Jackson was being heavily recruited in recent weeks with offers from Delaware State and Ferrum University in fold. You can see that Coach Vick has his staff attacking Northern Virginia thoroughly, I would not be surprised if he lands more prospects from this region.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/imtyjackson/status/1937598137167712547","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/imtyjackson/status/1937598137167712547 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297867"],"_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-685c3045c129e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Talk about a rise, West Springfield [player_tooltip player_id='1297867' first='Anthony' last='Bello'] continues his ascension and he committed to Monmouth University earlier this week.

He is being sought out by many FCS and Division 2 staples and Emory &amp; Henry College was the latest to over this big man. I will have this young man ranked when I update the 2026 class in early July, he is too big and talented not too.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Chris_Layman8/status/1937613596877259224","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Chris_Layman8/status/1937613596877259224 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1297967"],"_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-685c3372cd6a6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Defensive end [player_tooltip player_id='1297967' first='Alex' last='Reyes'] is a 6'3 245 beast of a pass rusher, he too received an offer from Emory &amp; Henry yesterday. That makes about around 4 offers total for Reyes I believe, personally I could see him lining up at Division 2 level sooner than most incoming freshmen. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/thealexreyes_/status/1937615263291310464","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/thealexreyes_/status/1937615263291310464 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2027s:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>While Oakton's dynamic combo of [player_tooltip player_id='1312051' first='Jack' last='Martin'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1311677' first='Deylen' last='Jones'] do not have any offers yet, I expect that to change before week 1. We have both ranked in our top 300 and both prospects have made significant strides this off-season. [player_tooltip player_id='1311677' first='Deylen' last='Jones'] is a specimen at both receiver and safety for the Cougars while Martin is FCS level graded quarterback. Unity Reed's [player_tooltip player_id='1206167' first='IIan' last='Ervin'] has two FBS offers and should obtain a few more before his junior year. Finally Flint Hill's [player_tooltip player_id='1313576' first='Rudi' last='Ernst'] is a stud I am surprised their isn't more hype around him, he is a 6'4 athletic defensive lineman for the Huskies. Ranking 131st overall, Ernst deserves your attention. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">2028s:</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Three prospects from our soon to be sophomores already have offers out of this group. Osbourn's [player_tooltip player_id='1422269' first='Anthony' last='Jackson'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1639052' first='Caleb' last='Smoot'] will debut high in this class revealing later this week, expect them both to be in our top ten. Oakton's Colin Henriques is a speedster, I watched him sneak behind Chantilly's secondary late in the 2024 season so I can attest. He just picked up an offer from Maryland a couple weeks back, he will be highly ranked as well. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
