2029 Rankings: Need to Know Major Movers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I take a look at some of the top rankings risers in the recent 2029 rankings update. I have gotten eyes on all these prospects this pre-season and see them having big years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["987760"],"_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-6a906c7c9d71d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Richard moves up a handful of spots in the recent rankings update to #15 overall and the #3 overall DB. Already with the early season Richard is having in pre-season and through he first game; #15 may even be to low. A big, long, physical, athletic DB, Richard checks off a lot of boxes. Mainly playing CB, he offers plenty of positional versatility at DB. A strong tackler he can play close to the LOS and in the box. Richard has a nose for the ball and making big plays. In GC's week 1 game vs Bishop McDevitt (PA) this weekend, Richard blanketed his man and got his hands on the pass to take it 95yds for a pick 6. Overall, Richard is a playmaking, versatile, complete DB that is easily deserving of this ranking &amp; on his way to another rankings jump in the next update.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Colleges seem to agree as Richard already holds a handful+ of P4 offers from the likes of Notre Dame, Ohio State, UMD and others. If he continues to play the way he has early on this season, Richard will easily be a 20+ offer National Recruit. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">95yd pick 6.

He's got great size at 6'5" and long lean 250lbs. Able to play multiple spots along the DL as a DE or IDL. Kaden plays with plenty of physicality and power. Able to collapse the pocket and get power through his hips to drive blockers back on their heels. Shows the ability to shed, swim and swipe away blockers. Kaden is a DL prospect with a high ceiling and should have a big sophomore season. Currently holding offers from UMD and Temple, I can see many more coming his way this year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Footwork.

He's got all the size at 6'5" 280lbs+ and able to play OT or OG. Zach shows good feet and plenty of strength/power. Able to quick pull, reach block, down block, and get up to the 2nd level. Shows a quick forceful initial punch at the POA. Like his ability to sink his hips, anchor down and get a strong base that makes him very tough to beat. I saw Zachary in his week 0 game vs. Calvert Hall and he did an excellent jump shutting down some top DL prospects. Currently holding just one offer from the hometown Terps, Zachary will be a name plenty of colleges get to know this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshman Year Off Season Training |Gonzaga College High School<br>Pass set work.

A player I got eyes on early this pre-season and see another big rankings jump in his future. An athletic OLB / Edge defender with a high level frame &amp; length. J'mir is a LB who can get on his horse &amp; go. He shows fluid hips to turn &amp; run and chase down the ball. J'mir plays fast &amp; physical and will lay a smack on the ball carrier. J'mir has no offers yet, but I think he will have a break through sophomore campaign and be a name college coaches will learn quickly. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
