Underrated 2027's to Know

While the top recruits are going to get a ton of shine, there are a number of prospects climbing up D3 and D2 boards, and even sneaking onto some D1 boards! Below are 5 seniors to keep an eye on through this spring and heading into the fall.    Nash was lights out for Lowell this season. Thriving at the offensive guard position, Nash is a road grader in the run game, as well an agile and strong blocker in the passing game. He fires off fast and low, gets position early and does a great job of keeping his feet chopping. He has many highlights showing his ability to run a guy 10+ yards downfield and dumping them on their back. On passing sets, he doesn't get beat on finesse moves, as he is able to shuffle without getting his feet crossed and stays square to his opponent. I really love his game and I believe he could really wow some people at camps this spring.     Eli is a nasty offensive lineman that is versatile enough to play all over the line. He has taken snaps at center in the past, and has a ton of tape at guard, and that tape shows that he is just fine playing at tackle when asked to. Eli has a strong lower half and a good build that allows him to dig in and wedge guys out of the hole. He shows the ability to get to the 2nd level and lock onto defenders in the open space. That strong lower half allows him to anchor down on passing reps and hold strong against pass rushers. Great 2025 tape makes me even more excited for what Chavez can do.     I got to scout Xavier twice this season, and feel very confident that he will be a big-time player in 2026. A true dual-threat QB with wheels and a big arm, Xavier can hurt defenses in a variety of ways. A good portion of his highlights from 2025 show great arm strength as he pushes the ball downfield with ease. He also has great vision and thrives when rolling out and breaking contain. When he starts up field, he is incredibly hard to bring down. Xavier is a gamer with big-time upside that should draw eyes in 2026.     I think Kam could be one of the under-the-radar guys with great potential. As a receiver, he was extremely efficient. Whether it be on screens or getting downfield against 1 on 1 coverage, he made the most of his touches. His highlights showcase his ability to run after the catch with great awareness and speed. His route running is clean and his hands are well above average. This season he will be moving into being "The Guy" for his receiving group, and I think he will have a massive impact in 2026.     Everett is another underrated dude with a TON of talent. He's one of the most slippery running backs I have watched on film so far this offseason. On top of his agility and speed with the ball in his hand, he also has a number of highlights where he becomes a threat in the passing game, getting loose behind the secondary for some big chunk plays.
