📈 Class of 2029 — INSTANT IMPACT FRESHMEN 💥
It’s that time of year! We’re circling back on our RNR Top 100 Class of 2029 8th Grade Rankings to see who’s already making varsity noise as freshmen.
Here’s our 1st Round of Instant Impact Freshmen who’ve hit the ground running this fall — not just making rosters, but producing.
🔥 Quarterbacks Leading Early:
• C.J. Cypher (Carrollton Trojans, GA) — poised and producing at the varsity level.
• Marcus Washington Jr. (Cajon Sr. High, CA) — the Cali sleeper is back from injury healthy for his freshman campaign and his stock is exploding as he puts up Super Freshmen numbers.
💪 Backfield Playmakers:
• Makai Buchanan (Victor Valley, CA) — our #1 ranked RB is proving he’s one of the best all-around athletes in the class.
• Zach Watts (G.W. Carver, GA) — a home run threat every touch, stats to back it up.
• Gabe Kemp (Red Bank Catholic, NJ) — on pace to break the freshman rushing record, household name status.
• Edmund McAllister (Pickerington Central, OH) — total package at RB, performing like a senior.
🧱 Trench Talk — The Big Men Up Front:
• Colin Itule (Brophy College Prep, AZ) — strong, disciplined, and growing into a cornerstone tackle.
• Damian Armenta (Mater Dei, CA) — size, power, and polish… 5⭐️ potential written all over him.
⚡️ Defensive Standout:
• Victor Latimore (Mater Academy, FL) — turnover machine and leading tackler, true freshman impact.
And this is just ROUND ONE… more freshmen standouts will be spotlighted nationwide as the season unfolds.
