He is an athletic OLB who can rush off the edge or play off ball in space. With a nice quick first step, Aubrey closes on the ball with force &amp; will lay a hit. He is capable of moving well laterally and coming fast in a straight-line. Aubreypossesses a nice frame, can see him filling out and carrying up to ~210-220lb range in the future. A high academic prospect as well, don't be shocked to see Aubrey have a stand out junior campaign and getting on plenty of college boards. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sophomore Season <br>75 Tackles <br>33 Solo<br>10 TFL&#039;s<br>4 Sacks<br>1 int<br>3 Forced Fumbles<a href="https://t.co/YPcPnfjITd">https://t.co/YPcPnfjITd</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='2147236' first='Aubrey' last='Cole'] | 2028 Hybrid LB | 6'1 190 (@Aubrey_Cole11) <a href="https://twitter.com/Aubrey_Cole11/status/1989825734836183315?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 15, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1506855"],"_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-69fba75d03794"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Amir is a prospect on the rise mainly due to his impressive track times this spring, which he translates on to the field regularly. He runs a sub 11 100m putting up a time of 10.90 early this spring in track season. With legit speed that continues to improve he will continue to garner interest from colleges. Holding 5 total offers already, Amir picked up a New Hampshire this recent week. With his athleticism, speed and work ethic expect more schools to getting offers to Amir this spring &amp; summer as he gets to summer camps after track season ends.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Big PR this week 21.91 and 10.90 AGTG🙏🏽🙏🏽 <a href="https://t.co/KYGw4dgTxB">pic.twitter.com/KYGw4dgTxB</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1506855' first='Amir' last='Belton'] (@amirbelton2028) <a href="https://twitter.com/amirbelton2028/status/2052211899043827755?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 7, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2160224"],"_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-69fba75d03960"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Wyatt is certainly a player on the rise and still and under the radar prospect college needs to start taking notice off. Started all year on varsity as a freshman, Wyatt is poised to be a top DB in the SMAC next fall. He is real smooth, fluid, and explosive in his back pedal / transitions. Wyatt posses oily hips and shows the ability to plays the bal well in the air. He knows how to use the sideline to his advantage and is strong in press coverage. Wyatt has the size to develop into a standout DB and continue to rise up rankings and be a player garnering offers this time next year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshman season film <a href="https://t.co/cFVfg5Titr">pic.twitter.com/cFVfg5Titr</a></p>&mdash; Wyatt Posey (@Wyatt_theone) <a href="https://twitter.com/Wyatt_theone/status/2015259511527788615?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 25, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1406422"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2203884,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-69fba75d0384c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brendyne is a prospect I saw back in early April and immiediately stood out as a prospect with a strong future. A nice overall athlete for his size, Brendyne is a basketball player who can dunk and moves very well. He carries his weight nicely, I can see him adding nice muscle and looking the part at 270-280lbs in time.  Runs on his toes, with good COD and fluid hips, he can run all over the field to the ball. Won't be surprised to see him get time on both sides of the line for Salesianum, but think he will make his money at DL in the future. This May Brendyne has already picked up offers from Temple, UMD, Boston College, and Cuse. Thus proving why Brendyne is a prospect on the rise this Spring and will make a strong debut in the next rankings update. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I'm 6'6 freshmen C'O 2029 at Salesianum high school <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDelleDonne?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDelleDonne</a> is my head coaches any questions you have you email him I also play 2 sports basketball &amp; football <a href="https://t.co/5yuIGD61zi">pic.twitter.com/5yuIGD61zi</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1406422' first='Brendyne' last='Newman'] (@b1g_brenn) <a href="https://twitter.com/b1g_brenn/status/2023818189034188987?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 17, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1699106"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2210743,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","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-6a0a4e2ed3342"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Israel has had a strong spring showing garnering offers South Carolina, Syracuse and Rhode Island. As a 2028 prospect who had a strong showing this past fall in a loaded SJC defensive backfield, Israel looks to take the next step up to being a lockdown player for them this fall. A prototype size for todays DB, Israel stands 6'1" with a built out frame. A versatile DB, Israel provides scheme flexibility as he can line up at FS,CB, and the over hang spot. He shows nice physicality in both his coverage and tackling ability. Israel also displays strong ball skills and a big catch radius, able to attack the pass from multiple angles. I expect a big time junior year from Israel and for him to continue to rise up in rankings &amp; in the eyes of college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/OEDKJ7BbC7">https://t.co/OEDKJ7BbC7</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeWard71?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MikeWard71</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachbyrd75?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachbyrd75</a> Sophomore year film !!</p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1699106' first='Israel' last='Woods-Deandrade'] (@IsraelWoods28) <a href="https://twitter.com/IsraelWoods28/status/2047698858025574491?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 24, 2026</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Part 2 of looking at 2028-2029 prospects who are heating up, standing out and who have caught my eye in recent weeks. These are players who look to be moving up in the next rankings update as well as moving up colleges boards for the future.
