Four Sleeper Prospects Destined for Big Things in 2026

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We added over 100 new prospects to our 2027 rankings last month. Here are four prospects from all across the state who played on winning programs, and proved during the 2025 Indiana high school football season that they belong.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2065541"],"_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-6965649b557bb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2065541' first='Jaden' last='Saddler'] is a starting safety for Crown Point High School. Sadler, a 5-foot-11, 180-pound prospect, is a very effective tackler who can close on the ball and wrap up. He is also physical in coverage, breaking up passes and timing the ball well with his hands for incompletions. He is a very under-the-radar recruit who I expect to shine at college camps. Key returning starter for next year's squad.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1702985"],"_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-6965649b55842"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1702985' first='Dallas' last='Clarke'] is a classic sleeper prospect in the Class of 2027. Clarke, not to be confused with the longtime former Indianapolis Colts tight end, is a strong edge prospect who can turn the corner, takes great angles to the quarterback and knows how to run and hit. Clarke looks very tough and physically strong with a frame that has more room to grow. Another potential prospect who should see his stock rise during college camps.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1903442"],"_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-6965649b5589f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1903442' first='Jamarcus' last='Martin'] is a very athletic edge prospect. Like Clarke, he is 6-foot-3, but Martin is very explosive with a quick first step and a very high motor. Takes great angles to the quarterback and is a very physical tackler. Martin works to the whistle, taking great pursuit angles and playing with very high effort. It is very surprising he has not yet received any college offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2065551"],"_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-6965649b558fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2065551' first='Davion' last='Jones'] is a very talented wide receiver and cornerback for Lawrence North. Jones is a solid pass catcher with good adjustment to the ball, above-average speed and flashes being quick in/out of his breaks. After a solid sophomore season where h caught 24 passes for 503 yards, he had just 12 catches for 119 yards in 2025, but expect him to bounce back in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
