<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Prep Redzone looks at five Class of 2027 prospects in the state of Maryland that have gotten off to a great start so far this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["505244"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":1939080,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-68e542a0b7225"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hear me out. Pace is already highly rated. Top 5 isn't an insult. But it isn't far-fetched to see a future where he cracks the top three as it currently stands. He's been a dominant force thus far for DeMatha and I don't see that stopping anytime soon. At 6-4, 235 pounds, he's very quick off the edge, physical, and just a menace to opposing offensive linemen. Pace is one of the main reasons why DeMatha's defense is at or near the top in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1128020"],"_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-68e542a0b7286"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After two losses, Bush helped lead his team to a 40-0 win last week over Chopticton as he threw for 232 yards, three touchdowns, and three interception. For the season, he's completed 71-of-121 passes for 933 yards, eight touchddowns, and seven interceptions. He's team is currently 3-2. I haven't seen his games, so I'm not sure as to how the seven interceptions occurred. Still want to get that touchdown-to-interception ratio leaning more towards the touchdown side during the second half of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">CLIPS &amp; STATS from OUR great TEAM win vs our WEEK 5 opponents (chopticon)‼️: 17/22, 232 YDS, 4 TOT TDS (1 RUSH TD) <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Passion?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Passion</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/DAWG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#DAWG</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GRIT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GRIT</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AGTG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AGTG</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SMAC_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SMAC_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SwarmMills?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SwarmMills</a> <a href="https://t.co/61RNuHcX3k">pic.twitter.com/61RNuHcX3k</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1128020' first='Kian' last='Bush'] (@bush_kian) <a href="https://twitter.com/bush_kian/status/1974850964059525617?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 5, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1631168"],"_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-68e542a0b72cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Walls is part of the reason why his team currently sits at 5-0.

He's carried the football 97 times for 1,090 yards (11.2 yards per carry) and 17 touchdowns. What's more amazing about his hot start is that he's rushed for 200-plus yards in all of those games and has scored three or more touchdowns in each contest.
