<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These impressive 2028 prospects are seeing their stock rise...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1970771"],"_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-69a5b617f3c68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A natural athlete who can make plays in all three phases of the game, Dixon is a lengthy defensive back with fluid hips, impressive instincts, and the ability to cover receivers down the field. He's also a weapon on special teams who can return punts and block kicks. He's one of the top 2028 defensive backs in the region bound for a gigantic junior season later this fall. A sleeper athlete on the rise, Dixon is coming off a strong sophomore season for the Walton Raiders where he made 45 tackles, 10 pass deflections and two blocked field goals. His recruitment should pick up this spring and he'll be an easy addition to the upcoming Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1651409"],"_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-69a5b617f3d61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A dynamic defender who can also make an impact in other areas of the game, Odutola is coming off an outstanding sophomore season where he was a 1st-team All-Region selection. He plays hard, can make plays in coverage, and can line up at both linebacker and in the secondary. He's a quick-reacting defender who doesn't miss many tackles. He's a consistent player who made 59 tackles, 7.5 TFLs, one sack, three INTs, four pass-breakups, along with one forced fumble and another fumble recovery. He also made a big impact on offense, catching 19 passes for 244 yards and two touchdowns. He's currently ranked as the No. 20 ATH in Georgia for the 2028 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1591595"],"_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-69a5b617f3e2b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A fast-rising tight end on the rise in the Atlanta area, Tucker may not have lit up the stat sheet last season, but his potential is easy to see. He's physically gifted at 6-foot-4 210-pounds with soft hands and the ability to find holes in the defense. He's a versatile player who can line up as a fullback or H-back out of the backfield. His best football is still way ahead of him and he has a chance to be one of the best tight ends in the region next fall as a junior. He's big, talented, and has easy Power Four potential is he continues to work hard and improve over the next several months. Look for Tucker to see a bump in the upcoming 2028 Prep Redzone rankings update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2142779"],"_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-69a82e71e7dcb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A promising Gwinnett County dual-threat quarterback on the rise in the 2028 class, Halcomb showed lots of potential last year when he was able to lead the offense. A strong overall athlete who also shines on the baseball diamond, Halcomb is a mobile quarterback who throws accurately on the run. Just a sophomore last season, Halcomb threw for 776 yards and 11 touchdowns in a reserve role. He shows natural arm talent and gained plenty of experience last season against top-notch defenses. His arm strength, mobility, and size should allow him to have a possible "breakout" junior season in 2026. He'll also be an easy addition to the spring 2028 Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2010325"],"_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-69a82e71e7e38"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A physical, hard-hitting athlete who will be an excellent addition to an already loaded McEachern defense, Pollock is a quick-reacting defender who plays fast and knows how to deliver a fundamentally-sound tackle on the ball-carrier. He brings a lengthy 6-foot-1 180-pound frame and is versatile enough to play multiple positions in the secondary. He's fresh off a really strong sophomore season for Landmark Christian where he made 54 tackles, eight TFLs, three sacks, one INT and six pass-deflections. He's a weapon in the secondary who should have an excellent third season for one of the more talented teams across the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
