Five 2027 Linebackers to Keep Tabs On

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These five linebackers in the 2027 class are worth keeping tabs on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["662007"],"_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-69d9a2ff5fd89"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='662007' first='Gregory' last='Batson Jr.'] is one of the names many will recognize sooner or later, as he has all the talent one could want. Batson has all the traits a linebacker needs and has one of the better frames. He is someone who could find himself going to a solid college, as many will want the tough prospect from the Peach State. Batson Jr. will give Lee Country their best chance to win a state championship. If he is at his best, there will be little to no defeats in their book.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1214548"],"_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-69d9a2ff5fe39"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">If you are wondering why [player_tooltip player_id='1214548' first='Max' last='Brown'] is one of the familiar names on this list, it is likely because he is one of the big-time linebackers in the state. He comes from a thick bloodline of talent, including one of the better linebackers in the country for college football, Sam Brown. The youngest of the brothers now has his chance to return from injury and help his team win the state championship. It is safe to say that when he is at his best, he is a top-five linebacker in the state. Keep tabs on the Jefferson High School linebacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["416404"],"_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-69d9a2ff5feb7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='416404' first='Josh' last='Echols'] is entirely too underrated on our list, as he is likely to climb when the rankings change. He is easily a top-10 linebacker in the state, and very well could be considered for a top-5 spot. Echols is violent, and one of the better run stoppers in the state. Echols is also someone who has all the talent when it comes to his ability to chop down a running back and a quarterback. He also plays at one of the better high schools in the country, as he and the Wolves will look to defend their national championship.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["707456"],"_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-69d9a2ff5ff2e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='707456' first='Zion' last='Paul'] is one of the better players in the state at the linebacker position. Paul has teh full package, and is a growing frame, as he has both solid traits in run stuffing and pass rushing. He can also cover wide receivers really well, as he is quick and fast. Paul has the potential to find himself in the top-100 and the top-10 following this next season. I also believe he will be a college athlete one day, as he has all the traits that would allow him to be recruited. He also plays for one of the better high schools in the state of Georgia, which is a huge plus.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1096386"],"_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-69d9a2ff5ffa3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1096386' first='Major' last='Levell'] is likely someone you are hearing about for the first time. He is someone who has all the traits, but is in a growing frame. Now that he is entering his final season of high school football, all eyes will be on him. He has all the physical traits, but will need to continue to grow if he wants to make a top-10 push. He is someone I am keeping tabs on, and I would suggest everyone do the same, as if Creekside wins the state championship, a lot of thanks will be given to the field general linebacker.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
