Analyzing the 2027 Rankings: 8 New Prospects We Added

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We added more than 150 prospects to our rankings in Ohio last Friday. In part two of a multi-part series, we break down eight new additions:</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1934481"],"_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-6908b940de52d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robert “Brayden” Redd has tons of potential.  The 6-foot-1, 170-pound corner is very quick to close on the ball.  He is also very athletic, makes great interceptions and possesses elite ball skills.  Coaching staff is excited about his potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692924"],"_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-6908b940de62e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was only a matter of time before we added [player_tooltip player_id='1692924' first='Jason' last='Lewis'] to our rankings and he is more than worthy: Lewis is a big, tall safety prospect with good range and pursuit. Instinctive, gets downhill and can run and hit. Wraps up and is a good tackler in space.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

--> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Garner does not have the size of most Division I offensive tackles, but what he lacks in size he makes up for with great effort and solid foot speed.  Good first-step, fires forward at the second level.  Defensive tackle is likely his college fit, where his first-step quickness and ability to be a good interior run plugger are qualities that will serve him well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
