OL Zaire Collier, Granite Bay HS
A top offensive lineman in Norcal, Collier is a physical and very athletic prospect for his size that will be an inside player at the next level. Very explosive out of his stance, he plays with good pad level and finish, while driving up through his hips while athletic enough to pull in space, climb to the second level and take good angles to second level defenders. He will once again be one of the best uncommitted offensive lineman across the region this Spring.
RB Rocco Schramm Rocco Schramm 6'1" | 225 lbs | LB Monte Vista | 2022 State CA , Monte Vista HS
Just picking up a recent offer from Morehead State, Schramm projects as a linebacker at the next level and is one of the best two-way players across the entire Bay Area. He flashes natural instincts while closing quickly and is a very strong tackler in space while able to move laterally and explode through contact while brining good physicality at the point of attack. More of an inside player, he is athletic enough to cover backs and tight ends while showing strong change of direction and a high football IQ. Schramm has had a very successful high school career and will without a doubt make an impact at the next level.
DE Kai Wallin, Jesuit HS
Wallin has emerged onto the scene this season and has nice upside at the next level due to his untapped potential, length and frame that can pack on more weight. A true pass rusher, he is a natural bender around the edge while showing an explosive first step, good use of hands and elite closing speed around the corner. For his size, he can add more weight and size to his frame and should find himself as a 4-3 defensive end at the next level or a stand-up 3-4 outside linebacker. Wallin is one of the most impressive and physically dominating defensive lineman Norcal has to offer this season while playing on a top team.
