*Use code "jackson30" for 30% off your PRZ subscription*   Here, we round out an in-depth analysis of our PRZAL 2028 Top 50, focusing on the prospects that will continue to shape the 2028 rankings in AL over the next several updates.    Boman is already on the FBS radar, a spot he will hold over the next few years. While listed as an ATH, I am most excited about his upside as a receiver. He is a long, lean 6'2 180 who offers a large catch radius on the outside. What he does after the catch is what impresses me the most. He is slick, can tap into different gears, and has the long strides to lift off from the defense when given a lane to run.     Sollie is about to announce his verbal prior to his junior season, so this is a good time to catch up and dive in. Sollie checks the boxes from a physical standpoint. He is a good enough athlete, has a quick release, and gets easy buzz off the ball. He proves capable of attacking each level of the field. What sets him apart is his patience. He is reined in, well-developed, and a prototype distributor of the football who will thrive in a setting that lets him get the ball out quickly.     I am confident that I am higher on Miles than anybody else in the industry. I am also confident that he will see his stock continue to rise from here. He hovers around 6'0 and plays on both sides of the ball, but will likely project best as a receiver. He is a truly elite playmaker with long speed, short-area quickness, and the ability to maintain his top gear while weaving around chaos. He runs hard, straining hard and attacking the turf to get every yard he can. I would consider Miles a P4-caliber prospect.     Charbonnet is the most shockingly underrated recruit in the state, and as I've said before, I find it very hard to believe that he will go the course of his recruitment without receiving some sort of attention from college coaches. Even while things are quiet, this guy is fun to watch. He is an impressive athlete who contributes in multiple sports at his size. What really sticks out on tape is his violence. This guy is mean, energetic, and sets the tone. Someone needs to get confident here and pull the trigger.     Davis is part of this top group of DL prospects in AL. What I initially thought would be an EDGE projection is looking more like a DL projection at this stage, especially since he is now listed around 280 pounds. He is a long, cut athlete who is fun to watch at the POA. He carries some heavy hands, which he uses in conjunction with his length to manipulate blockers and shed. He is an impressive athlete who can finish as a tackler and has enough of a top gear to offer some chase ability. I think he will stick as a 3T, with the ability to flex out as a 5T when needed.     Whitt has tacked on some P4 attention this offseason and is someone I am eager to learn more about. He is versatile, but I think he has a chance to stick as a true corner long-term. He is patient, smooth, knows when to get hands on receivers, and has the impressive ability to climb the ladder and play the ball in the air. He is a more than capable tackler who proves he can come downhill to make physical plays on blockers and ball carriers. He doubles as a prolific return man, adding more context to his athleticism.     This is one of my first true called shots in the 2028 class, but I think Staton has the tools to eventually emerge as a clear FBS WR prospect. He is a really flashy player on tape when given the opportunity last fall. He is a loose player who can break down DBs and slingshot at critical parts of the route. He is a smooth glider who occupies space well and plays with impressive body control when the ball is in the air. Just a smooth, reliable player.     Nicks picked up some FBS attention this offseason and should hold steady as a premier playmaker in this class. He is more of a gadgety, pure playmaker right now than he is a receiver, so I wouldn't anchor him down to a specific position just yet. Regardless, Nicks is scrappy and fights hard to stay on his feet and keep plays alive. So much so that I think you can actually overlook his athletic traits. He has elite explosiveness in the short areas and finds his top speed in a hurry. It is worth keeping tabs on Nicks to see how his recruitment unfolds.     White is an exciting player with over a dozen offers and is easy to dream on. White is the most well-developed, ready-to-go DL prospect in AL's 2028 class, as it stands today. He is a strong 6'3 290, and is densely packed into his frame. He can hold and manipulate the point with his strong anger, while also showcasing the ability to rip through blockers and shed. He is energetic and athletic as a tackler, proving he can settle down and make plays on faster athletes. White is an easy, high-floor eval.     [player_tooltip player_id='1651373' first='Nash' last='Davis'] catapulted up our 2028 rankings and rounds out our top 3. Every personnel staffer I talked to about this QB class in AL had something to say about [player_tooltip player_id='1651373' first='Nash' last='Davis'], and the added offers and attention the last few months validate that. He is waiting for his ultimate debut on varsity, but when you see this kid in person, you can see why he is easy to dream on. He is all of 6'5 with a rocket for an arm. I think there's a pretty solid chance Davis emerges as a P4 prospect.     Mostella is a highlight in what I think is a second group of OL prospects in Alabama. Mostella is listed at 6'4 285 and carries that weight with more room to grow. He is athletic enough to stick at RT, and even swing out to LT if needed. He is raw, and it shows at times with his balance and pad level. Regardless, he is mean and looks eager to throw violent punches and toss his body into people. I like the traits, and I like the violence. Plenty of inputs here that could pump out an FBS OL prospect.     