Expert Analysis
Matt Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
A stock riser in our recent 2026 rankings update was Parkersburg South DB Derek Sandy Derek Sandy 5'8" | 175 lbs | DB Parkersburg South | 2026 State WV . He had a phenomenal junior season for the Patriots and will be one of the better run-stopping safeties in the state again this season. Sandy is deserving of D2 looks this fall.
Here’s what we recently said about Joyce in our 2026 Rankings Stock Risers article:
“We also got to see 2026 Parkersburg South DB Derek Sandy Derek Sandy 5'8" | 175 lbs | DB Parkersburg South | 2026 State WV at our PRZ Combine Series camp earlier this year, where he impressed. He’s another safety prospect who is continuing to develop in coverage, but is an excellent run-stopper. Seeing him in person, Sandy is physically impressive for his size with a wrestling background as well, which is apparent in his style of play and physical build. He posted his first offer from D3 Mount St.-Joseph, but is worthy of D2 looks in our eyes as a highly productive player for the Patriots.”
