He has exceptional size and a large frame. He has a good first step, has good hip bend for his size. He uses power and physicality to win, and he has quick hands. He's an interesting prospect who blends size and speed well and is a player who is primed for a huge offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689932"],"_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-692b99cbbd2b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Elias finishes the year as the 20th-ranked prospect and the OL3 in the class. Elias has a great frame, and he is quick off the line and has good lateral quickness to his game. He has a strong base and excellent technique. He does well with hand fighting and has good strength in his game. He doesn't get grabby or make any unnecessary penalties. He's fundamentally sound and is a player who is only going to improve. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1148491"],"_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-692b99cbbd300"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jakson finishes the year as the 23rd-ranked prospect and the EDGE5 in the class. Jakson has good size and can line up as an EDGE rusher or move inside if needed. He has good strength and plays with excellent physicality. He is an active defender who is disciplined and does well against the rush and the pass. He has good acceleration and is a player who will continue to refine his craft. Lots of traits to like. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["944759"],"_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-692b99cbbd345"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaxon finishes the year as the 29th-ranked prospect and the QB3 in the class. Jaxon made the biggest rise during the season and helped himself the most to springboard for a huge 2026 season. He is a signal caller who processes quickly, has a quick release, and throws his receivers open. He does well dotting the field and can make the throws you want to see. With a full offseason of being the guy, he should take full advantage and get D1 offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689469"],"_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-692b99cbbd388"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Malik finishes the year as the 32nd-ranked prospect in the state and the WR4 in the class. If it wasn't for our offseason evaluation, he would have likely been the biggest riser, but having the pulse in the state, he debuted in the 70s for his. He more than lived up to the expectations we had prior to the start of the season. He's still a raw athlete who will continue to get refinement, and with that, we should see a better overall route runner. What he did this season was based on raw ability. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Those are five risers to know in the 2027 class</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
