Rankings Update: Big Risers in the Class of 2027

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Our Class of 2027 rankings were released last week, and several prospects made serious jumps in a positive direction as we reviewed junior tape, saw them in-person over the summer and continued to monitor them throughout fall camp. With the season kicking off today, we figured we would note our biggest movers and shakers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2071459"],"_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-6a85b498456a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chris Wilson is a very dynamic edge player for Yorktown, earning a top-10 spot by a hair. Big 6-foot-4 prospect is very disruptive on defense, knows how to rush the quarterback, takes great pursuit angles and is stout v. the run. Rare size-speed combination at 6-5, 235 pounds. Committed to West Virginia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2061077"],"_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-6a85b4984573b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">We had Errol Kerns ranked very low especially as a freshman, but ever since the 6-foot-0, 190-pound defensive back has bolstered right up to No. 16 in our rankings. Kerns has rare playmaking ability and athleticism. The Texas A&amp;M commit and top recruit is a high impact player for Lawrence Central</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1691879"],"_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-6a85b498457b6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strangely ranked lower than he should be on the national recruiting websites' rankings, Kaleb Elkins shoots up to No. 2 overall on our Class of 2027 rankings. Strong offseason at scrimmages and spring workouts has the Purdue commit fired up to help lead the Warriors to Lucas Oil Stadium. His rare closing speed, outstanding ball skills and top-shelf instincts.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2071369"],"_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-6a85b49845829"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nobody rose up quicker than Jeremiah Jones, a tall, lean offensive tackle from Michigan City. Jones, at 6-foot-6, 250 pounds, committed to Indiana and Curt Cignetti's staff. Very strong as both a run blocker and pass protector, his ceiling is through the roof.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1556815"],"_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-6a85b498458c7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wesley Summersett wow'd at college camps with his ball skills, size-speed combination, disruptiveness and competitiveness. Intangible qualities made him shoot up our list based on several in-person evaluations this past summer. Will the ability he flashed during college camps translate to the field? Our sources say the Bowling Green State commit has several Power 4 coaches interested heading into senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
