Loia Valade, one of the top defensive backs in the class of 2027, is on the move. The standout prospect is transferring from McCallie High School in Chattanooga to Knoxville Catholic High School, according to Prep Redzone Tennessee’s Shayne Pickering.
A Prep Standout in 2025
In 2025 at McCallie, Valade emerged as a lockdown defensive back. He had 21 tackles, three passes defended, and two interceptions. He also made an impact on offense, hauling in 29 receptions for 456 yards and five touchdowns, cementing himself as a true two-way standout on the gridiron.
Valade is ranked as the No. 14 player in Tennessee and the No. 42 safety in the class of 2027 by 247Sports. He has eight offers, including three SEC schools: Arkansas, Kentucky, and in-state Vanderbilt. With a strong 2026 season, the offer list could grow significantly with Power-Four schools.
UPDATED 4/3/2026
THE IMPORTANCE OFTHE 40 YARD DASH FOR>>>> WR’S, LB’S, DB’S & RB’S<<<<
It is primarily run to evaluate the speed and acceleration of American football players by coaches and scouts particularly for the NFL Draft but also or collegiate recruiting. A player's recorded time for every position can have a heavy impact on his prospects in college or professional football.
FAIR - = 4.90 – 5.0+
FAIR = 4.8 - 4.89
GOOD = 4.7 - 4.79
FAST = 4.6 - 4.69
FAST! = 4.5 - 4.59
VERY FAST!! = 4.4 – 4.49
ELITE!!!! = 4.0 – 4.39 >>>4.36<<<
NOTE: IN MY EVAL’S, NOTICED HC FRAN BROWN’S OFFERS ARE IN THE 4.4 TO 4.6 RANGE AT THE RUNNING BACK, WIDE RECEIVER AND DEFENSIVE BACK POSITIONS. HOWEVER, HCFB’S COMMITMENT TO SPEED AT ALL POSITIONS IS BEING MAINTAINED GOING FORWARD.