White has emerged as a popular recruit and has several offers to his name. He is listed around 6'4 300, and is an obvious projection to play on the interior. White is a raw player athletically, still learning how to properly move and arrive at contact, but once he is there, few players in AL are capable of doing what he does. He is violent, strong, and uses his length to create extension. He does all this without having fully grown into himself, and he will only get better as he does exactly that.     Eutsey was a personal favorite of mine when watching the prospects in this list, and I ultimately rank him higher than the rest of the industry as things stand today. He is versatile and plays all over the field, but he looks most instinctual as a corner. He is a smooth mover with soft feet and fluid hips. I love his coverage skills, proving patient and matching the top of routes nicely. He can climb the ladder and proves difficult to drop the ball over. Regardless of where he ends up, he is a slick playmaker.     I don't think [player_tooltip player_id='1664762' first='MJ' last='Berry'] is getting the love he deserves, at least yet. He is listed at 6'2 190, running with rare size for an RB. Still, he can move, proving capable of creating his own yards and generating explosives with his long strides. As you could expect, he is a chore to bring down, which will only get better as he grows into his leggy frame. People need to be paying attention here.     [player_tooltip player_id='1864620' first='Marcus' last='Price'] rounds off our top 5 2028 EDGE prospects in the state, and for those keeping track, that means Central Phenix City has 2 of our top 5 players at the position. He is an athletic player who can bend and has an arsenal of moves to shed, but I think he will be best as an edge setter. He anchors well against contact, is patient, and takes pride in supporting the run. He might not be a prolific force as a pass rusher, but he has every-down potential and can put his hand in the turf, giving him a high floor.     Marturello is a big, strong OL prospect who debuts in the top 50 in this recent rankings update. He hides his weight on his frame and almost effortlessly controls the POA. He fires his feet and works hard to carry blocks vertically. He is still raw as a mover, but will only improve as he matures and learns how to move with his size. He is a high-floor player with a clear D1 grade.     [player_tooltip player_id='2133022' first='Shamar' last='Toodle'] is one of the more buzzy QB prospects in the state and comes from a family lineage of P4 athletes. Toodle is a raw passer, but he is entertaining to watch and is able to move the chains with both his arm and legs. He is a scrappy, powerful runner who can not only create his own yards, but grind down the curve of the defense with his physicality. He holds FBS offers and should get a crack at the D1 level.     I saw English on the 7v7 scene this offseason, where he impressed. College coaches like what they see as well, as he saw his offer list grow this offseason. English is a safety/slot player with impressive man coverage skills for that position. He is twitchy, smooth, and quick to his top gear. He is quick to his landmarks, covers a lot of ground, and plays the ball in the deep part of the field at a high level. He flashes urgency as a pursuer and tackler, too. I am a big fan of English, and I think P4 interest could creep up here.     Billingsley is rated as a top 5 ATH here in AL and a breakout candidate headed into the fall. He is an impressive athlete with frequent 100M readings under 11 seconds. He is a gadgety playmaker right now, doing most of his damage in space. He is fast, but I love how he is able to slow himself down and slip around in short areas to create his own yards. He has a chance to be a fun player.     I'm calling another shot here on Brown, who I think has a chance to rise in future updates. He is a big, physically manipulative player with flashes of a truly impressive size/athleticism specimen on tape. He will surely get more reps and experience this fall, which will only help him refine and become a better player. I am taking a flyer and taking the upside here.     Casey has held steady as a talented RB prospect, and I expect him to maintain in this range until he graduates. He is a strong, physical runner who embraces contact and doesn't unnecessarily peel off his path. He flashes a hot motor and squeezes the most out of each rep, which helps him stay on his feet and fall forward. He is a high-floor, solid player who is well covered at this point.     I strategically put Lucas right behind Casey in both the position and overall ranking, because I see them so similarly and close. I have said it before, Lucas has always seemed really mature physically for his age and is just another step ahead of other backs in the class. He is big, physical, and can grind down defenses. He can create his own yards, but will be best as a one-cut, bowling ball-style back.     Cunningham popped on my radar just weeks before the 2028 rankings update, and he flashed enough on tape for me to consider him a top 50 player in the state. He is a long, lean, crisp player who can work each level of the field. He is a long strider who deceives DBs well. I am impressed with his focus and body control when playing the ball. He is a smooth , high-floor player who should break out this fall.     Johnson is a pretty well-covered player for us, and maintains status as a top WR recruit in AL in this rankings update. He is an extremely explosive athlete with some of the best suddenness in the class, quickly finding his top gear. This helps him make plays in space, and also enables him to eat cushion and set up opportunities for himself underneath. Johnson is a three-level playmaker.     Walton rounds out our top 50 as the 8th WR listed. He is one of my favorite sub-6'0 receivers in the state and plays with perfect compensators. He is an explosive player with a low center of gravity, quickly finding his top speed and proving capable of separating both with and without the ball. He has fiery footwork at the POA, which he uses to deceive and overwhelm corners. Walton can get and stay open, which is where the intrigue is set here.
