5’11, 165. Put forth incredible freshman tape after his first year at Trinity Episcopal School, a program that’s a part of the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association, away from the VHSA. Leads all 2027 Virginia prospects in terms of recruiting heat, Rainer has over 20+ offers to date. The likes of Michigan State, Penn State, USC, and Duke are all lining up to attempt to build something early with a young man who reminds me a ton of PA’s top 2027 prospect, Larry Moon.

Tape begins with Rainer showing off his ability to collapse on his zone and make open-field tackles. A good blend of 1v1s, mixed in are block shedding reps that display just how nasty a tackler Rainer can be. A ton of tone-setting energy exhausted, kid has juice to his game outside of coverage skills. Has experience playing on an island, first coverage rep has Rainer playing man/press. Awesome balance through contact, great use of his inside-hand to stab and force leverage outside. I don’t see too many freshmen with bump-and-run capabilities like this. Has a natural feel for playing off-coverage, can break on the football without having to keep eyes on the quarterback. I have to pump the breaks a bit but the young man almost looks college-ready after his first tape. Likely not ready for Big10/SEC ball of course, but Rainer is way ahead of the curve in terms of technique and feel. A ton of Rainer’s tape showcases his edge-setting capabilities in run support, I bet there are potential suitors who are waiting to see more coverage reps once his sophomore tape releases, despite a good chunk of coverage reps scattered throughout his four-minute tape. Would love a chance to see this DB in person this Fall.

Our number 1 overall prospect is future Power 5 cornerback Trinity Episcopal’s Khalid Rainer Khalid Rainer 6'0" | 180 lbs | DB Trinity Episcopal | 2027 State VA . In a follow of NFL talent the younger Rainer is next in line and is already making an impact on the field with last season’s second team all state selection.

Playing in the VISAA which has division 1 athletes across the conference, Rainer is a fierce tackler, is impossible to block and by the way is a lockdown corner at age 15. Already obtaining offers across the country from USC, Virginia Tech, Hampton and most recently with Michigan State, like his father and older brother you’ll see this kid on Saturdays very soon.
