<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>As we approach the Virginia 2028 Class Rankings update, a breakdown on a few prospects who have helped their stock this off-season</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1574915"],"_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-69bd678964478"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We didn't do [player_tooltip player_id='1574915' first='Grady' last='Swango'] enough justice in our prior rankings at 82nd overall he is not ranked high enough. He currently holds offers from over 10 FBS schools with the most recent being from Colorado and Memphis, Blaze set a school record in receptions as a sophomore last fall. He is fun to watch and a great story out of a Cox High School. Swango will for surely be getting a bump next week, in this loaded class he is too talented to miss. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GradySwango/status/2029328398661607500?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/GradySwango/status/2029328398661607500?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1695969"],"_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-69bd678964527"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Byers has been crushing it on the 7v7 circuit and he will come off the Watch List and be ranked this time around. Playing defensive back for Independence High School as a sophomore, he did not allow 1 touchdown his way in 2025. The Tigers are expected to compete for a Cedar Run title next fall and [player_tooltip player_id='2139244' first='Jaylen' last='Byers'] will have a major impact. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jaylen_byers/status/2018155431357518246?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jaylen_byers/status/2018155431357518246?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2043357"],"_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-69bd6789645a5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Donnelly too has been awesome on the 7v7 circuit and one of the best players I have watched recently. He is already in the top 100 for this group but he is due for a bigger bump next week. The All region safety is poised for more opportunities this fall on offense too, an excellent route runner who will have top ranked qb Colton Dabowski firing him missiles.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1014654"],"_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-69bd67896461a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1014654' first='Lennox' last='Williams'] will move back into our top 15 overall next week, he is a part of a loaded group with the Oscar Smith Tigers. Close to FBS offers now Williams is bigger in person trust me, I watched him and his teammate below in person against Madison. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Will11338Lennox/status/2014923499056361773?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Will11338Lennox/status/2014923499056361773?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1692066"],"_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-69bd67896468c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Halliday's recruiting is taking off after another state title he is now up to 14 Division 1 offers! Another prospect who passes the eye test, [player_tooltip player_id='1692066' first='Lincoln' last='Halliday'] is 6'4 and 248 lbs.. He is currently ranked 120th time for his spot to rise too. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/27LincolnH/status/2014740913201836097?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/27LincolnH/status/2014740913201836097?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
