<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These sleeper 2028 prospects are in store for breakout junior seasons...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2170214"],"_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-6a1e1ca0d2dcf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the more underrated tight ends across North Georgia, Teal is a physically-gifted and versatile prospect at 6-foot-4 225-pounds who should make a giant impact on the Pickens passing attack next fall as a junior. He shows good speed for his size, soft hands, and the ability to pick up big yards after the catch. He can line up as a traditional tight end, H-Back, or possibly out wide on the perimeter. He brings easy D1 potential and should see plenty of targets come his way next season. If that happens, look for offers to come flying his way. Teal should see a big boost in the next Prep Redzone rankings.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1869207"],"_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-6a1e1ca0d2e7e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A hard-hitting defensive back from East Coweta, Freeman brings a lengthy frame at 6-foot-2 170-pounds who plays with an aggressive style of play. He shows good instincts, he plays fast, and is one of the top returning 2028 defenders in the region. He was all over the field last season as a sophomore, making over 70 tackles, 15 TFLs, 11 pass-breakups, and one forced fumble. He's a do-it-all defender in store for a true breakout 2026 season this fall. He's currently ranked as the No. 21 DB prospect in the state for his class but could see a bump in the next update later this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2221244"],"_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-6a1f18de7b2a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A Gwinnett County cornerback on the rise who could push for All-Region status this fall, Bell is a lean, athletic defensive back who doesn't get tricked on double-moves and can stick with receivers down the sideline. He's a physical tackler and didn't play like your typical sophomore last season. He was sound in coverage and showed he's able to make a key tackle in space as he made 33 tackles and one INT in coverage last season. His talent was noticeable, as was is D1-potential. He's earned offers this spring from Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee State, Georgia State, among others and could see more come his way with a breakout junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1590355"],"_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-6a1f18de7b3b7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">An aggressive, hard-hitting defender who can play safety or closer to the line of scrimmage, Huff is an above-average athlete who plays hard and knows how to deliver a physical hit on the ball-carrier. Just a sophomore, Huff was one of the more consistent defenders for the Calhoun defense last season as he made 75 tackles, six TFLs and six pass-breakups in coverage to go along with one forced fumble. He shows good instincts in coverage along with above-average physicality that should allow him to have a terrific junior season in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1524568"],"_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-6a1f18de7b4a4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A sleeper defensive lineman on the rise in Atlanta, Brewington shows impressive quickness and a promising 6-foot-5 220-pound frame who will play his junior season next fall for Langston Hughes. The playmaking lineman shows impressive burst off the snap and made play after play in the backfield last fall as a sophomore. The fast-rising defender has the potential to have a breakout junior year after an eye-opening 2025 season where he made 40 tackles, nine TFLs, two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, and several pass-breakups. Look for him to continue to get better and better next fall in year three.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
