SVL 2028's with good upside

We're talking prospects from Heritage, Grand Blanc, and Davison today. For the past few years, all three of these programs have done an excellent job developing talent. A new year means a new set of players who will have their best season yet.    Kingston remains one of my favorite receivers in the 2028 class. His highlights clearly showcase his ability to quickly manipulate DBs off the line of scrimmage. Kingston has upper-end footwork and burst out of his release, and does a nice job tracking the ball downfield. Several highlights show Kingston wide-open against legitimately good competition- that those wide-open opportunities are due to his route running and overall athletic profile.   Additionally, Kingston does a good job as a blocker. The mentality is there, but he does need to clean up some technique.   I've said it several times, but I am very confident that Kingston is a future college prospect. I feel that he's right on the edge of D1.      Jackson has a good foundation that he has an opportunity to build off of this offseason. For one, I like Jackson's size and length. On tape, he looks legit 6'2" with solid arm length.   Against Midland, Jackson earned a few opportunities. At 0:25, Jackson does a good job following his blocker on the bubble screen. In his first highlight, Jackson catches a post route and takes it to the house. Generally, I think Jackson's game would reach a new level with upgraded explosiveness and top speed.      I'm pleasantly surprised with how nice Ashton's sophomore season highlights are. Most of the highlights showcase a classic "elusive" back. Faster than most defenders, decent vision, and a few nice home-run plays against legit competition. Good development there, and very promising performances as part of a high-octane offense.   What I'm most impressed with is Ashton's blocking. Watch the highlights at 0:48 and 0:55. Ashton is not afraid to lower his shoulder and completely eliminate a defender. My only nitpick at 0:48 would be to stop looking behind you and keep finding defenders to hit after the initial block. Still, those kinds of blocking highlights are big green flags in my eyes.      In his sophomore season, Amir showed promise as a WR/DB. Generally, I think Amir has a good athletic floor. Especially at DB, he showcased good body control, and at times great physicality. Seriously, I'm very impressed with Amir's willingness to violently shed blocks. I like his ability at the point of attack, yet he sometimes waits for the opposing ballcarrier to come to him, thus giving up unnecessary yards.   Amir's very long highlight tape proves that he was an important piece to his team. Transitioning into Varsity, I'm interested to see what improvements Amir is able to make.      Mentality is half the battle when it comes to the offensive line. Jackson shows on tape that he possesses great effort, and through-the-whistle blocking.   I really like the highlight at 0:38. Jackson does a great job of driving the opposing DT back on the double team, then seamlessly jumping to the LB and Safety. Effectively, Jackson eliminated 3 defenders from the play. I don't think his QB scores the 25-yard rushing TD without Jackson's contribution.   Generally, Jackson showcases very good effort throughout the highlight tape. I do think Jackson could improve his agility and footwork, but those will come naturally if he does his job throughout this offseason.
