Boyd could become one of the shutdown defensive backs and could be one of the best players when it comes to locking down one side of the field. When the Carrollton Trojans need a defender to step up in a major way, it would be Boyd. Boyd is going to be the player who could rise the most inside the top 15, as he very well could be inside the top five, to say the least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["409989"],"_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-6a0fc9d3732ca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='409989' first='Trace' last='Hawkins'] is the best gunslinger in the state of Georgia in the class of 2028. It would come as a complete shock if he doesn't jump in the rankings after receiving the amount of attention that he has from college coaches, along with producing at a high level. Hawkins is a dual-threat, but his arm is the biggest plus when it comes to his game. His ability to lead an offense will also be praised, and he will be one of the better players when it comes to the winning aspect of things. Hawkins is one to monitor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["969646"],"_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-6a0fc9d37334f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='969646' first='Caine' last='Woods'] is one of the better gunslingers in all of Georgia, and he is arguably the best dual-threat player in the state. Woods will be the star of the Dalton offense, and he will be the player with the most hype due to the unbelievable plays he makes. It is ridiculous that he is outside of the top-50 when it comes to production, but it is safe to say that he will be the best player in the area, and will be the player who could rise the most this season, thanks to having a great group of wide receivers and a great offensive coordinator.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197755"],"_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-6a0fc9d3733d1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1197755' first='Joshua' last='Evans'] is one of the players with the best upside in the class of 2028, as he has been viewed as a top offensive lineman for quite some time and is even considered to be one of the better players on the Milton roster. He is going to have to protect [player_tooltip player_id='409921' first='Derrick' last='Baker'] to his fullest, but if he can do that, he will likely be a fast riser in the rankings. He is one who has been looked at as one of the better players in the state when it comes to pass blocking and run blocking. Keep an eye on this Milton standout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1523353"],"_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-6a0fc9d373468"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1523353' first='Kamden' last='Kendrick'] is one of the gunslingers in the state of Georgia who has made the most progress in the offseason. He continues to develop his deep ball and is much more accurate ahead of this next season. If he can translate this to his next team, then he will be one of the players who finds his way up the rankings, which isn't too far out of the picture, as he is already deserving to be a top-75 player in the state at this moment. I predict he will have a solid season and crack the top 99 at least.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

These five players could rise in the next rankings update, in my opinion.
