Long is the main receiving weapon for a very solid Vista team that will make some noise this season. He has 29 receptions for 557 yards and 9 touchdowns. Only a Junior, he should collect FCS interest this off-season and he could fit nicely at multiple positions on both sides of the ball at the next level.
Jeremiah Nash, McNair HS
Nash is a very explosive and fast outside weapon that plays with physicality and has strong hands when making contested catches with third level speed. Currently, he has 23 receptions for 525 yards and 6 touchdowns and is a no brainer next level player with some upside and untapped potential.
Jeremiah Bernard, Modesto Christian HS
Bernard is a big time shifty weapon that can make big plays every time he touches the ball. He is quick in the short area, has good hands downfield and can get behind safeties with third level speed and quick feet in the open field. Already tacking up 30 receptions for 500+ yards and 8 touchdowns, he will be one of the top returning weapons next year as well within the section.
Malachi Bean-Seay, Laguna Creek HS
On only 17 receptions, the 2023 prospect has over 400 yards and 8 touchdowns and has been putting together a very productive senior season so far. He is a balanced pass catcher that can run various routes, create separation downfield and is physical at the LOS when getting off press coverage.
Devon Hurst, El Dorado HS
Hurst is a big time downfield threat that wins on 50/50 balls with high-point abilities and strong hands when making contested catches. Explosive off the ball when operating from the slot, he is more of a north and south runner but can also show some sneaky short area quickness with the ball in his hands. So far, he has racked up 22 receptions for 451 yards and 7 touchdowns.
Cole Owens Cole Owens 6'2" | 185 lbs | ATH Casa Roble | 2024 State CA , Casa Roble HS
Owens is one of the top receivers across Norcal. He is a very talented route runner that gets in the blind spot of defenders, can get off a jam at the LOS and can make short catches into big time gains downfield. Versatile within the offense, he can take fly sweeps, operate out of the backfield if needed and can play both on the outside and in the slot. A big time YAC kid, he has 13 receptions for 441 yards and 6 touchdowns so far this season and is a FCS+ level prospect.
Scott Nixon, Sheldon HS
Sheldon is one of the more under-recruited players across the Sacramento region and is a legit FCS+ caliber kid at the next level with the size, downfield speed, physicality and ball skills to make an impact at the next level. He has put together numerous impressive seasons over the last couple of years and has been a sure handed blanket with a impressive 32 receptions for 429 yards and 4 touchdowns this far.
