Impressive 2028 Prospects On The Rise

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These rising-juniors are bound for giant seasons in 2026...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1695298"],"_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-698c98b05d930"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A true do-it-all athlete who can play all over the field and on both sides of the ball, Jennings is listed at 6-foot-0 180-pounds but plays bigger than that. He's a bigger defensive back with toughness and impressive ball skills on offense. He also serves as a dual-threat quarterback who can be dangerous in the run game. He was consistently one of the better players in the region last year and has the potential to light up the stat sheet again with a possible "breakout" junior season. The Commerce native should see a big jump in the next 2028 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2091316"],"_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-698c98b05d990"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A natural defender in coverage who locates the football and can make a play on it, Davenport covers a lot of ground quickly and is fresh off an impressive sophomore season where he was reliable against the pass. He shows quick feet, above-average athleticism, and should be even better as a junior next fall after breaking up five passes in 2025. He's an Atlanta-area defensive back on the rise in the 2028 class who could be an All-Region candidate next season. Don't be surprised if his stock continues to rise more and more over the spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124933"],"_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-698c98b05d9d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A playmaking Cobb County pass-rusher who knows how havoc in the backfield, Gaddy plays fast and knows how to make a big tackle in the open field. As a junior last season for the Hillgrove, Gaddy was a versatile defender who could create pressure on the quarterback while being able to make plays in space. Just a sophomore, Gaddy showed a lot of promise with the potential to be one of the region's best defenders as a junior in 2026. He plays hard, brings a level of toughness, and shows easy D1-caliber potential. He's a Cobb County prospect to keep a close eye on this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1741023"],"_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-698f3c283cc99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper 2028 receiver on the rise with plenty of size for his age and impressive ball skills, Barber is a sophomore wideout who may not be flying under the radar much longer. After an offer from Georgia State, look for his 6-foot-3 190-pounder to pick up more and more throughout the spring. He's coming off a strong 2025 season where he showed lots of promise and big-play potential down the field. He tracks the ball well vertically and has a chance to have a breakout junior season if he continues to work hard and improve more and more over the next seven months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2127583"],"_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-698f3c283cd20"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A two-way prospect on the rise in the 2028 class, Crawford is a playmaking outside linebacker who gives great effort and sheds blocks naturally. He's raw, but his 6-foot-4 190-pound frame allows him to make an impact in the trenches defensively while being a weapon in the passing game as a tight end. The small-town prospect has the potential to have a dominant junior season if he continues to work hard and adds more muscle this off-season. If he does, look for his recruitment to pick up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
