New E
, a reclassifying transfer who moved from the C/O 2028 group into Kent School for the fall of 2026, is a long, rangy defensive back at 6’2”, 190 pounds with strong coverage upside. Garner shows natural instincts as an over-the-top safety, consistently reading the quarterback and tracking the ball well in the air. His length allows him to cover a large amount of ground in deep zones, and he projects as a high-level Cover 1 safety who can erase vertical threats and provide strong backside support.
Garner also shows valuable versatility, with the ability to slide down and match up as an outside corner in man coverage, especially in red zone situations where his length becomes a major advantage. He can mirror receivers effectively and compete at the catch point, making him a reliable coverage piece in multiple alignments. While his pass coverage skills are already advanced for his stage, continuing to develop his run support and physical tackling consistency will be important to rounding out his game. Improving in that area will help him become a more complete, every-down defensive back at the next level.

New E
, a 2028 prospect from Kent School in Connecticut within the New England region, stands out as a promising athlete on the rise, measuring 6’1″ and 165 pounds. Although he’s currently receiving varsity playing time with limited film available (as of October 20, 2024), his potential is evident. He is positioned at WR and DB for his team, and that is why we have his recruitment position identified as an athlete. Garner is showcasing his growing recruitment appeal, which includes early interest from several Division II and III programs.
With verified measurables that highlight his athleticism—such as a 32-inch vertical, a 9’4 broad jump, a swift 4.31 shuttle, a 7.5 L drill, and a respectable 40-yard dash time of 4.9—Garner has displayed the foundational skills necessary for success. In a recent film review of his highlight reel, he demonstrated a good understanding of defensive back responsibilities, showcasing his ability to read zone coverages and exhibiting ball-hawking instincts. There’s room for him to enhance his physicality and aggressiveness on the field, and I believe he can elevate his game significantly with further development of his foot quickness. Garner also plays WR and has clips of him being a very effective blocker on the perimeter. I look forward to viewing him in a live performance setting to evaluate his overall WR-catching abilities. As we look toward his future, confirming his updated height and weight is essential, as this will play a crucial role in shaping his recruitment trajectory. Overall,

Not a reclass, post-grad, or transfer here but still potentially newsworthy.

New E
, a middle schooler who frequents our PRZ Next camps, announced he’ll be continuing his young football career at the Kent School. I won’t be getting into any part of his game here, I’ll leave real analysis and evaluations until after I see a freshman tape out of him, hopefully, this time next year. We are months away from officially being able to cover 2028s across the network. When that time comes,

returned for another Prep Redzone Next Middle School Camp this past weekend and he had a nice showing. Garner is a longer kid that looks like he could be a very good option at Safety over the next four years, at whichever high school he chooses to attend–he has options. The improvement in his overall athleticism is what jumped out to me the most. He did well at camp last year but there was some stiffness to the way he moved around the field, but he certainly seems to have smoothed that out. For proof of that, look no further than consecutive 4.31’s in the shuttle.
