OL Tyler Murphy, 2023
Murphy is one of the top offensive lineman across Northern California and will probably wind up playing in the Mountain West or Pac-12 by the time it’s all said and done. He is very athletic for his size with natural bend and good feet with the ability to block in space. He has an explosive first step with a strong inside punch, heavy hands and a solid base through his finish. Already holding offers from the likes of Army, Eastern Washington, Air Force, Idaho and Fordham, he is in line for a huge Senior season and should see other late FBS offers come his way.
WR Paul Kuhner Paul Kuhner 6'0" | 175 lbs | WR Acalanes | 2024 State CA , 2024
Holding one offer from Massachusetts, Kuhner is a true burner downfield that can take the top off a defense and shows strong hands in traffic while a precise route runner. In the return game, he is one of the best across Norcal as he is explosive through the first level with a third gear in the open field and shows good vision in space with the ability to make defenders miss in tight windows with short area quickness. One of the fastest players across the Bay Area, he is in line for a monster Junior season for one of the regions top teams.
WR Trevor Rogers, 2024
Rogers is another intriguing prospect with downfield speed, length and nice upside as he progresses through his high school career. Also holding an offer from Massachusetts, he should see other FCS+ offers roll in as he progresses through his Junior year of high school as he is also in line for a monster 2022 season and should be one of the more productive offensive weapons across the Bay Area. A long strider, he is explosive off the ball while able to easily shake press man and make big plays after the catch due to covering a ton of ground with the ball in his hands and forcing defenders to take bad angles.
TE/LB Kyle Bielawski, 2023
One of the more athletic and active linebackers across the region, Bielawski will be a top tackler across all of Northern California this Fall and brings a nice combination of fluidity in space and toughness in the box to his style of play. He is a high IQ kid that has a quick play diagnosis and can apply pressure off the edge while showing some pass rush ability and strong closing speed backside when collapsing the pocket. Outside the tackles he shows lateral movement abilities and can tackle in space while understanding pass responsibilities/is able to run and cover backs and tight ends easily.
RB/LB Ellis Burger, 2023
Burger is one of the most productive ball carriers across the region and is tough and physical in between the tackles while possessing the speed to bounce it outside when needed while finishing runs downfield through contact. A polished runner, he shows good lateral movement abilities in the short area while flashing strong vision with cutback ability and forcing defenders to take bad angles in the open field. A balanced back with speed and elusiveness, he will be one of the many big play backs the Bay Area has to offer in 2022.
