He's a max-effort lineman who has been unblockable so far this season. Just a sophomore, the North Georgia defender has made 59 tackles, 17 TFLs and 12 sacks in just seven games. He's a breakout 2028 defender who could be one of the very best in Georgia in his class. Right now, there aren't many sophomore defensive lineman across the country playing as well as Kukuni right now. Look for him to see a big rankings boost in the next 2028 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1970710"],"_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-68f7c713b6e36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A metro-Atlanta pass-rusher on the rise in the 2028 class, Kehinde is having a really strong sophomore season for Pebblebrook and has flashed easy D1 talent and potential this season.
