<em>Breaking down the stock-risers in PRZ's latest 2022 CA Rankings at the ATH position. This group is highlighted by some versatile skill-players including two future Ivy Leaguers and a talented in-state signee.</em> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="141964" first="Brian" last="Dukes"]- ATH, Mater Dei Catholic</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Dukes missed most of his senior season due to injury but was an impact player down the stretch in Mater Dei Catholic’s state championship run. He’s an athletic playmaker in the secondary at 6’4”/190 with good length and speed. He flashes great ball skills and coverage instincts in zone. His frame and skillset translates well as a FS at the next level. Dukes is one of the more underrated 2022 DBs in SoCal with offers from Air Force, Army, and Penn.</span> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Int from tonight’s game !! <a href="https://twitter.com/mdcrusaders?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@mdcrusaders</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachjoynermd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachjoynermd</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachVMAKASI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachVMAKASI</a> <a href="https://t.co/bPSrKY77gp">pic.twitter.com/bPSrKY77gp</a></p> — [player_tooltip player_id="141964" first="Brian" last="Dukes"] jr (@BrianDukesjr2) <a href="https://twitter.com/BrianDukesjr2/status/1428938907601670147?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 21, 2021</a></blockquote> <a href="http://blockquote%20class=twitter-tweetp%20lang=en%20dir=ltrInt%20from%20tonight’s%20game%20!!%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/mdcrusaders?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@mdcrusaders/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/coachjoynermd?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@coachjoynermd/a%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/CoachVMAKASI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw@CoachVMAKASI/a%20a%20href=https://t.co/bPSrKY77gppic.twitter.com/bPSrKY77gp/a/p—%20brian%20dukes%20jr%20(@BrianDukesjr2)%20a%20href=https://twitter.com/BrianDukesjr2/status/1428938907601670147?ref_src=twsrc%5EtfwAugust%2021,%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> <b>[player_tooltip player_id="143118" first="Nico" last="Brown"]- ATH, Edison</b> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Brown is an impressive two-way player at WR/DB and was named Sunset League Receiver of the Year in his senior season.
