<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>*Use code Johnson30 for 30% off a Prep Redzone membership*</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2027 is the largest list of athletes we have assembled before the end of their junior year has come. Because of that we have an unbelievable amount of talent available for coaches, recruiters, and scouts to work through. While doing just that I came across several 2027s who I believe are in position to fight for a spot inside the Top 100 overall players in the class. All the athletes in today's article are set for a lot of snaps and responsibility in their senior season and they all should be athletes to have a close eye on this summer at camps. Let's hit the tape and talk about the strengths that could push them into the Top 100 as they continue to develop and prove themselves this summer/fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2103512"],"_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-69dd726393a62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I am very excited to watch Bennett show off his talents this summer. He checks a lot of boxes. Boxes that are going to help him move into our Top 100. Bennett has the size at 6'3" 180 lbs and thanks to his strong hands the 2027 WR gets to fully maximize that wingspan and catch radius. His highlight reel is example after example of how well he can find the ball, adjust his path, and attack the ball in the air. Bennett also has the concentration and timing in traffic to be able to win those 50/50 jump balls. The long strides get him downfield with effective speed too. Don't miss out on this kid.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1733765"],"_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-69dd726393ac5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We start off with a 2027 who is in position to be a massive breakout player this summer. Clark missed 2025 with an injury and that has led him to slipping under the radar more than he would otherwise. When the 2027 shows that he is all the way back this summer then things should quickly return to what they should have been all along. Clark is going to show he is a verifiable mismatch. Someone with a solid frame who can go up and get the ball with strong hands and a great feel for tracking the ball downfield. Even more impressive will be his speed. Clark is a kid that can explosive off the line and threaten a defense deep downfield. This is a weapon that will force defenses to always have a 2nd defender over the top this fall. Don't sleep on this kid. I have high hopes for his summer performances.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620339"],"_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-69dd726393b0d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I love watching Colton's highlight cutups. He is big and built a very strong, stout frame. That strength has proven to be a major advantage for the 2027 DE/Edge. The tape shows a kid who can set the edge with ease and also can dominate with his bull rush. You see the heavy hands and the ability to turn his first step and overall quickness into instant power when he makes contact. That raw power almost overshadows his ability to win with flashes of speed and lateral quickness on his path into the backfield. If he can verify solid numbers for his quickness that will only solidify his overall game more and push him up our boards and assuredly others as well.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["578334"],"_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-69dd726393b51"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lincoln is a very well balanced edge/DE out of Oak Creek. He is a kid with an explosive and effective first step. The ways that Lincoln can win reps is vast and that should excite coaches at the next level. The tape shows a kid who can win with active hands, with the ability to dip underneath and bend around OTs, or bull rush his way into creating backfield chaos. Lincoln does a great job of keeping contain too, whether it be by using his speed to get to the sideline or by using his power to set the edge. A big summer and senior season is ahead of Lincoln.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2103528"],"_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-69dd726393b94"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This summer is going to be big for the Badger playmaker. AJ is such a versatile athlete who contributes both ways for Badger. They did a great job of utilizing his athletic advantages in 2025. With the football, AJ is a natural at reading blocks and the flow of the defense to help him pick the best paths to big plays. His speed turns those alleys of daylight that he finds into highlight reel plays at a high rate. His instincts are also prevelent on defense where he is able to fly around the secondary and provide tight coverage. It will be interesting to see the testing numbers and watch what positions he competes at this summer. AJ can do a lot for a team.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1733767"],"_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-69dd726393bd7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I love the versatility that Kadre brings to the defensive backfield. He has a frame that can allow him to play all over the secondary and he does just that in his highlights. The 2027 DB has the physicality and tackling to provide excellent run support off the edge or from the safety position. Kadre can also play fast, turning and running with receivers downfield or flying across the field to make a play on the football. Kadre also shows off a very high motor. He finds the football and finds a way to get to it to make a play or tackle. Kadre has a great chance to make a strong impression this summer with his array of talents on the back end.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1620323"],"_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-69dd726393c1e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">This is shaping into one of the bigger steals in this Class. Austin is a big WR with his 6'4" 180 lbs frame. It is impressive watching how strong he runs after the catch, keeping his feet through broken tackles. It was surprising to see how he can pull away with those long strides once he gets to open up in the open field. The hands look very natural too, easily plucking the ball out of the air with soft hands. Austin can win with his size, hands, and strength and those traits should stand out at camps all summer. Don't overlook the Shawano athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1315891"],"_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-69dd726393c62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Kainan can use this summer to launch himself into a big year. He has the prototypical size of a feature RB. The tape also shows a very versatile athlete who can stay on the field in most situations. He has soft hands and can get open with his route running, especially against LBs. There are also plenty of examples of his speed and burst through gaps. Plus he is going to be able to finish his runs with power and has the contact balance to create yards after contact. I can't wait to see what Kainan is able to produce in his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
