Expert Analysis
Austin Butler | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the best linebackers in the entire Nation in the class of 2029. Ragland is one of those talents that plays early in their high school careers and word has it that Ragland looks very fitting against varsity starters so far during spring practice. Yesterday was day 1 for the Wolves and Ragland looked every bit of poised and ready to make an impact at the high school level now. It will be interesting to see how he progresses throughout spring and summer into fall.

is a guy who is considered one of the best athletes in Georgia in the 2029 class, but he’s more than that. He’s one of the best in the 2029 class in the Nation. His ability to dominate at running back and linebacker is as special as it gets. He is a pure athlete! The important thing is, Ragland is a team player and he’s team first which is a big reason him and his team are state champs.

. Ragland is arguably the best linebacker in the Nation in this 2029 class and as a running back, he’s arguably just as good! He’s expected to be a player who gets to see the field come friday nights as a freshman also for the Wolves. He’s certainly one of the ones to watch for.

Arguably the best linebacker in the 2029 class, Ragland out of Rome is a tremendous player. He’s been compared to a young Ray Lewis at the LB spot by coaches. He’s been said to be the best running back on the team and arguably in the state of the 2029 class. At LB he’s been physical, fast and smart. Hearing coaches talk about him being a big-time leader on top of being such a dominate player is a combination for great success. He happens to have tremendous size and can really move well with that. I am hearing he could end up being a starter on Varsity in his freshman year if all continues to go as planned. He’s one to see moving forward.

Big time talent here at the linebacker spot. One of the best in the Nation in the 2029 class, Ragland makes his presence felt every single play making him a force to be reckoned with on the gridiron.

Ragland is another talented prospect who I believe is going to burst onto the scene pretty early on in his high school career and he’s a player who has potential to be one of the best generational talents to come through the Peach State in this 2029 class.

Ragland is clearly a star at the linebacker position. However, a staff member told me that he was arguably their best running back because he is a complete stud and natural at the RB spot. He’s a star on both sides of the ball and the team runs through Ragland.

Ragland is not only a tremendous football player but his leadership skills are also off the charts. He holds a high standard and accountability not only for his teammates but himself as well. The coaching staff says that the team runs through Ragland and that alone tells me a lot about his leadership and the fact that he puts his teammates first. Leadership goes a long way not just in athletics but it leads to life!

Ragland is special. We touch on Ragland a good bit here but it’s for good reason. Talking with coaches at Rome, Ragland isn’t just the heartbeat of the Wolves defense but he’s considered the heartbeat of this entire 2029 group. His leadership and his dominance in his game play. Ragland was a huge part of them winning the state title and he’s a huge piece of this star studded defense.

Ragland is a very dominate player who I have said to many people on many occasions that he will get a good bit of playing time as a freshman on the varsity level. Ragland will be a big splash type of guy early on for many reasons. He’s big, physical, very smart and has a mixture of speed and power to go along with it.
