Barima Archapong is a skilled athlete who competes at a high level. At the showcase, he did an excellent job and earned a 2nd team selection. He has superior athletic ability. This allows him to play well in space as an outside linebacker. He is currently not ranked in the 2027 class, but after this showcase, he deserves to be ranked. He is that talented.

, a Class of 2027 outside linebacker from Wilson High School (West Lawn), showed well at the PRZPA Stock Up Showcase. Archampong displayed a strong change-of-direction ability throughout linebacker-specific drills. He moved efficiently without wasted steps, allowing him to transition smoothly in space. His closing speed and overall range stood out, as he consistently covered ground sideline to sideline. Archampong showed the ability to close space quickly and limit potential big plays with running backs in the open field. His active feet and balance were evident, as he consistently played on his toes and stayed ready to react. He demonstrated good body control when asked to redirect or mirror movement. His agility and functional strength translated well across multiple drills. Overall, Archampong’s athletic profile projects well for continued development as an outside linebacker at the next level.

Read EvaluationVic Castillo | Prep Redzone Scout
- 6’3.5, 220 pounds. Is a serious basketball player at Wilson. Self-reports a 3.7 GPA. Self-reports a 4.68 40-yard dash. TE/EDGE prospect, PF on the court. A new name on our lists.
- Has three single-games available to watch on Hudl, a lengthy tape that I took a peek into against Cheltenham is what caught my attention. Scrimmage and in-game reps to be had, Archampong exudes raw talent. Combining the Wilson juniors’ build and early-season tape, you can tell there’s a prospect to unlock beneath the flaws. Cheltenham tape shows you Archampong creating pressure off the edge in what looks like a traditional 3-4 front. Vast improvement can be made in several areas, yet I’m excited to see the lengthy EDGE rusher work his way around experienced tackles. Equally excited to see his full junior season tape. Only then will I be able to accurately evaluate him alongside his 2027 peers.

is a good athlete in the 2027 class, who has limited film from last year. He plays as a tight end, and he has the skills to develop into a good tight end. In his film, you see the ability to run routes and catch the ball well. He also does a solid job blocking on the edge. Archampong has a chance to eventually make an impact for Wilson, and it would not surprise me if he is a breakout player this year as a tight end opposite the other talented tight end,
