They have one of the top guys at the position in the 2027 class and [player_tooltip player_id='1833634' first='Gavin' last='Wilson'] has established himself as the top guy in the 2028 class. Wilson is inside the top five in the overall rankings in this latest update. He cracked the starting lineup for the Spartans during his sophomore season and it didn't take long for college coaches to start noticing that Bixby had another monster growing on the line of scrimmage. Wilson's recruitment started to take off during the fall and hasn't slowed down. This spring and summer could propel Wilson even further in his recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689513"],"_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-69baac876eefd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1689513' first='Breck' last='Brady'] was in the high school football news this week after announcing that he had transferred from Bethany to Mustang. In the last two seasons, Brady had played on both sides of the ball. As a tight end on offense and as a game-wrecking defensive end on the other side. For us, we have Brady listed as a defensive lineman in this update. His film on that side of the ball is so impressive to watch and we think the upside is greater on that side. But you can't discount what he's able to do on offense at tight end. It will be fun to see how Brady makes the transition to playing against the top competition in the state, week in and week out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1532195"],"_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-69baac876ef69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Union defensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1532195' first='Terrance' last='Evans'] might be at the top of the list in terms of 2028 prospects that we want to see in person as soon as possible. Out of the top guys in this class, he's one that we haven't seen in person and just don't have a firm grasp on who he is as a prospect. As a freshman, Evans was one of the first 2028 prospects in the state to receive offers when he picked up a pair of SEC offers. As a sophomore, his film looks like it was limited to the start of the season. We didn't get a chance to watch him in person last spring so he's a high priority for us. On paper, he looks like a lane-clogging defensive tackle or nose guard with a high upside.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1689505"],"_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-69baac876efc9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Edmond North offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1689505' first='Wyatt' last='Knol'] is a 2028 prospect that we really like moving forward. He's just outside of the top ten but in our opinion, he's a top ten-quality prospect. We were excited about his potential heading into the 2025 season and Knol's sophomore film backed up that excitement. Another underrated part about Knol's game is what he's seeing every day in practice. Edmond North has some absolute dogs on the defensive line. Going against those guys in practice has to put Knol and the rest of the Edmond North offensive line in a position to get better. He's another '28 prospect that seems primed for a big spring and summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1522526"],"_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-69baac876f028"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Booker T Washington center [player_tooltip player_id='1522526' first='Philip' last='Loadholt III'] has been starting for the Hornets since his freshman season. Last month, Loadholt was right there at the top of the list in terms of the top performers at our Showcase event in Broken Arrow. Compared to some of the other top offensive linemen in the state, Loadholt doesn't have the size that others have. But throw on the tape or watch him go to work in person. Size questions immediately get erased. He's incredibly gifted on the line of scrimmage with a deep bag of moves to keep his defender in front of him. His strength and overall power is something that separates him from others at this position.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1054230"],"_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-69baac876f085"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mangum offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id='1054230' first='Aiden' last='Augustine'] continues to be a 2028 prospect that we like. Way down in southwestern Oklahoma, Augustine might be flying under the radar but he's going to be a three-year starter when his junior season begins. He's also a guy that is constantly putting in work in the offseason. He's been to several of our Showcase events and performs well every time. He's also training to get better and it has definitely shown. He's a technician on the offensive line and a prospect who's best football continues to be ahead of him. Like Loadholt, Augustine projects to being more of an interior offensive lineman because of his size.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
