With plenty of standout performances throughout the night, which names skyrocketed their value to colleges across America looking to land some some top-tier talent. Without further ado, let’s take a glimpse at the stock-risers from last night’s action.
WR Jeremiah Hoffman Jeremiah Hoffman 6'1" | 170 lbs | WR Severance | 2025 State CO 6’1″ 170 Severance Soph.
#5 Position, #29 Overall
Best Drill: 40-Yard-Dash
By the time the event ended around 10 PM local time, Hoffman certainly raised more than a few eyebrows en route to raising his overall stock. Without a doubt, Hoffman’s greatest attribute that stood out was his blazing speed in the 40-yard-dash. After putting on his best impersonation of Flash Gordon in his second attempt that resulted in a speedy 4.4 seconds, Hoffman proceeded to run the popular drill a third-time with another turbo time of 4.5 time. Outside of his straight line speed, the nimble wideout also showcased his strong hands in wide receiver drills and displayed a knack for running solid routes with his swift feet.
WR Demarcus Sanchez Demarcus Sanchez 5'9" | 165 lbs | WR Desert Ridge | 2024 State AZ 5’8″ 160 Desert Ridge (Mesa, Arizona) Jr.
N/A Position, N/A Overall
Best Drill: One v One’s
Out of all of the out-of-staters that traveled long distances to Colorado to showoff their skill-sets, none were more impressive than wideout Demarcus Sanchez Demarcus Sanchez 5'9" | 165 lbs | WR Desert Ridge | 2024 State AZ out of Mesa, Arizona. Attending Desert Ridge High School as a junior, Sanchez did the most of the opportunities that were given to him by balling out in the positional drills. For what Sanchez lacks in size he makes up for sheer speed. As the night continued, it become quite evident that the Arizonian possessed the complete package when it came to his route running, hand-eye coordination, and ability to pinpoint the ball in the air.
RB Brycen Mhlanga Brycen Mhlanga 5'11" | 205 lbs | RB Littleton | 2023 State CO 5’11” 210 Littleton Sr.
#6 Position, #64 Overall
Best Drill: Cone Work
Although Mhlanga’s high school playing days are behind him, one look at the former Littleton high school standout and you began to question your own workout routine. All jokes aside, any college program would be lucky enough to have Mhlanga in their backfield next fall. Ranked as the sixth-best halfback in the 2023 class and the 64th-best prospect in the entire state, Mhlanga is a physical runner that has a low-center of gravity which helps him gain leverage on tacklers at the first point of contact. Not to mention, but Mhlanga has quick feet that helps him hit the running lanes swiftly as displayed yesterday.
QB Tevin Stokes Tevin Stokes 5'11" | 165 lbs | QB Chaparral | 2026 CO 6’0″ 155 Chaparral Fr.
N/A Position, N/A Overall
Best Drill: Positional Drills
The future has arrived! The class of 2026 made a bold entrance on Thursday night as one of the top freshman quarterbacks put on a show in Chaparral High School field general Tevin Stokes Tevin Stokes 5'11" | 165 lbs | QB Chaparral | 2026 CO . The one thing that stood out about Stokes’ game was his ability to differentiate from putting some zip on the ball to dialing it back a bit and lofting the pigskin with the softest of touch. During the QB drills, Stokes encapsulated this skill to perfection and is a big reason why his stock should only be rising from here on out.
LB Landen Holloway 5’10” 205 Denver East Jr.
N/A Position, N/A Overall
Best Drill: Positional Drills
Catching my eye from the jump, Holloway possesses unreal strength and speed for someone his size at the linebacker position. In fact, Holloway made everyone in attendance look small due to his large frame. While the toughness that Holloway boasts is second to very few, his lateral quickness in the majority of the drills he participated in made some jaws drop. At the moment, consider the Denver East and First-Team All-Conference linebacker as one of the more raw prospects the state has to offer. He will definitely be someone to keep an eye on heading into next season.
WR Jordan Rechel Jordan Rechel 5'11" | 165 lbs | WR Fairview | 2025 State CO 5’11” 165 Fairview Soph.
#1 Position, #1 Overall
Best Drill: Positional Drills
While it’s hard to imagine that Rechel’s stock can rise any more than it can, the top-overall wide receiver and player within his class had opposing defenders on skates with his fluent route-running and his extreme quickness in and out of breaks. Not to mention, but even on passes headed is way that weren’t directly on the money, Rechel was able to use his his mitts to snap the ball out of thin air with ease. Simply put, you do not want to line up directly across from this kid.
