Breaking Down New Additions in the Latest 2028 Rankings Update

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We added a good number of prospects to our rankings in Indiana this month for the Class of 2028. In our next article and multi-part series, we break down four new additions and will continue to do so throughout the month of February. These four early risers have a chance to become high-impact players in the fall and beyond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2045788"],"_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-698f18ff71f01"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2045788' first='Braylen' last='Cowans'] has a very strong leg, with multiple touchbacks and having great depth in his swing. Cowans kicks much bigger than his 5-foot-10, 160-pound frame would indicate, delivering the ball deep into the endzone. We don't evaluate specialists very much, but clearly Cowans is a name to note in the future with two years of high school football still on the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2113272"],"_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-698f18ff71f9d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2113272' first='Mikey' last='Renfro'] is a heavy hitter with a nose for the ball and takes very good angles to running backs. Renfro is very good in space, displays great read-and-reaction time, and is very quick to close on ballcarriers. He has great sideline-to-sideline range and is a very good open-field tackler. When he is used as a pass rusher, he can deliver heavy hits on opposing quarterbacks.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2119939"],"_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-698f18ff71ff0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tua'John Averitte is a strong and tough running back and used in multiple phases of the offense and special teams. On special teams he is a very dynamic returner who can make defenders miss in space. At tailback, he is a good dual-threat runner and receiver who can create on his own and elude tackles. His dual-threat ability in modern college football offenses is a huge asset for his next-level potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2082570"],"_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-698f18ff72035"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2082570' first='Kyler' last='Hardacre'] was a junior varsity linebacker for Whiteland High School last season, so expect him to have a role on varsity this fall. Hardacre is very good in coverage, dropping back and snagging interceptions with the ability to take them to the house. A stout and rangy run defender, he can make open-field tackles, fly to the ball and displays great instincts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
