He is a four-star recruit committed to playing for Kentucky in 2027. Has a quick break, with the ability to come hard downhill to make a good wrap-up tackle. Possesses a great understanding of leverage, giving him the upper hand on many reps against receivers. Miles has good enough ball skills to win reps at the catch point. Another bright spot is that he can bring value to his team as a returner, being an athletic playmaker who makes big plays happen. #1 Westview plays at Lausanne Collegiate Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605749"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab46375ade32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jordan is a 5'11, 185-pound defensive back out of Baylor School. The three-star recruit holds offers from Ole Miss, Ohio State, Kennesaw State, Georgia State, UT Martin, and Dartmouth. Jordan is very versatile, being able to play safety, corner, and nickel back for Baylor School. His wrap-up tackling is good; if he puts on another 10 to 15 pounds of muscle, it would be even better for the next level. #1 Baylor School plays Friday night versus #9 MBA. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["378857"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab46375adeae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hudson is a 6'0, 180-pound defensive back out of Riverdale. The three-star recruit is committed to playing for Mississippi State in 2027. Hudson already has a pick-six this season, showing off his ball skills and breakaway speed. His acceleration coming out of his break and going downhill is very impressive, making a play to break up the pass consistently. To add on, he is a hard hitter for someone his size; adding 10 to 20 pounds at safety will benefit him dearly. #5 Riverdale plays at #18 Columbia Central Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1103496"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab46375adf17"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Asa is a 6'0, 205-pound running back out of Westview. The three-star recruit is committed to playing for Tennessee in 2027. Outstanding vision and long speed are the first things you will notice about Barnes, along with being an absolute touchdown machine, totaling 31 touchdowns in his junior season. Barnes will bring Tennessee an efficient two-to-three-down back with real special teams value. #1 Westview plays at Lausanne Collegiate Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1370886"],"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ab46375adf64"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jaibriel is a 6'1, 195-pound running back / linebacker out of Whitehaven. He holds offers from UT Martin, Jackson State, SEMO, and Jax State. Special teams value immediately stands out; he has good but not elite long speed. Power back will best suit him at the next level; he looks for contact and will run you over given the chance. Along with his power, he does have the ability to make you miss, along with plus vision. Adding on 20 pounds of muscle will very much help him with his aggressive play style. Whitehaven plays at #25 Munford on Friday night. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
