Pre-Season Stock Risers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id='336850' first='Dawson' last='Wahl'], Mountain View HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Wahl passes the initial eye test at 6'5 and just about 200 pounds with a big time arm and very under-rated pocket mobility and athleticism in space. So far this season, Wahl has been one of the top passers across the Western Region thus far and should see his recruitment pick up sooner rather than later. On tape, he shows good arm strength downfield with touch on the ball over the top while moving through his progressions and moving defenders with his eyes. He is not afraid to zip it into tight windows and can throw on a rope outside the hashes and is a no brainer FCS+ caliber prospect that has been flying under the radar so far. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB [player_tooltip player_id='378187' first='Taeshaun' last='Reese'], Rocky Mountain HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Reese is one of the top '25 prospects across the gem state and will be a big time back at the next level. He has a strong build, natural lean and impressive vision in tight windows through the first level while a natural pass catcher out of the backfield with strong hands and can get upfield quickly and make defenders miss in space. Still developing open field speed, he is hard to bring down in space as he runs behind his pads and runs through contact while finishing with good toughness. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL [player_tooltip player_id='336872' first='Kiegan' last='Henson'], Mountain View HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Henson is a very athletic and well built offensive tackle that can play either inside or at the tackle position in college. Showing light/quick feet and strong lateral movement abilities in pass protection, he is a patient blocker that can anchor against the counter move and is athletic enough to get out to a point against speed rushers. In the run game, he shows nice bend and initial explosion out of his stance while showing inside hands and immediate knock-back while finishing blocks and is also able to combo to the second level and block in space while taking good angles. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LB Brody Swearhart, Rocky Mountain HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Swearhart is a big time rising inside linebacker that is a sure tackler in the box that can thump and take on bigger blockers with a strong shock and low pad level without giving up ground. Able to also scrape over the top, he shows lateral movement and closes quickly while taking good angles in the open field and showing a quick trigger/play recognition. As he progresses through his Junior season, he will be one of the top '24 inside linebackers across Idaho and should continue upon a strong start. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
