2022 Rankings Newcomers: Athletes

<em> Breaking down the athletes making waves on <a href="https://prepredzone.com/california/rankings/2022-rankings/">Prep Redzone’s 2022 CA Rankings</a>.</em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="186975" first="Donovan" last="Turner"]- <strong>Long Beach Poly</strong></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Turner is a versatile athlete who made plays in all three phases of the game for Long Beach Poly in the spring. He lined up at nickel, CB, RB, WR and made an impact on various special teams. He excels as a physical nickel/CB with solid coverage instincts and quick reactions/burst. Turner plays with a high motor and is an aggressive tackler. His size (6’1, 185 lbs.) and skillset project him as a nickel or CB at the next level with an offer from UNLV and additional interest from Nevada and Yale.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER 💥 <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/562sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@562sports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/247Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247Sports</a> @RyanWrightRNG <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachIrv_NAU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachIrv_NAU</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachGHardin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachGHardin</a> @Marcus_davis1 <a href="https://twitter.com/SAMIEPARKER?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SAMIEPARKER</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachTreW?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachTreW</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/premiumsportsla?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@premiumsportsla</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LBPoly_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LBPoly_Football</a> <a href="https://t.co/lPMusNnhns">pic.twitter.com/lPMusNnhns</a></p> — [player_tooltip player_id="186975" first="Donovan" last="Turner"] !

He’s a player that can make an impact at any position in the secondary. He shows great ball skills and closing speed in coverage. He’s a reliable tackler in run support and comfortable playing close to the LOS with lateral speed to tackle sideline-to-sideline. Given his versatility, Hancox projects as a FS or CB at the next level. He currently holds an offer from Hawaii with additional interest coming from Power 5 schools.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en"><a href="https://t.co/Citu0tqgga">https://t.co/Citu0tqgga</a> Check out my 5 game junior season highlights! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachPearson_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachPearson_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachL130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachL130</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Lonestarr18?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Lonestarr18</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJRich?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJRich</a></p> — [player_tooltip player_id="143136" first="Dajon" last="Hancox"] (@gmbdajon) <a href="https://twitter.com/gmbdajon/status/1385347898351570944?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2021</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltra%20href=https://t.co/Citu0tqggahttps://t.co/Citu0tqgga/a%20Check%20out%20my%205%20game%20junior%20season%20highlights!%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachPearson_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachPearson_/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/coachL130?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@coachL130/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/Lonestarr18?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@Lonestarr18/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@GregBiggins/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@BrandonHuffman/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachJRich?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachJRich/a/p—%20DaJon%20Hancox%20(@gmbdajon)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/gmbdajon/status/1385347898351570944?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwApril%2022,%202021/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="143118" first="Nico" last="Brown"]- <strong>Edison </strong></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Brown is a talented playmaker with the ball in his hands. He excelled as a slot receiver in the spring totaling 40 catches and 9 tds and being named the Sunset League Offensive POY. He has soft hands and the ability to catch in traffic over the middle or go up over defenders on deep routes. He shows great balance, strength, and speed running after the catch. Brown’s a true student-athlete with a 4.4 GPA and Ivy League offers from Dartmouth and Penn. Look for Brown to have another big season for Edison and potentially be a late-bloomer on the recruiting trail.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">JUNIOR SEASON HIGHLIGHTS<a href="https://t.co/B4JzEld1cO">https://t.co/B4JzEld1cO</a> 40 Receptions, 664 Receiving Yards (7th in State), 825 All Purpose Yards, 9TDs, 1 Int <a href="https://twitter.com/edisonfootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EdisonFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Zack_Poff_MP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Zack_Poff_MP</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/SteveFryer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@SteveFryer</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/alecsimpson5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@alecsimpson5</a></p> — [player_tooltip player_id="143118" first="Nico" last="Brown"] (@nico_brown4) <a href="https://twitter.com/nico_brown4/status/1384318419927932928?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 20, 2021</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrJUNIOR%20SEASON%20HIGHLIGHTSa%20href=https://t.co/B4JzEld1cOhttps://t.co/B4JzEld1cO/abr40%20Receptions,%20664%20Receiving%20Yards%20(7th%20in%20State),%20825%20All%20Purpose%20Yards,%209TDs,%201%20Int%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/edisonfootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@EdisonFootball/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@GregBiggins/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/Zack_Poff_MP?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@Zack_Poff_MP/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/SteveFryer?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@SteveFryer/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/alecsimpson5?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@alecsimpson5/a/p—%20Nico%20Brown%20(@nico_brown4)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/nico_brown4/status/1384318419927932928?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwApril%2020,%202021/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="187002" first="Kejaun" last="Bullard"]- <strong>San Pedro</strong></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Bullard is a versatile two-way athlete lining up at WR/DB. As a receiver, he shows an incredible catch radius with long arms and soft hands. He accelerates quickly off the line and shows great footwork/burst in and out of his cuts. His natural athleticism and body control will translate well at receiver in college. So far he’s picked up offers from Eastern Washington and Idaho.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Kejuan Bullard (2022) 6’2 180 Wr/Db/Ath San Pedro Hs, Los Angeles</p> Full Soring 21 highlights (2 scrimmages - 2 Games: <a href="https://t.co/x61jDv9IbR">https://t.co/x61jDv9IbR</a> <a href="https://t.co/jlPcOV6jTy">pic.twitter.com/jlPcOV6jTy</a> — Kejuan Bullard 22’ (@kejuan_da_don) <a href="https://twitter.com/kejuan_da_don/status/1389299588763316227?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 3, 2021</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrKejuan%20Bullard%20(2022)br6’2%20180%20Wr/Db/AthbrSan%20Pedro%20Hs,%20Los%20AngelesbrbrFull%20Soring%2021%20highlights%20(2%20scrimmages%20-%202%20Games:%20a%20href=https://t.co/x61jDv9IbRhttps://t.co/x61jDv9IbR/a%20a%20href=https://t.co/jlPcOV6jTypic.twitter.com/jlPcOV6jTy/a/p—%20Kejuan%20Bullard%2022’%20(@kejuan_da_don)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/kejuan_da_don/status/1389299588763316227?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwMay%203,%202021/a/blockquote%20script%20async%20src=https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js%20charset=utf-8/script"><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">[player_tooltip player_id="187003" first="Dwayne" last="McDougle"]- <strong>McClymonds </strong></span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">McDougle will be a standout in the McClymonds secondary this season. He’s a ballhawking DB with exceptional ball skills and reliable hands. He’s a skilled safety that covers deep extremely well and is a physical tackler in space. McDougle is off to a solid start this season after posting two interceptions and a touchdown in McClymonds’ week one victory over Tamalpais.

Rocha was a ball magnet at ILB in the spring filling gaps aggressively and tracking down ball-carriers on outside runs. He has good size at 6’2 200 lbs., with the frame to play inside or outside backer at the next level depending on how his body develops.

He’s a strong cover corner with a strong foundation of fundamentals/technique and raw physical talent.
