<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I take a look at a few underclassmen from the 2028 and 2029 prospects who have caught my eye in recent weeks. They are players on the rise as players going into the fall that will be names to know. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2160917"],"_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-69f205ff0c98e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaden saw limited reps on varsity last fall but showcased his talent when he was on the field. With standout size at 6'5" 240lbs, nice length and a good motor. Kaden offers a versatile skill set at this stage, allowing him to play multiple spots on the Dline. He plays with good power and leverage. Walking offensive lineman back and collpasing the pocket while getting to the ball carrier. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">His recruitment has already started to picked up as he go his first offer from in state UMD the other weekend. Primed for a big sophomore season as a dominate DL contributor for Concordia this upcoming season, he is certainly a prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After a great conversation I'm so grateful to receive my first D1 offer from The Crib🐢 <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBatts?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBatts</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/kschmittMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@kschmittMD</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBrownDB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBrownDB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SidneyStewart33?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SidneyStewart33</a> <a href="https://t.co/4P6czG4quz">pic.twitter.com/4P6czG4quz</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='2160917' first='Kaden' last='Cabean'] (@18__kaden) <a href="https://twitter.com/18__kaden/status/2049114629452800307?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 28, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2194525"],"_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-69f205ff0ca2d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bryan is a player who is certainly on the rise as a prospect. He is putting together a good spring and should be a name on the camp circuit this summer. A nice frame he has filled out with good muscle since the fall. He plays fast and physical. An aggressive DB who will come run the alley and can lay a hit. Shows solid hips &amp; nice overall athleticism covering areas of grass with suddenness and burst. At Safety, Bryan trust his eyes and is quick to react &amp; close on the play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A high academic player as well, carrying a 4.0 GPA which should make him an attractive prospect for high academic scholarship schools. I can expect Bryan to be an impact player for Landon this upcoming fall and one who moves up the rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sophomore SZN film!

A DB with high level length and fluid hips. Jaxon breaks down well to sink and burst out of transitions. He can turn and go, running with receivers and has quick feet / COD ability. Jaxon is quick to trigger on the pass, trusting his eyes and goes up to attack the ball in the air. I would like to see him improve his hands some still. need some work to turn those PBUs into INTs. Overall he is physical, not afraid of contact and an athletic kid. Represented by a track time of a 22.8 200M. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaxon already picked up his first offer from Temple last week.

Possessing excellent length and a frame to go along with it, he passes the eye ball test. Able to play DE in an odd front or slide inside at a pass rushing DT, Nomue offers lots of versatility in todays game. Plays with a high motor, chases down the ball and fights through contact. Nomue shoes active hands and ability to the bend the edge and dip under OTs arms to flatten down the line to the ball. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There is a great skill set there that should blossom as Nomue gets more reps and fills out with more bulk to strengthen up. Look for him to be a name that starts to pop up and make a strong debut in the next 28 rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sophomore Season Highlights <a href="https://t.co/a3wxR90wr2">pic.twitter.com/a3wxR90wr2</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='2194539' first='Nomue' last='Duncan'] (@NomueDuncan) <a href="https://twitter.com/NomueDuncan/status/1999621517966033086?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 12, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2118341"],"_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-69f205ff0cb5f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An under the radar gem of a prospect in my mind at this stage, James is a 2029 prospect that has a ton of potential. With P4 size, an 80" wingspan and a frame to go along with it -James looks every bit the part on the hoof. He possesses solid knee bend and very active, skillful footwork. Can sink his hips and shows a solid pop. He split time between JV and Varsity last fall, but should take over at OT full go next fall. James still needs more reps &amp; some overall development, but there is a lot to like about his future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">No college interest so far, but should make his name known this summer on the camp circuit.
