Multi-Purpose Hoosier State Prospects Get Rankings Boost

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We added hundreds of prospects to our rankings in Indiana last 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 months of February and March. 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":["1663251"],"_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-699db2ce4c702"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1663251' first='Gerard' last='Buckley'] is a starting cornerback for Warren Central High School. Buckley is very physical in coverage, unafraid to use his hands and get very physical with receivers at the line of scrimmage. Buckley can cover and carry deep routes effectively, times the ball well to break up passes and can play both off/man. Buckley is a must-know name to keep an eye on this upcoming season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1663921"],"_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-699db2ce4c766"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bret Buecher, who is both a RB and WR, is used on sweeps and long runs designed to get him out in space, but he is also a tough runner between the tackles who finishes forward on contact and knows how to hit the hole with good balance and burst. He also plays a role on special teams as a returner on kickoffs. Recorded 1,700 all-purpose yards last season and was the leading sophomore rushing leader in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2079133"],"_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-699db2ce4c7b9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='2079133' first='Thomas' last='Nusbaum'] is a solid receiving tight end for Northridge who flashes good hands in traffic, high-points the ball and wins one-on-one battles. Nusbaum finishes forward on contact, and as a run blocker he flashes strength to be able to latch onto defenders and drive them off the ball. Nusbaum has a 6-foot-3, 190 pound frame with plenty of room to add bulk and get stronger over the next two seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1273999"],"_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-699db2ce4c803"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1273999' first='Cole' last='Hunt'] is a strong defensive end and very good pass rusher for Hamilton Southeastern. Hunt has a chance to develop into a prospect over the next two seasons. He has a quick first step, very good use-of-hands and good edge speed to turn the corner and takes great angls to the QB. I love Hunt's motor, energy and effort.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
