<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>New Subscribers save 30% use CODE: PLAYOFFS30</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I take a look at some 2027 prospects who are having breakout seasons this fall. They are currently un-ranked but will be making strong debuts in the upcoming end of year rankings updates. I have gotten eyes on a lot of these players and think they will all be offer prospects in the future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1971943"],"_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-68fa62f180475"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dylin has been a standout start performer for St. Mary's this season &amp; lights out versus MIAA competition in recent weeks. Against Loyola Scored 4 TD's, had a 100 yard INT for a TD right before halftime / had a 90 yard KO return to start the game and had 7 catches for 241 yards. Last week in a big win over Calvert Hall he added 2 more receiving TDs. One being the score to send the game to OT and his 2nd TD catch to seal the victory.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With good size a t a legit 6'0" and long, lean yoked up build, Dylin looks the part out on the field. He starts on both sides of the ball for St. Mary's and is a returner for them as well. Making Dylin and impact player across all 3 phases of the game. A overall smooth athlete, Dylin is dynamic with the ball in his hands. Show burst and run away ability, backed by a documented 21.07mph top speed. When running routes he will stick his foot in the ground and gets vertical and will splits seams on defenders. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dylin is a 2027 player making his name know this season and will be a strong addition to the end of year rankings update. Expect him to be picking up strong college interest this winter/spring as he is a offer kid in my mind.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">My late mid season highlights <br>6 touchdowns<br>29 catches for 512 receiving yards<br>858 All Purpose yards<a href="https://twitter.com/davidmh__?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@davidmh__</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NPShowcases?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NPShowcases</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/_Choice2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@_Choice2</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/dspmd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@dspmd</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/NPCoachZim?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NPCoachZim</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/STMSaintsFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@STMSaintsFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachTaylor_23?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachTaylor_23</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DJHitaffer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DJHitaffer</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/OnlyOneNeno4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@OnlyOneNeno4</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SeamusLooney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SeamusLooney</a> <a href="https://t.co/3hG3N9ft0K">pic.twitter.com/3hG3N9ft0K</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1971943' first='Dylin' last='Jackson'] (@Dylinj_19) <a href="https://twitter.com/Dylinj_19/status/1978453618362552452?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 15, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1971946"],"_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-68fa62f1804d0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I was able to see Braxton in person recently and his size &amp; length stood out right away, fitting the mold for todays DBs. A physical player in coverage, he can play bump &amp; run as well as come up to make tkls at the LOS. Braxton shows the ability to play man press or off coverage with good eye discipline. Braxton showcases good ball skills, able to track it well leafing to getting PBUs. He gets his hands on so many passes I would like to see him turn more of those into INTs however. A nice overall athlete and basketball player as well, you see it translate on the field with his fluid hips, able to flip/turn and go with no loss of momentum.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Braxton is also a High academic prospect making him a good candidate for IVYs/Patriot colleges. He should be in contention for top DBs out of DC for his class with the season he is putting together so far for Maret.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1971950"],"_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-68fa62f180521"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jeraiah has been one of a few standout offense performers for the 7-0 South River Seahawks this season. He immediately catches your eye with his size, length, frame combo. At a legit 6'4+ and long arms and a build to add on good bulk/strength. He is a prospect with high potential when you project him out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Can be used as Flex TE or kept inline where he is a willing blocker that is improving week after week. A dual sport athlete, he also plays basketball and use that translate on the field. Jeraiah can go up and get the ball, strong leaper and fluid runner. Uses his length well to catch the ball away from his body and the defender. Effective in the flats, up the seam, and very effective as a red zone option. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Look for Jeraiah to be an player that gets on a lot of colleges radar and be a camp star this summer. With new rankings coming out you can certainly expect him to be a top TE for his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">TE with 5 catches for 64 yards and a TD in 4 games.

David is an impact player on both sides of the ball for Eastern Tech, playing both RB and LB and performing lights out at both.At RBs he's had a game of over 250yds and 4 TDs and at LB who routinely racks up tackles and makes plays in the backfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">David looks athletic on film, moves well in space and plays fast. He flies to the ball on D and tackles through the ball carrier. At RB he shows nice cutting ability, some quick feet/twitchy hips and solid breakaway speed. As he continues to fill out his frame, I feel he will be best at LB however. A high academic prospect as well, think he will be a sleeper prospect going forward. One colleges need to see this winter/spring as he could be a gem - will certainly get a spot in the next rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">10+ Tackles, 2+ TFL, 1 Sack in Season Opener!

An Edge defender, able to play stand up rush OLB or with his hand in the dirt DE. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">With a nice lean frame and solid length. Xavier will fill out well going forward, can see him being a 250+ player easily by his senior year. With impressive bend and burst from the edge, Xavier is able to get nice leverage at the POA. He shows good feet and overall athleticism with a nice set or rush moves. He can rip, dip and bend the edge, and shows a nice spin counter move. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Impressive hand usage already combined with his explosiveness making Xavier a dangerous player.

He is a big body OL prospect who could play OT or OG at the next level. You put on his tape and you notice right away he is a physical player with good strength. Zack was the IAC Heavyweight Wrestling Champion last year and that shows on the football field. He is able to get nice leverage at the LOS, getting into the defenders chest and driving. Zack plays with some good nastiness and aggression as well, burying defenders in the dirt and keeping them there. He also plays with active feet in both run and pass pro. He is able to pull and come with force and in pass pro shows a fluid kick step along with the ability to re-set after initial contact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like what I've seen so far in his game. Lots of potential still in him as he develops and gets stronger. Zack is also a High academic prospect who should be getting strong looks Patriot/IVY schools this year and into the summer. I believe he was a Top 100 player in his class for previous VA rankings and you can expect similar for him in the upcoming MD/DC/DE 2027 end of year rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">2025 Junior Year Midseason Highlights <a href="https://twitter.com/LandonVFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LandonVFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachPadalino57?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachPadalino57</a> <a href="https://t.co/0wkOcqSpA6">https://t.co/0wkOcqSpA6</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1311704' first='Zack' last='Helmreich'] &#039;27 (@ZHelmreich) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZHelmreich/status/1977415596951433395?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
