Week 2: Impact Players Part. II

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id='412917' first='Conner' last='Willis'], Canyon Ridge HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Willis is in line to have a breakout year for Canyon Ridge this season and erupted last week for 346 yards passing and another 5 touchdowns as Canyon Ridge blanked Caldwell. Willis is a next level player that passes the initial eye test and has under-rated athleticism both inside and outside of the pocket. The 2024 prospect is one of the best signal callers in his class across Idaho and should start seeing FCS and FBS interest come his way this season and through next off-season. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>LB [player_tooltip player_id='336935' first='Eli' last='Mikita'], Eagle HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Mikita is one of the best defenders across the state regardless of class, and is a big time hitter from the second level with speed, explosiveness and a high football IQ. A tackling machine week in and week out, Mikita is a FBS caliber player that should find himself playing in the Big Sky, MWC or even Pac-12 by the time it's all said and done. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>OL [player_tooltip player_id='336949' first='Jackson' last='Brody'], Bishop Kelly HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Brody is a mauler in the trenches and helps anchor a loaded offensive attack from BK that should have a very nice showing this Fall. He is a low to the ground compact vertical blocker that gets underneath defenders and wins with strength and power at the POA while able to pull and block in space when needed </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>WR/DB Trey Jacobsen, Rocky Mountain HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Jacobsen is a two-way standout 2025 prospect for one of the top teams in the Western Region and could find himself playing defensive back in college. Long, rangy and has possesses fluid hips, he flies around the third level, can cover ground while taking good angles to ball carriers in the box and shows quick hips in transition with tracking abilities in man coverage. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>RB/DB [player_tooltip player_id='239243' first='Kai' last='Callen'], Highland HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Callen is one of the best up and coming young stars across the Western Region. Last week he had over 130 APY, 1-TD, 1-TFL and 1-INT. He is a multi-dimensional two-way athlete that can do tons of damage on both sides of the ball and had a very nice off-season this Spring. A three sport athlete that can be used as a gadget player, he can play multiple positions at the college level and currently holds one offer from Idaho State. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>TE/FB [player_tooltip player_id='336881' first='Varick' last='Meredith'], Kellogg HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Meredith is a throwback thumper that can line up both in the slot and come out of the backfield with good hands for his size and is very tough to tackle when coming downhill. This past week he went off on both sides of the ball erupting for 112 yards receiving with 2 touchdowns and added another 13 tackles, 2 TFL's and .5 sacks from his linebacker position. He should start gaining interest at the fullback position, and in the right system he could be a dominating college player. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
