We conclude the final phase of our ‘City Series’ by taking a look at the Top 5 defensive backs in Northern New Mexico: <strong>Creed Chavez, St. Michael’s</strong>: A rising senior, Chavez has shown during the 7-on-7 season that he’s ready for a huge final season with the Horsemen. Chavez displays  a knowledge of x’ and O’s that few players of his age possess. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="275042" first="Drew" last="Perez"], Bloomfield</strong>: Perez had 34 tackles as a sophomore for Bloomfield last season as the Bobcats earned a top four seed in the Class 4A playoffs and reached the semifinals before seeing their season end. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="275465" first="W.D." last="Hyer"], Raton</strong>: Another promising 2024 prospect, Hyer and the Raton defense flew under the radar last season. Hyer finished with 33 tackles in 9 games. Even though Raton lost several major contributors from last season’s 11-1 team, they have enough talent coming back to be a major contender again. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="269604" first="Adrian" last="Rivera"], Robertson</strong>: The rising senior helped lead Robertson to the Class 3A title in 2021 with 78 tackles in 10 games. The Cardinals have been one of the most consistent program in Class 3A over the last decade with numerous appearances in the state championship game. <strong>Avelino Trujillo, Capital</strong>: Trujillo was one of Capital’s top defensive players a season ago and he’ll help ease the Jaguars transition to Class 6A this season. He is one of many Capital players returning in 2022 after gaining valuable experience last season. <strong>HONORABLE MENTION</strong>: [player_tooltip player_id="275570" first="Noah" last="Washington"] (Taos); [player_tooltip player_id="270048" first="Dax" last="Vigil"] (Piedra Vista); [player_tooltip player_id="275469" first="Mario" last="Saenz"] (Raton); Israel Rodriguez (Santa Fe). https://twitter.com/CoachMateoRael/status/1504435097033879552 https://twitter.com/creedchavez/status/1479146750736838656 https://twitter.com/RatonFootball/status/1534484117437394946
