He's a gifted athlete who shine son special teams, at running back, and in the secondary. He's a sure-tackling defender with outstanding ball skills and has the ability to make big plays on the ground on offense. He already has an impressive offer list and it's easy to see why. He's a natural on the field with a great feel for the game. No matter where he's lined up, Barner is able to make an impact. He's tough, physical, and one of the best athletes you'll find across the country in the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1589339"],"_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-6942f370766cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Right behind Barner is where you'll find the No.2-ranked player in Georgia. [player_tooltip player_id='1589339' first='Giovanni' last='Tuggle'], a dynamic two-way athlete from outside of Athens, is a gifted wide receiver and defensive back with easy five-star potential. The 6-foot-2 180-pounder is a multi-sport standout with elite athleticism who dominated all season long in 2025. Just a sophomore, Tuggle was consistently one of the best players on the field every week. In the secondary, Tuggle was a sure-tackling safety who also made play after play in coverage. He made 74 tackles and four INTs last year and flashed in other areas as well. He's another with easy five-star potential who should dominate even more in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1626107"],"_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-6942f3707671b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another tremendous athlete with speed, ball skills, elusiveness, and natural big-play ability, Green was one of the more productive wide receivers across the state this year in the 2028 class, catching 54 passes for 1,337 yards and 15 touchdowns to go along with 22 tackles on defense with three INTs. He's a go-to option in the passing game with consistent hands, outstanding acceleration, and the ability to score anytime he has the ball. He's easily one of the top 2028 two-way players in the state and best overall players in the region. He was outstanding as a sophomore and should see some big offers come his way this winter.

A dependable defensive back as well who made 13 tackles with one forced fumble and another fumble recovery, Brown was an easy option at running back where he ran for 445 yards and four touchdowns, averaging an impressive 8.7 yards per carry. He also hauled in 22 passes for 141 yards and two more scores. He's an above-average athlete who should have a giant junior season in 2025.

He was one of the better players for Toombs County this season and he did it as a sophomore. The 5-foot-10 175-pounder caught 46 passes on offense for 722 yards and seven touchdowns while making 42 tackles on defense with seven INTs. He's fresh off his breakout season and could see his recruitment completely take off this winter.
