<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These promising 2027 prospects saw new offers come their way recently...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1648878"],"_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-698391d3d4d14"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There's a reason the Gainesville Red Elephants were one of the best teams in Georgia last season. They had terrific players all over the field, and Hurt was certainly one of them along the offensive line. A big, physical interior guard to plays with good leverage, Hurt is a max-effort lineman who opened up big running lanes in the trenches all season long. Even while he played alongside several other outstanding linemen, Hurt showed he was a reliable run blocker who also excelled in pass-protection. His junior season was so good that it led to a recent offer from the in-state Georgia Bulldogs. Look for other big offers to keep coming his way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1906557"],"_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-698391d3d4d9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy linebacker who really knows how to close on the ball-carrier and create havoc in the backfield, Williams is a sure-tackling middle linebacker bound for a major jump in the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings. He shows outstanding instincts against the run and constantly finds his way to the play. He eludes blocks and fights them off with no problem and lit up the stat sheet last season as a junior, making 138 tackles, 15 TFLs and six sacks to go along with one forced fumble and 23 QB pressures. His recruitment has taken off of late with impressive offers from Auburn, N.C State and UCF with more likely coming his way over the next several months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["308502"],"_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-698391d3d4e06"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Once known as one of the more underrated linebackers across the state, Battaglia is seeing some much-deserved offers come his way recently from UNLV, UMass, East Carolina, Miami (OH), Georgia Southern, Kennesaw State, among others. The speedy, sure-tackling linebacker for the mighty Milton Eagles was a consistent defender all season long and led a very stout defense as a junior. The 6-foot-2 210-pound max-effort linebacker made an impressive 121 tackles last season with nine TFLs, two sacks and two forced fumbles. Look for Battaglia to be even better as a senior in 2026. He's currently ranked as the No. 11 LB prospect in Georgia for the 2027 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1790380"],"_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-698391d3d4e6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lean, athletic left tackle for the mighty Grayson Rams, this promising junior sure didn't look 300-pounds when he was moving defenders out of the play last year. Jones, who protected the blind side for one of the best programs in the state, showed that he has the potential to be an outstanding pass-protector at the next level due to his length, mobility, and overall potential. He's fresh off a really strong season and has seen new offers come his way recently from Kentucky, Virginia, Colorado State, among others. Even after a really impressive 2025 season, Jones will aim to be even better as a senior. He'll also likely see a big bump in the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2119703"],"_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-69839386d1592"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A physically gifted left tackle who might see his recruitment really take off soon, Westerfield is one of many left tackles in the North Fulton/Roswell area seeing big offers come their way. At 6-foot-7 295-pounds, Westerfield was a bully all season long for the Roswell Hornets, doing it against outstanding competition. He's light on his feet, naturally strong, and plays with violence. He consistently put defenders into the ground and has his best football way ahead of him. The Roswell junior earned a big offer from the Georgia Bulldogs this week and should see a lot more come his way over time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
