He shows terrific instincts in coverage and the ability to make big plays vertically as a receiver. He shows natural big play ability and the ability to leap and make a tough grab over a defender. The speedy, sure-handed 5-foot-11 165-pounder made 30 tackles and three INTs with 10 more pass-breakups while scoring four touchdowns on offense. He's an easy D1-caliber player with the potential to have a gigantic senior season this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2143432"],"_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-69a6f468418f9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrated EDGE defenders in metro-Atlanta, Taiwo is a big, raw athlete at 6-foot-3 225-pounds who plays hard and has his best football way ahead of him. He brings a promising frame, burst, and the ability to naturally create havoc in the backfield. He plays hard and should be tough to block all season long as a senior in 2026. He'll be an easy addition to the next 2027 Prep Redzone rankings after a strong junior season. He's one of the top returning defenders in the area and has seen his recruitment pick up recently with new offers from Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern, Middle Tennessee State, Eastern Carolina, among others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2143441"],"_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-69a6f46841940"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of several impressive McEachern defenders coming back for the 2026 season, Battle is an instinctive, technically sound cover corner who plays the sideline to his advantage on the perimeter. He brings good size, quick feet, and should only get better over the next few months heading into a possibly strong senior season. He tackles well and will be surrounded by several other D1-caliber teammates. Battle can run, jump, and plays with confidence. Florida State, App State, Michigan State, among others have extended offers over the last month. Battle should see a new ranking in the next 2027 Pep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2143618"],"_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-69a9921fd9623"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A powerful and productive defender from Atlanta still flying under the radar, Ward is a versatile defensive lineman who can play all over the line. He's quick and shows active hands when rushing the quarterback with the ability to play both on the edge and in the middle of the trenches. He's a good athlete with easy Power Four size at 6-foot-4 240-pounds. He plays hard and is fresh off an extremely productive junior season where he made 45 total tackles with nine sacks and seven more TFLs. He's only getting better and could be in store for a fantastic final season if he continues to work hard and develop more over the next several months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2143607"],"_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-69a9921fd967d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An under-the-radar defensive back from Gwinnett County, Roberts showed easy D1-talent last season as a junior as he consistently put himself in a position to make a play. Whether he was making plays in coverage or attacking the ball-carrier, Roberts was all over the field defensively with a strong feel for the game. He plays fast, he's active, and knows how to make a play on the football. He brings a promising 6-foot-1 180-pound frame and will be an easy addition to the next Prep Redzone rankings after putting up big numbers in 2025. The playmaking safety made 66 tackles last season with three INTs, eight more pass-breakups, six TFLs, five sacks and three forced fumbles. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
