's solid in coverage and plays smart, knowing where to be and when to break off against Opposing offenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1305791"],"_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-68cef2fd76b91"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kendall “KJ” Hoskins from Pearl Cohn is an intriguing 2028 prospect. He's played a good amount of corner and safety over his first year and a half of high school ball, but projects more as a cornerback to me. He can play both positions well, but his ability to play tight coverage, keep up with speedy receivers and adjust quickly at CB impresses me.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoskins has a high football IQ, is explosive all over the field, lays the boom occasionally, and is just a good player with a lot of potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1691522"],"_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-68cef2fd76c02"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1691522' first='Quincy' last='Mills'] is a young player who caught my eye quickly with his ball-hawking skills. He's a solid coverage guy, which is a must. But his ability to constantly force turnovers and make plays is a major plus and something college coaches will notice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">He has nice size for a sophomore corner with great instincts and a good feel for his surroundings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
