<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 class rankings update is live, and today we're highlighting another group of talented recruits who were recently added to the rankings!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1301211"],"_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-695bfb033bda8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Horn is a good outside receiver with strong hands who attacks the ball in the air. He thrives against zone coverage and knows how to sit and find an open lane. He gives his QB a big target and always looks the ball all the way in. He can break tackles and pick up some valuable YAC as well. He's coming off back-to-back productive seasons, putting up 76 catches for 1002 yards and 10 TDs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061018"],"_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-695bfb033be44"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brummett is a shifty back with a good first step. He's good laterally and can make guys miss in a tight space. He's best on the outside runs where he can use his vision, stick his foot in the ground, and hit the lane when it opens up. He keeps his legs churning and doesn't go down without a fight. He rotated in last year and averaged just over 7 yards per carry. 598 rushing yards and 3 TDs in year 3 have him set up for a good senior campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061026"],"_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-695bfb033bec6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Farmer is a rising linebacker who not only looks the part but also seems to be well coached. He's disciplined in his reads and lanes. He's then got the athleticism to run down a play from behind. He's good at keeping outside containment and can wrap up solo in space. He broke out big for Castle this year, putting up 130 tackles, 7 TFLs, 3.5 sacks, and forced 2 fumbles. Smart and productive LBs are always worth their weight in gold, and Farmer could easily be a steal when it's all said and done for the '27 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1699127"],"_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-695bfb033bf36"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Baldini has improved each year and become a bigger focal point of the offense as he's earned it. He's always been efficient, averaging over 7.5 YPC in all 3 seasons. He's a 1-cut runner who doesn't waste time dancing in the backfield. His vision and ability to see things develop in front of him are top-notch notch and he'll fight for hard-earned yards. He put up 1431 rushing yards and 15 TDs on the season, all while having his biggest year through the air. He added another 218 yards and 3 TDs as a receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061063"],"_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-695bfb033bf80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nelson got the start for Cathedral this year and not only held his own, but proved to be a playmaker and an important piece of the defense. He's got fantastic range and can drop back in coverage, but is best near the line. He's able to create pressure and get in the backfield. He can shed blocks like an EDGE while having the speed to run down the ball carrier. I like his aggression and how he uses his body. His 57 tackles, 12 TFLs, 5 sacks, 4 passes deflected, and 2 forced fumbles on the year were good, but I still think there's more potential in the tank. Being year 1 and how his confidence grew throughout the year, I think he takes another step next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
