Top Five 2022 Athletes

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Many of the top players in the class of 2022 entered their junior seasons as underrated players with little attention coming their way. Every player listed in the rankings made the best of their shortened season, earning their way under the spotlight and being selected as the top in their positions.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">This senior class has quite a few talented athletes with serious college potential. In fact, two of the players listed have already committed to Division I universities. Every player on this list has next level talent written all over them.</span> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22673" first="Anthony" last="Costanzo"] | Palmer Ridge | 6’3”, 210lbs</b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Costanzo has been considered as one of the state’s top athletes for quite some time now. He has excellent mobility and speed for a player his size, making him a serious threat on both sides of the ball. His length, awareness, and athleticism allow for him to track the ball in the air and make unstoppable plays as a safety and a wide receiver. Costanzo recently announced his commitment to UNLV.</span> <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/6007950/5fdff4e0b3d27c10f47b9093’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/6007950/5fdff4e0b3d27c10f47b9093" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22702" first="Dominick" last="Nichols"] | Pomona | 5’11, 175lbs</b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Nichols is arguably one of the most underrated athletes in the state. He has shown serious potential as a shifty three-down running back, a secondary-torching slot receiver, and a ball-hawking defensive back. Nichols consistently raises his stock value by embodying the front-and-center type of player who grabs the attention of college coaches at camps.</span> <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12867434/5fc92307688ec9040c6b8cd1’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/12867434/5fc92307688ec9040c6b8cd1" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22691" first="Dallas" last="Macias"] | Regis Jesuit | 6’0”, 180lbs</b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Macias is a top athlete in football and baseball. He is a speedy safety who possesses great field awareness and strength that enable him to effectively pursue ball carriers and deliver punishing hits. His athleticism and vision make him extremely dangerous when the ball is in his hands as a returner and a receiver. Early in his sophomore year, Macias announced his verbal commitment to Oregon State for baseball.</span> <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11990066/5fb199eb15f5f00a8c463660’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11990066/5fb199eb15f5f00a8c463660" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="58934" first="Eli" last="Hubert"] | Silver Creek | 5’10”, 170lbs</b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Hubert is a shifty athlete with deceptive speed that makes him a dangerous returner and wide receiver. He has the ability to run past the secondary on fade routes and run through the defense on underneath routes. Hubert is an under-the-radar type of player with serious upside to his stock value.</span> <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11875896/5fc2e9b0ab9d350b80b9f0d8’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11875896/5fc2e9b0ab9d350b80b9f0d8" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a> <span style="font-size: 14pt;"><b>[player_tooltip player_id="22713" first="Cash" last="Cheeks"] | Mesa Ridge | 6’5”, 185lbs</b></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Cheeks is a do-all Swiss Army Knife athlete that is as rare as they come. He has shown his talents at the quarterback position, as well as receiver and defensive back. As a receiver, Cheeks is the ideal target for any offensive scheme looking to stretch the defense downfield.</span> <a href="http://iframe%20src=’//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11040033/5fcafbdbd45f8106442698e2’%20width=’640’%20height=’360’%20frameborder=’0’%20allowfullscreen/iframe"><iframe src="//www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11040033/5fcafbdbd45f8106442698e2" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></a>
