It's the most wonderful time of the year and for high school football players it represents an opportunity to continue their football careers at the next level. Here is an update on where some of the player will be playing next fall.   [player_tooltip player_id='406857' first='Smith' last='Snowden'] || DB || 6'0 || 180 || Skyridge High School || 2023 Snowden is the state's top Corner, so naturally, both BYU and Utah wanted him badly. The 5'10 defensive back decided to join the Utes, and he could be their next great defensive back. Snowden is a phenomenal athlete with a high football IQ. He tracks balls incredibly well and, despite being undersized, usually finds a way to make plays. In addition, Snowden has excellent hands that he uses to both deflect passes and take them away. He committed on the same day that future NFL cornerback Clark Phillips III declared for the draft, and the former Flacon could have a very similar career path.   [player_tooltip player_id='406939' first='Jonathan' last='Brambila'] || OL || 6'3 || 285 || East High School || 2023 When teams know you want to run the ball and your still able to have success on the ground, that means two things. First, you have elite backs, and second, elite offensive linemen who excel at moving men from point A to point B. Brambila is one of the state's top offensive linemen who shines in every phase of the game. He's a physical mauler who explodes off the snap. Brambila has a great punch and keeps his feet driving till the whistle. He keeps his pad level low and displays excellent leg drive. In pass protection, he has a good base and handles blitzes well. Now he joins Southern Utah, where he will undoubtedly make an impact up front.   [player_tooltip player_id='406911' first='Noah' last='Flores'] || WR || 5'10 || 172 || Alta High School || 2023 Flores will be taking flight with the Aggies next year as he heads up to Logan to join the Utah State Football program. As one of the state's most electric players, Flores is a threat to score every time he touches the ball. Flores excels at making guys miss and flies across the field in a blur. His stops and start is among the best you will find, while his acceleration is also impressive. Flores is also dangerous on the outside, where he routinely burns defenses over the top. He is a good route runner who comes down with contested catches in large part due to his leaping ability. Flores will be a problem at the next level or every defense he encounters.   [player_tooltip player_id='406870' first='Sione' last='Westover'] || LB || 6'3 || 205 || Skyridge High School || 2023 The Skyridge defense was sensational all season, but this would not have been possible without Westover's contributions. The 6'3 linebacker can play on or off the ball. Westover is a Versatile player who makes plays all over the field. He's a strong and quick backer who gives offenses fits all game long. In coverage, he quickly closes on balls and makes tackles or gets interceptions. Speaking of turnovers, Westover is a great tackler who uses his hands to punch balls out routinely. He hits like a missile and can track down ballcarriers all over the felid. Westover will also be joining Souther Utah next fall, where he will continue to decimate offenses.
