He's a punishing offensive lineman who can wreck the running game on the defensive line. The big 6-foot-3 280-pounder flashed easy D1-caliber talent and potential last season, making a major impact on the Savannah Christian defensive line. He made 22 tackles on defense with three TFLs while also dominating on the offensive line. His best football is way ahead of him, and while he opened of a lot of eyes in 2025, Brown has a chance to be one of the best across Georgia with a giant junior season in 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2183063"],"_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-6a5e83d2f3dd8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">One of the fastest-rising defensive line prospects in Georgia, Thompson is a versatile defender who can create havoc off the edge while being able to shoot the running lanes from the interior. At Peachtree Ridge last season, Thompson was tough to block all season long, making 49 total tackles, 6.5 sacks, 13 TFLs, three forced fumbles, one pass deflection, and 13 more QB pressures. He was dominant at times last fall as a sophomore at 6-foot-3 240-pounds who should shine on the Roswell defense as a junior this fall. Thompson is an easy Power Four talent who should push for All-Region honors this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2222699"],"_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-6a5e83d2f3e62"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A powerful interior defensive line prospect to know in Cobb County, Beard brings a compact frame with impressive lower-body strength and a max-effort style of play. The big 6-foot-3 280-pounder was a really impactful defender for a very talented Walton defense last fall, making 58 tackles, seven TFLs and three sacks while also adding nine quarterback pressures. He's a run-stuffing defensive tackle who does a good job of pressuring the quarterback from the inside. Look for Beard to be one of the more impactful 2028 defensive linemen in the region next fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2228804"],"_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-6a5e83d2f3ee9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Another small-town defensive tackle flying under the radar, Williams is a powerful interior defender at 6-foot-1 305-pounds who creates consistent chaos in the trenches. The Southwest Georgia defender plays hard for his size, shows violent hands, and impressive mobility for a heavy lineman. He hits hard behind his pads and should be one of the best defensive linemen in the region. this fall. He flashed D1-caliber potential last fall as a sophomore and could see more respectable offers come his way with a strong junior season in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2251844"],"_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-6a5e83d2f3f6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lean, athletic defender who can play standing up or along the defensive line, Miller is a quick, active prospect in the Atlanta area who stands at 6-foot-3 210-pounds. He plays fast, should continue to put more weight on, and is coming off a strong sophomore season where he made three sacks. He plays hard, brings an above-average pass-rush, and will be one of the top 2028 defenders in Decatur this fall. His talent and potential is easy to see and just two reasons why he was added to the latest Prep Redzone rankings. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
