Bravo is a pretty big receiver at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds and uses his physicality to make challenging catches. He isn’t a speed demon but he’s a good athlete who can make plays after the catch. His biggest strength is bringing down tough passes in tight coverage which is the skill he has that translates the most to the next level in my opinion. He is a solid route runner who can create separation at the top of the route. Bravo earned All-San Gabriel Valley honors by the SGV Tribune. He has no offers yet but was invited to some junior days and I am sure he will get some offers late this summer or during the fall.
I have been training for the last month with @CoachMo_Gainz14 and @jjniel8. I Have noticed myself becoming faster, stronger, and more explosive. @JNIEL8 @DojoAthletics #offszn #staygrinding #Family @SGVNSports @CoachDanny10 @latsondheimer @James_Escarcega @CoachDHernandez pic.twitter.com/OGgq3P63tB

Xavier Hicks, La Mirada
I saw Hicks as a sophomore at Orange and thought he was one of the more reliable offense weapons the team had. He has plus speed and adjusts to the ball very well while it’s in the air. Sometimes La Mirada lines up in 22 personnel with Hicks split out wide and for some reason teams don’t bracket him and he gets loose for a deep ball. He is a very reliable third down target and does just about everything well. He is still waiting for his first offer.

Gavin Porch Gavin Porch 5'10" | 160 lbs | ATH Los Alamitos | 2023 State CA , Los Alamitos
He is a tricky guy to evaluate because he is more of an athlete than a receiver. Los Alamitos lines him up all over the field, including running back and he is really good at making plays after the catch. He runs good wheel routes as a running back, can be a deep threat or make plays on bubble screens. He is very fast and is always a threat to score. He sometimes gets overshadowed because of the star power on Los Alamitos’ offense, but Porch would be the best offensive player on a lot of teams.
Highlights…Los Al vs. CDM. Thank you, @CoachRix @BallySportWest for the awesome commentating & thank you @RogginsHeroes for the shout out 🙏🏽 The grind never ends 💪🏽@LosAlFootball@ocvarsity@ocvarsityguy@Sports_Recruits@latsondheimer@247Sports@Sunset_Rewind@PrepRedzoneCA pic.twitter.com/zmeLr0Qu48

Dominic Bryant Rubio Dominic Bryant Rubio 5'10" | 170 lbs | WR Bishop Amat | 2023 CA , Bishop Amat
Rubio was one of the better receivers at the Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase in January. He was excellent in the agility drills with a 4.25 shuttle and 6.74 L drill. One of those guys who gets open due to his route running rather than his speed. He is a really good athlete who isn’t afraid to get physical and bully his way into touch catches within the rules. He has very good field awareness and always knows how close he is to the sidelines.
Great work this weekend 🤟🏻@PrepRedzoneCA @Lemmingscouting @mikehuntley63 @Ath_CoachBerry @TheMatt_V @CoachHagerty @247Sports @adamgorney pic.twitter.com/p43Ak8lGhD

Sahfee Yasin-Spann, Warren
He is a Philadelphia transplant made a big impact for Warren last season. He is often in the slot and his former quarterback Nico Iamaleava Nico Iamaleava 6'5" | 200 lbs | QB Warren | 2023 State CA hits him on quick routes or he uses his speed to beat guys down the middle of the field for big plays. He is the most explosive guy at the line of scrimmage on this list. He doesn’t take a few steps to get going. He is at his top speed very early in the route. He has the aggressiveness and strength to break tackles or carry guys for a few extra yards after contact. He visited some schools with Iamaleava who is a close friend, but is still waiting for his first offer.
