2027 Shady Spring LB Blake Snodgrass earned a bump in the rankings after updated film and growing college interest provided a clearer picture of his long-term projection.

closed his junior season at Shady Spring with real momentum and now sits inside the Top 100 of the 2027 rankings after showing clear development over the past year. The 6’2 athlete flashed his potential earlier in his career, but this season, he began to turn that promise into production, particularly at running back, where his available highlights show a player who runs with confidence and physicality. Long term, his projection still leans toward linebacker, where his length, frame, and athletic traits fit naturally at the position. The next step will be continuing to add strength and rounding out the defensive side of his profile so his film matches the physical tools. If that development continues, Snodgrass has the build and movement ability to climb higher in the 2027 linebacker conversation as he moves through his senior year.

. He flashed potential as a sophomore last season and took a big step forward for the Tigers in his junior year, especially at running back. Snodgrass only has offensive highlights available right now from this past season, but look for him to be recruited as a linebacker with the frame and athleticism that should excite college programs.

. They are of similar molds as long and athletic players with a lot of potential as prospects. If Snodgrass can keep adding size to his 6’2 frame, he’ll be one of the better linebacker prospects in the 2027 class and will likely debut in the rankings after his junior season.
