Chris Fewell Chris Fewell 6'2" | 200 lbs | LB Lincoln - San Diego | 2023 State CA – LB, 2023
Fewell has produced a breakout junior season proving to be a turnover machine from his LB spot. He thrives in coverage playing with great instincts and elite ball skills for the position. He’s a rangy, athletic backer (6’2, 190 lbs.) that moves extremely well in space. He reads QB eyes in zone coverage and reacts up quickly to underneath routes. He shows ability to track-down ball carriers and is physical at the point-of-attack in the run game. Given his production this season, including a pick-six in three consecutive games, Fewell is sure to see a major boost to his recruiting stock and activity soon.

Hunter Wiggins Hunter Wiggins 6'0" | 185 lbs | DB Lincoln | 2023 State CA – DB, 2023
Wiggins has been a steady contributor in a secondary that boasts two Oregon commits in Jalil Tucker Jalil Tucker 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Lincoln | 2022 State CA and Jahlil Florence Jahlil Florence 6'2" | 180 lbs | DB Lincoln - San Diego | 2022 State CA . He’s a fast, rangy athlete at his safety spot covering sideline-to-sideline. He’s shown versatility this season playing deep safety, filling the box in run support, and covering the slot as a nickel corner. He has great physical tools to cover man with long arms, fluid hips, fast feet, and speed to cover downfield. Wiggins is looking to be another major D-I DB recruit for Lincoln with offers from USC, Oregon St., Fresno St., and SDSU.

Josiah Cox- DB, 2023
Another contributor in the loaded Lincoln secondary, Cox brings physicality and toughness to this talented group. He’s a strong, violent hitter that plays with a level of physicality rarely seen in young DBs. He excels at containing outside runs and screen plays, shedding blocks and making tackles in space. He has a great frame and natural athleticism for the position at 6’2, 185 lbs. Cox picked up his first offer in September coming from Oregon St. which could jumpstart more interest from other major D-I programs.

David Peevy David Peevy 6'4" | 230 lbs | LB Lincoln - San Diego | 2023 State CA – OLB/Edge, 2023
Peevy brings speed and athleticism off the edge for Lincoln’s front seven. He’s proven to be a mismatch in pass-rush with his explosiveness off the LOS and has consistently been the most athletic player in the trenches against the OL units Lincoln has faced. He utilizes his length, leverage, and violent hands to fight off blocks and can set the edge in the run game. Peevy is another piece of the loaded 2023 class for Lincoln that will likely see an uptick in recruiting activity this offseason.
Elmo Barnes- OL, 2022
Barnes has shown versatility in the trenches filling in at OG and OT throughout the season. He has natural OG qualities (6’4, 285 lbs.) and moves well for his size. He thrives at working up to the second level picking up blocks and driving defenders back. He sticks to his blocks and finishes with good hand placement and strong leg drive. In the pass game, he shows a quality kick-step and quickness coming off the ball and getting into his pass-block set. Barnes is a sleeper OL prospect who’s natural ability and skill set give him the potential to be an effective OG at the next level.
