Mason Norberg, Folsom HS
Norberg is one of the many talented prospects on the Folsom squad from the 2023 and 2024 class. Already holding an offer from SJSU, he will have multiple FBS offers by the time it’s all said and done. Part of a loaded tight end room for the Bulldogs, Norberg has ideal size for his age for the division I level and will only continue to physically grow and develop. Used mostly in the slot, he has a nice initial burst off the line and strong hands when making contested catches while also playing with good toughness and running through contact after the catch. He also shows he can catch the ball from multiple different angles and adjusts well to it in the air.
Jalen Kennedy, Pleasant Grove HS
Kennedy is an explosive receiver that can make an impact at the next level. Working mostly from the slot, he can stretch the field up the seem and is effective in the screen/sweep game due to yards after catch ability and initial acceleration and open field speed. Able to sink his hips in and out of his breaks while snatching the ball in the air, he is a versatile player that will continue to be one of the top 2023 wide receivers in the Sacramento area.
Tremell Miles, Pleasant Grove HS
Miles is a very intriguing prospect that can play multiple positions at the next level and possesses a huge upside due to length, size and athletic ability. Having a big wing span, he is a long strider that covers a ton of ground and does a good job at winning contested catches on 50/50 balls with nice high point ability and body position. Due to his natural length and range, he could possibly see himself as a DPR guy at the next level as well.
Dubee Lopa Dubee Lopa 5'10" | 195 lbs | LB Grant - Sacramento | 2023 CA , Grant HS
Lopa is a physical and downhill playmaker that plays at a high level from his linebacker position and is versatile on the defensive side of the ball. A good overall athlete with natural instincts, he is a strong tackler with nice closing speed/lateral movement ability in the box while also athletic enough to cover in the short area and backs out of the backfield. He flows well to plays and is a high motor prospect that will be one of the top linebackers in the region for the next two years.
Kyrell Goss-Pruitt Kyrell Goss-Pruitt 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Grant - Sacramento | 2023 State CA , Grant HS
A two-way dominant player for the Pacers, Goss-Puritt is a natural pass catcher with good long speed and strong vertical route running ability up the middle. Attacking balls in the air while not afraid to go up and make catches in traffic, he has good lower body strength and can break arm/ankle tackles in space while also able to make tacklers miss and force poor angles.
Kai Nunley, Vacaville Christian HS
Nunley is one of the top backs across Northern California in a loaded 2023 class for the position. A physical and downhill runner, he hits the hole in a hurry and shows good contact balance, natural forward lean and runs behind his pads upon contact. Also possessing sneaky open field speed, he is a balanced back that can also adjust and catch the ball out of the backfield when needed. He has next level abilities and should start to see his stock rise through his Junior season.
