’25 Elite Players: Fresno County

<!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">QB [player_tooltip player_id="282771" first="Tanner" last="Wilson"], Sunnyside HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Wilson already holds an offer from SJSU and will once again be one of the best 2025 athletes across the state this Fall and has impressive arm talent. He is a very athletic kid with under-rated pocket mobility and can scramble, shows open field speed and can make people miss while able to throw across his body without losing zip on the ball with a quick release. Downfield, he is smart and moves safeties with his eyes and shows nice touch over the top while also able to fit the ball into tight windows and throws his receivers open. Very tough to tackle, he has good contact balance and short area quickness while bouncing off tacklers and always falls forward to gain extra yards. The Sunnyside offense will be one to watch this year as they have another FBS prospect on the outside in CJ Jones. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">OL [player_tooltip player_id="209493" first="Jonathan" last="Ybarra"], Sanger HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Ybarra was a varsity starter last season for Rosevelt but has since transferred to Sanger and is in line to be one of the better offensive lineman across the valley. He is a strong kid at the POA that wins with initial punch and a strong base through out his blocks and excels at blocking in the box. Athletic with some good bend, he can block at the second level, taking proper angles and finishing downfield with good toughness and physicality. In pass protection, he can anchor against bull rushers, establishes inside hands quickly and shows recovery agility if beat. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">WR CJ Jones, Sunnyside HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Jones is one of the more explosive players across the region and is only a rising Sophomore. His length, range, catch radius and downfield speed make him a very intriguing prospect at the next level and he should continue to land power five interest and offers sooner rather than later. Currently holding offers from Colorado State and SJSU, he had a dominant Freshman campaign where he was a true vertical threat, showed elite third level speed and strong hands while able to high point and win at the POA. A very smooth runner, he covers a ton of ground quickly while able to sink his hips and settle underneath with YAC abilities due to his short area quickness and defenders underestimating his range and long strides. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">DB Bryson Baker, Sanger HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Baker landed his first offer last month after camping with SJSU, and others should follow soon as well. He has very nice size and length for the third level and will only continue to grow and develop. A natural peddler, he is smooth when breaking to the ball without false stepping, shows good ball skills when attacking it in the air and has some natural instincts when triggering against the run and when jumping routes. Able to play off or jam at the LOS, he has quick hips in transition and recovery speed/length if beat downfield. He is a technically sound player that should have a breakout season this Fall. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
