Bryce is a explosive versatile player that can play anywhere along the defensive line and shows good first step twitch, and strong inside hand placement at the POA.

Playing with a low hat and quick block recognition, he tallied 17 sacks during his Junior season.
DE Jaxson Jones Jaxson Jones 6'3" | 215 lbs | DL Yuma Catholic | 2024 State AZ , Yuma Catholic HS
Jones is a very athletic, twitchy and rangy defensive end that can also translate to the second level in college as well due to athleticism, hip fluidity and speed. The Washington commit is extremely explosive off the edge with elite bend, first step get off and a quick use of hands at the POA. In the run game, he can violently get off blocks, plays with a low hat and flashes closing speed and is a strong open field tackler when collapsing the pocket. He is a no brainer power five player and racked up 17 sacks in 2022.
OLB Donovan Vozza, Morenci HS
Vozza is a two-way star and makes a big impact on both sides of the ball. Coming off the edge, he is explosive with elite closing speed and brings a big thump at the POA while running through blockers and is a big time mismatch off the edge against bigger tackles. Displaying a variety of pass rush moves at his disposal, he is a natural bender off the edge and gets underneath a punch quickly while knowing when to counter back inside. In 2022, he racked up 15 sacks while also a dominant player on offense.
DE Gabriel Rodriguez, Peoria HS
Rodriguez is a D-III+ player that will only continue to pack on more weight this off-season and once he gets into college. Although a bit undersized for the position, he is a high motor kid with good athleticism and twitch near the LOS while winning at the POA with both speed and power. Off the ball, he establishes quick inside hands and a strong punch while resetting the LOS and can redirect/counter when coming off the edge and winning at the POA. Heading into what should be a huge Senior year for him, he was a 12 sack kid in 2022.
