Elishah Jackett Elishah Jackett 6'7" | 280 lbs | OL El Modena | 2023 State CA , El Modena HS
Jackett is a very impressive prospect with a big frame, long arms and offers really nice upside at the next level as he will only continue to physically and technically develop. Currently, he holds offers from SDSU, USC and Rice while others should follow soon. On tape, he shows terrific knee bend in his stance and an explosive first step while playing with heavy hands upon contact and solid leg drive through the first level. Still working on finishing blocks, he can nicely block in space and takes good angles to second level defenders while anchoring down against pass rushers and patient in pass protection.
Ryan Silver Ryan Silver 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL Serra | 2023 State CA , Serra HS
Silver has really seen his recruiting pick up over the last few months and towards the end of his Junior season and holds FBS offers from Nevada and Colorado State. Able to play both guard and tackle, he is a very good athlete for his size and excels at blocking downfield and sustaining blocks at any of the first two levels. Out of his stance he is explosive and very physical/creates immediate knock-back and finishes blocks with physicality and shows good toughness. Silver shows he can pull when needed, stays consistent with active hands and a wide base in pass pro, and should continue to develop into one of the top 2023 prospects Norcal has to offer regardless of position.
Matthew Staycer Matthew Staycer 6'4" | 320 lbs | OL Culver City | 2023 State CA , Torrey Pines HS
Staycer has a stout build, good lower body strength and will kick inside in college and fit nicely as a phone booth type player that wins with power and short area blocking abilities. Holding an offer from SDSU, he can play on both sides of the ball, and shows nice versatility to play multiple positions along both the offensive and defensive line. Staycer shows impressive use of hands in pass protection against longer defenders and uses his leverage nicely to get underneath and drive off the ball. Still developing, as he progresses through his Senior season he will be able to make a positive impact on a college program.
