He can play multiple positions and is someone who will find his way onto the field soon. Hadley has the chance to rise in our rankings, as he is No. 7 right now among the defensive backs. I predict that he will find himself in the top five before the rankings close, and I encourage everyone to keep tabs on the Sandy Creek defensive back, who has the chance to show his true colors in his final high school season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1544940"],"_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-69dc31bf64773"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1584388' first='Kennedy' last='Green'] plays for one of the better high school programs and is quietly one of the better defensive backs in the state when it comes to his coverage skills and grades. He doesn't give many catches up, let alone touchdowns. I believe he is on the better side of things when it comes to his height and weight, and will be a next-level defensive back in the state of Georgia for this next season. This will be a massive year for the Douglas County defensive back. Make sure you keep tabs on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["425370"],"_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-69dc31bf647ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Buford Wolves have all the talent in the world, and a lot of their talent is on the defensive side of the ball. They are fresh off a national championship victory, and one of their better players on the roster is [player_tooltip player_id='425370' first='Ethan' last='Hauser'], who played great this last season and will be even better in his final season before he finds himself playing college football as a freshman. He is very gifted and is worth keeping tabs on, as he is a player who is viewed as a possible top-10 defensive back in the state by the time he finishes his high school career.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1201849"],"_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-69dc31bf64823"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1201849' first='Julian' last='Elzey'] is one of the better defensive backs in the state now; he just isn't in front of the mainstream media. He has all the solid traits one could want, and he could find himself playing multiple positions in college. Elzey is gifted in his movement, and is one of the very few defenders who doesn't skip a beat in either man or zone coverage. He is worth keeping tabs on, as he is one of the top-100 players, and is going to find his way into the top-50 if people get to see him live.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158144"],"_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-69dc31bf64874"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another player worth keeping tabs on in the state of Georgia is [player_tooltip player_id='1158144' first='Zachary' last='Ingram']. Ingram is one of the better players in the state and is playing for an elite program with an elite defense. Ingram has everything one could want for a defensive back in the state, but is often overshadowed by his peers in the class. He is worth keeping tabs on because of where he is ranked. He is right outside the top-30, and right ahead of the top-150. This puts him in a position in which he needs to hold on to his top-150 ranking, but will look to jump in his positional rankings. Make sure you keep tabs on him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These five defensive backs in the 2027 class are worth keeping tabs on.
