He's an explosive vertical threat with elite body control and ball skills downfield. He's a smooth route-runner with high-level speed and elusiveness after the catch. He's a skilled coverage player at DB that could play either side of the ball at the next level. Ross' eight offers include Notre Dame, Utah, Washington, and Michigan St.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Jordan__Ross1/status/1553147971469844480?s=20u0026t=6bC2JotJMuBnjE8ZzqiuEQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Jordan__Ross1/status/1553147971469844480?s=20u0026t=6bC2JotJMuBnjE8ZzqiuEQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f1488128809","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["398384"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>San Jacinto's leading receiver last season picked up his first offer in April and now holds a handful of Pac-12 offers from Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Washington St., and Colorado. He's a natural athlete that can operate out of the slot or out wide. He presents a big catch radius with long arms and great body control at 6'1”/165. He's a dangerous vertical threat that can make contested catches downfield and out-compete DBs at the catch point with strong hands. He creates separation with smooth front-end releases and a second gear to beat DBs over the top. Gresham should continue to generate major D-I interest as a junior.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/dillon_gresham/status/1551819678623735808?s=20u0026t=6bC2JotJMuBnjE8ZzqiuEQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/dillon_gresham/status/1551819678623735808?s=20u0026t=6bC2JotJMuBnjE8ZzqiuEQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f148b22880b","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["273677"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Saldate had a massive stock-rising spring that saw him pick up his first offer from Cal in April and has since added offers from Washington, Oklahoma St., and Washington St. He's effective operating the middle of the field out of the slot and finding soft spots in zone. He flashes great hands and body control with ability to make difficult catches in traffic. He produced explosive plays in the screen game as a sophomore with good speed and elusiveness in space. Saldate carries serious recruiting momentum and upside into his junior season.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/SaldateLogan/status/1551023560700747777?s=20u0026t=6bC2JotJMuBnjE8ZzqiuEQ","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/SaldateLogan/status/1551023560700747777?s=20u0026t=6bC2JotJMuBnjE8ZzqiuEQ </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"id":"block_62f148c42880c","name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["195515"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"align":"","mode":"preview"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The speedy wideout added offers from Boston College and Utah in May after picking up Arizona, Washington, and Washington St. offers in 2021. He's a twitchy athlete with high-level burst and agility. He's fast and physical with the ball in his hands and can make defenders miss in tight spaces. He's a top track runner in SoCal and his brother, Bryce, is a standout WR at Stanford.

He's a natural athlete that's fast and explosive with the ball in his hands as an outside WR and return specialist. He figures to be a top playmaker on offense for Kimball in the fall as they graduated their two leading receivers from a year ago. He's a productive and physical tackler in space from his S spot and could see interest as a DB at the next level.

He's a dangerous vertical threat that challenges DBs downfield with straight-line speed and strong hands at the catch point.
