Julian Caldwell is one of the most talented receivers in the 2027 class 🔥 @JulianCaldwell_ . He flashed his skills at UA Next Camp this past spring. Expect a big junior season ahead for the top-10 ranked wideout at Argyle High School in Texas.

Second-year breakout candidate: Miami WR Joshisa Trader. Trader finished last year strong with three catches for 61 yards and a TD in the Pop-Tarts Bowl. We expect the former 5-star will build off that momentum in a big year two for Miami.

Second-year breakout candidate: Georgia CB Ellis Robinson IV. The No. 1 overall prospect in the 2024 ESPN 300 is poised to emerged in year two with the Bulldogs. Elite blend of length, speed, and ball skills. His talent will breakthrough.

Second-year breakout candidate: Michigan RB Jordan Marshall. We got a glimpse of Marshall’s ability in the ReliaQuest Bowl when he ran for 100 yards in his first career start. We believe the former Ohio Mr. Football will make a major splash in year two.

Second-year breakout candidate: Ohio State QB Julian Sayin. Sayin was the No. 2 QB in the 2024 rankings out of high school. He’s got the tools, poise, and elite receiving core around him to make a massive jump in year two.
