MD 2030 Rankings: Top 5 Breakdown

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first 2030 MD rankings just released and I take a look at the Top 5 overall prospects. I have seen 4 of the Top 5 live in game and breakdown their skill set and why they earned their ranking.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2392298"],"_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-6abe9b1d1e521"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Takings the #1 overall spot Jamir has made plays for McDonogh on both sides of the ball this season giving him the ATH label, but he has really impressed me at DB. I saw Jamir live earlier this year in their game vs Haverford (PA) and he big time INT in the end zone right before half, taking points away from the opponent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">On the hoof he passes the eye ball test. Showcases a good feel for the game and excellent instincts. He is quick to diagnose and attack. Will run the alley and throw his body into the tackle. In coverage Jamir displays fluid smooth hips, smooth stride and just looks natural out there for him. Knows how to put himself n position to make the play, shows good eyes and ball skills. That translates on offensive as well which is why he has added to the McDonogh passing game and is a weapon in the slot. Jamir already holds two P4 Offers and I don't see how that number doesn't go up this fall if he continues this level of play. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">First 4 Varsity games in the books!<br>-2 interceptions<br>-1 pbu<br>-10 tot, 6 solo, 4 assisted<br>-109 yards<br>-8 receptions<br>-1 TD<a href="https://x.com/McDCoachSule?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@McDCoachSule</a> <a href="https://x.com/McDonoghFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@McDonoghFB</a> <a href="https://x.com/247Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247Sports</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzoneMD?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzoneMD</a> <a href="https://x.com/PrepRedzone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzone</a> <a href="https://x.com/tdhald?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@tdhald</a> <a href="https://x.com/EdOBrienCFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdOBrienCFB</a> <a href="https://t.co/Jncqf80DbU">pic.twitter.com/Jncqf80DbU</a></p>&mdash; Jamir “J1” Greene (@jamir_greene1) <a href="https://x.com/jamir_greene1/status/2101544240824062100?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 20, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2164987"],"_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-6abe9b1d1e5a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Noah comes in as the #1 WR to go along with #2 ranking and top player from DC. He has nice size for a freshman WR, standing all of 6'2" with solid length &amp; frame. Noah is a WR capable of getting a nice release of the snap. With a long smooth gliding stride, he eats up space and get on DBs toes in limited steps. Noah also showcases a big catch radius &amp; strong hands. A vertical threat he goes up and high points the ball over the defenders head to make big catches. I saw him in person earlier this year in SJC's big win over Spalding (MD) and Noah had a big key reception for the Cadets. Pressing the DB and getting over top of him, and then making a tough over the shoulder catch showing good tracking &amp; ball skills. With a nose for the end zone as well and is a great red zone threat, Noah uses his size/length/athleticism to make big plays. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Already holding a handful of P4 offers, including LSU, Auburn, MD. If Noah continues to develop his route running and can post a good 40 time at camps in the future, he has the potential to be a National Recruit with his skill set.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Week 5️⃣ vs St. Edward (Ohio)⏰<br><br>Weeks 1-4 🎞️⬇️<a href="https://t.co/lV4SU64F61">https://t.co/lV4SU64F61</a> <a href="https://t.co/lLGa1f8sUP">pic.twitter.com/lLGa1f8sUP</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='2164987' first='Noah' last='Manning'] (@noahmanning_5) <a href="https://x.com/noahmanning_5/status/2102524842541269341?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 22, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2420479"],"_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-6abe9b1d1e638"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">LeVar comes in as the #1 DB and is a CB with prototype size and length. Standing 6'2" with and elite wingspan. Showcasing real snappy and twitchy hips to go along with quick feet. LeVar is able to change direction and turn &amp; run with WRs with no loss of speed or momentum. He shows the ability to lock down WRs and play straight man to man while staying hip to hip down the field, running the route and staying in phase. LeVar also posses disciplined eyes. Seeing the play develop in front of him and putting himself in position to make the play. While also seeing the ball in the air well to go get it for PBUs and INTs. Holding a handful of offers already including ones from the likes of Florida, Oregon, and UMD it is no surprise LeVar is a top prospect in the 2030 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Almost dat time <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/year1?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#year1</a> <a href="https://t.co/MwVbh849On">pic.twitter.com/MwVbh849On</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='2420479' first='LeVar' last='McGuire'] (@sbg_varrr) <a href="https://x.com/sbg_varrr/status/2087327542600413553?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 11, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1257601"],"_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-6abe9b1d1e690"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Raymond comes in #4 overall and the #2 WR in the 2030 rankings debut and is the #1 WR in the state of MD. He is leading all 2030 MD WRs in reception yards so far this season as well. I got to see him live earlier this season and he immediately stood out in warm ups. Possessing a nice tall &amp; long frame with good length in his arms, he easily passes the eye ball test for a young WR prospect. Raymond showcase impressive speed and burst after the catch. He put that skills set on display the other week when he took a short hitch route, turned up field and raced down the sideline out running the defense to take it 84yds for the score. He's got natural hands, routinely catching the ball away from his body &amp; uses his length to reach out and meet it in air. Raymond is also a sharp route runner and physical WR. He can get himself open and then break tackles for big YAC. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A versatile do it all WR with a great overall skill set Raymond has high potential as a prospect and should continue to battle for the #1 WR spot in future rankings. Colleges feel the same as Raymond already holds offers from Notre Dame and PSU with plenty of interest from others. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">84 yard touchdown against St.Marys!💪🏾💯 <a href="https://x.com/McDonoghFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@McDonoghFB</a> <a href="https://x.com/McDCoachSule?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@McDCoachSule</a> <a href="https://x.com/WRU_CoachMilez?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WRU_CoachMilez</a> <a href="https://x.com/TomLoy247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TomLoy247</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/AGTG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AGTG</a> <a href="https://x.com/hashtag/Blessed?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Blessed</a> <a href="https://t.co/8nxOyTNgMp">pic.twitter.com/8nxOyTNgMp</a></p>&mdash; Raymond “Bluray” Queen Iv (@RayQueen_2030) <a href="https://x.com/RayQueen_2030/status/2104232098835890190?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 27, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2420484"],"_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-6abe9b1d1e703"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lacardo earns the #5 overall spot in the debut 2030 MD rankings and is the #3 overall WR in what is shaping up to be a loaded WR class. I have been able to see Lacardo live in person multiple times since last spring and he has impressed every time. A long, lean, athletic wide receiver. He can get down field and make difficult catches and win 50/50 balls. Lacardo possesses a big catch radius and leaping ability to go up and get it. A strong route runner for a freshman. Lacardo gets a good release off the LOS, pushes &amp; stems well and makes smooth breaks. Uses his body movement well to get DB on his heels and create separation. A smooth runner after the catch he can get some good YAC. Lacardo currently hold no offers but colleges will certainly be seeing him this winter and spring and making him a high priority 2030 prospect.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Great game last night 1td 108 yards 1pick #2030 varsity <a href="https://t.co/qkSWgwB5KN">pic.twitter.com/qkSWgwB5KN</a></p>&mdash; La&#039;cardo Banks (@LacardoB37082) <a href="https://x.com/LacardoB37082/status/2101376888421622185?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 19, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
