Here are the Round 2 Instant Impact Freshmen making noise early:
Ty Nolan – RB – McEachern Sr. High (GA)
Explosive, punishing, next-level frame. Nolan hit varsity running and the offers followed. Prototype RB.
Christian Marshall – WR – Brother Rice High (MI)
D-1 pedigree and early production. Marshall is showing he’s next in line for that elite recruit tag.
Kymani Nicholas – OL/DL – Bishop Verot Catholic (FL)
Rare athlete with major two-way upside. Raw but freakish. Dominant future OL/DL presence.
Lord Malik Heru – QB – Indian River Sr. High (VA)
Poised freshman passer making all the throws. No freshman jitters. Stock rising fast.
Ezrah Brown – QB – Lutheran Lancers (CA)
Winning DNA and big-time production. Brown’s instincts and arm talent show his ceiling is far from reached.
Sukora Cooper – WR – Life Oak Cliff Sr. High (TX)
Immediate mismatch. Physically advanced, skilled separator and playmaker. Former #1 DB showing WR dominance.
Ben McFadden – DL – Miami Carol City Sr. High (FL)
Youth-level athlete turned varsity-level force. Size + movement = massive upside.
Xzavier Corbin – ATH – Eau Gallie Sr. High (FL)
Touchdowns everywhere. Corbin is an all-purpose weapon and early X-Factor in the class.
Xavier Berry – OL – Cascade Christian Academy (WA)
Big, athletic, and technically sound. Berry carries all the tools of a future high-end OL recruit.
Demarcus Van D**e – CB – Carrollwood Day Academy (FL)
6’3, long, technical, and advanced. Van D**e is trending toward the top DB spot in 2029.
Darnell Lacy Jr. – DB – St. John Bosco (CA)
Elite bloodline + elite physical traits. Lacy Jr. is built for big-time football.
James Allen – CB – Carrollwood Day Academy (FL)
Length, size, and varsity production. Allen’s early flashes position him as a coveted 2029 DB.
Devin Smith – OL – Broken Arrow Sr. High (OK)
Strength, athleticism, and a mean streak. Smith has 5-star traits written everywhere.
Noah Tarrant – TE/ATH – Pebble Hill Sr. High (TX)
Hybrid matchup nightmare. Versatile, polished, and productive early.
Desmond Reeves – LB – St. Francis Academy (MD)
Height, size, IQ — varsity-ready. Reeves’ instincts separate him from most freshmen.
