<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These 2027 prospects in Georgia are still flying under the radar...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2125074"],"_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-698f3ca402d10"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A speedy, max-effort linebacker flying under the radar, Teall is a dependable small-town defender out of Cairo High School with a true nose for the football. He shows strong instincts and knows how to sneak his way through the line of scrimmage to make a big tackle in the backfield. He's one of more underrated 2027 linebackers in South Georgia bound for another impactful season in year four. The playmaking run defender made 128 tackles and 12 TFLs last season with the potential to improve on that as a senior. Don't be surprised if he's an All-Region candidate in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128364"],"_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-6990c7ec77115"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A West Georgia defensive tackle who deserves more attention, Johnson may not be the biggest or heaviest defensive tackle in the area, but he plays hard, fires off the snap, and knows how to collapse the pocket from the inside. He's naturally strong, knows how to shed blocks, and was a consistent defender all season long for the Tigers defense. He was a reliable run defender who made consistently plays at the line of scrimmage and in the backfield. This 6-foot-2 270-pounder made 49 tackles last season with 10 TFLs and seven sacks. Look for him to see a new Prep Redzone ranking come his way this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128375"],"_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-6990c7ec771b4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Don't let the size of this small-town athlete fool you. Lynch is a natural on the field with an impressive feel for the game. He's a max-effort defender on defense who also gives tremendous effort on special teams. His frame won't impress many, but his instincts and ability to make a secure tackle will. As a junior last season the Union County standout made 65 total tackles, 12 TFLs, two sacks and one pick-six. He's one of the more productive returning defenders in the area who should have an even bigger senior season in 2026. Lik many others, he'll be added to the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings that will come out in March.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128379"],"_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-6990c7ec77299"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A massive left tackle flying under the radar from. the small town of Dublin, Toney is a big 6-foot-5 280-pound prospect on the rise who does have a handful of respectable offers. However, when you turn on the tape, it's clear bigger programs are overlooking him right now. The rural Georgia offensive linemen has easy size, length, and served up pancakes all season long as a junior last season. The state is loaded with talented tackle prospects and Toney is one of the best in Middle Georgia. He has the ability to continue adding good weight and mass over the next several months with the potential to have a really strong final season this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128427"],"_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-6990c97937e1a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A new right tackle to know about in Southeast Georgia, Jones was a consistent run blocker on the right side all season long for the mighty Ware County Gators in 2025. As a junior last year, Jones shined both on the offensive line and on special teams, using his big 6-foot-5 210-pound frame and impressive length to take defenders out of the play. He's still learning and developing his craft, but if Jones has continue putting on as much weight and muscle mass as possible over the next several months, Jones could see some D1 interest and possible offers come his way in the future. His potential is easy to see and it's a big reason why he'll be added to the upcoming 2027 Prep Redzone rankings update next month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
