2027 Rankings Update Preview

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2027 Rankings Update is set for release. This time around, it's a lighter update and will include 104 ranked players, 32 New Additions, and around 71 additional players on our Watch List. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>This lighter update will be followed by an expected massive update in February. For now, we have a good top 104, all with legitimate college upside. Most of these ranked players have had good Varsity seasons as sophomores. However, as we know, most D2-NAIA recruiting happens immediately after a prospect's junior season. Therefore, the 2025 offseason may be the most important for the class of 2027. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Now, here's a little preview of our New Additions, Risers, and more.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Rankings Risers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block
