Top 12 Rankings: Fast Risers in Indiana’s 2028 Class (Pt. 1)

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 in Indiana is starting to make waves as several prospects saw their recruiting blow up during the NCAA evaluation period. Our rankings update for the class features plenty of movers and shakers, and based on in-person evaluations, four prospects in-particular made serious rises.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1709524"],"_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-698b33978422b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Based on his size, strength, and athletic ability, Zionsville tight end [player_tooltip player_id='1709524' first='Theo' last='Schott'] deserves the top spot in the Class of 2028. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound tight end is an extremely good receiver, making great catches and flashing strength with the ball in his hands after contact. During the NCAA evaluation period, his recruiting blew up as he now holds 14 offers from some of the top teams in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1607851"],"_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-698b339784293"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">After seeing him play at Pylon's Indianapolis tournament and taking in a live evaluation, Bennett was the biggest riser on our list, shooting up the board and undoubtedly becoming a top-three prospect. Bennett has an excellent size-speed combination, strong route running skills and great adjustment to the ball. Having a 6-foot-5, 190-pound frame doesn't hurt, either. Like Eldridge, Bennett could become the #1 prospect on the board this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["826779"],"_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-698b3397842dc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='826779' first='Oscar' last='Sloan'] has the makings of being Indiana's top Class of 2028 quarterback. The 6-foot-4, 195-pound passer has the frame to grow, and he has a cannon for an arm. Sloan has a quick release, throws an on-time and accurate deep ball, and has velocity between the hashes, hitting receivers in stride. He is now up to 10 Division I offers with more likely to come.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2120894"],"_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-698b339784338"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">It was only a matter of time for Wayne High School '28 edge [player_tooltip player_id='2120894' first='Javontae' last='Eldridge'] to start gaining traction. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound prospect is a dynamic pass rusher who shined at the Indiana Preps winter showcase. With his size and arm length, it's conceivable that Eldridge, by the time his junior season is all said and done, could be the top prospect in the state. Expect his recruiting to blow up this summer in a big way.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
