Tybo Rogers Tybo Rogers 5'11" | 180 lbs | RB Bakersfield | 2023 State CA – WR, Bakersfield
Rogers has shown versatility producing explosive plays as a wideout and taking carries out of the backfield. He’s effective working out of the slot taking bubble screens and jet sweeps for big plays and is a dangerous weapon in space. He has an athletic frame with long arms and great speed. His speed makes him a vertical threat as a receiver and shows strong hands and the ability to catch in traffic. He shows good vision and burst through the hole operating out of the backfield. Rogers has attracted interest from several D-I programs and picked up his first offer from Boston College in September. Rogers should continue to see more offers coming his way.
I’m very blessed to receive my first college offer from @BCFootball thank you @CoachSHuggins @jackmurphy_BC @BCCoachGunnell pic.twitter.com/Qmpd6eTpIw

Zamir Hall Zamir Hall 5'7" | 175 lbs | RB Ridgeview | 2023 State CA – RB, Garces Memorial
Hall has been a steady presence in the ground game in his junior campaign averaging over 9 yards/carry for Garces. He’s produced highlight plays flashing quick cuts and elusiveness in space. He runs with good pad level and vision to find lanes between the tackles. He shows speed to get the edge on outside runs and likes to lower his shoulder finishing runs aggressively. Hall wraps up his junior season with a game against Stockdale on Friday.

Jahlon Jimenez- OL, Clovis
Jimenez anchors Clovis’ OL unit at his LT spot. He possesses prototype LT qualities with a big, physical frame (6’6, 260 lbs.) and long reach. He shows plus footwork and fundamentals in both run and pass blocking. He’s a high quality pass blocker that can beat DL with technique and physicality. He shows patience in his pass blocking and can anchor down and use his strength and balance to stop oncoming rush. Jimenez has had a quiet recruitment so far but should see his stock rise soon.
Jalen Hankins- RB, Liberty (Bakersfield)
Ramirez is a physical two-way starter and standout at RB/SS for Liberty. He’s a strong downhill runner who shows good vision between the tackles and is difficult to tackle when he gets to the second and third levels. He runs with good pad level and picks up yards after contact with good balance and leg drive. Hankins should earn himself some recognition for the productive junior season he’s put together including finding the endzone 14 times in eight games.
Check out my 5-game, mid season highlights! 4.0 GPA, RB/Safety, 5’8” 175 lbs.https://t.co/GMrKuWGeFe

Bryson Waterman- WR, Bakersfield Christian
Waterman has had a productive junior season catching passes from his brother, 2022 QB Braden Waterman. He’s proven to be a vertical threat showing good downfield speed and concentration to finish the catch. He’s shown the ability to produce explosive catch-and-run plays and is difficult to tackle in open space. He has good receiver instincts, soft hands, and knows to create space with his routes. Waterman should see an uptick in his recruiting activity after putting together strong junior film.
