Honestly how can blame them the way he has dominated to start his senior year. Teasley is on a terror for St James Academy, he has been the number 1 threat on offense with the Strivers looking his way early and often. Watched him several times in person take simple screen passes 60 plus yards to the house, he has been sensational to start the year. In the past two weeks it appears Power 4 schools are noticing as he received offers from NC State, Wake Forest, Vanderbilt and most recently Penn State. Is he changing his commitment?</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1672675"],"_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-68dc853c94283"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Our number 2 ranked overall 2028 prospect [player_tooltip player_id='1672675' first='Langston' last='Pridgeon'] has well over 10 offers already and he just adding his most recent from North Carolina.
