Senior Spotlight: Elite Norcal Small School Players (Offense)

<!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">ATH Grant Foster, Orland HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Foster was the best player on the field in every game he played in this Fall for Orland. They completed a historic <em>undefeated</em> run winning their section, and knocking off Clear Lake in Norcals and punching their ticket to the state title game where they beat Shafter for the perfect season. Foster played all over the field and is a dynamic runner with natural abilities, good burst through the hole and contact balance through traffic with elite cutback abilities and vision. He is extremely tough to tackle in space as he shows excellent short area quickness for someone his size and runs through arm and ankle tackles while seeing the field well in space. He can play multiple positions at the next level and is a no brainer next level kid that can make a impact. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">RB Ryker Peters, Escalon HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Peters is coming off of one of the most dominating performances this season of any athlete in the entire state. He lead Escalon to a state title in 2022 and was a big reason why they have established themselves as one of the most respected teams in Northern California. Peters is a smooth, bruising runner that looks for contact, runs through tackles with natural forward lean and leg drive while finishing runs and is tough in-between the tackles with sneaky third level speed. A low to the ground compact runner, he shows short area quickness in tight windows, can start/stop quickly and waits for his blocks to develop downfield before making his cuts and has the speed for cutback and setting up defenders to take bad angles. Peters is a no brainer D-III+ level kid at the next level and will excel in the right system at the college level. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>QB [player_tooltip player_id='384892' first='Trey' last='Fasani'], Ripon Christian HS</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Fasani is a very mobile quarterback and accurate passer that can fit the ball into tight windows and excels at throwing on the run while keeping his eyes downfield. He is a well put together kid that scans the field quickly, is not afraid to check it down but also puts nice air on the ball over the top, throwing his receivers open and moving defenders with his eyes. In the open field, he is a good runner with vision, speed and cutback ability with a third level gear in the clear. He is one of the best available quarterbacks across Northern California and more than deserves a shot at the college level. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"style":{"typography":{"fontStyle":"normal","fontWeight":"700"}}} --> <p style="font-style:normal;font-weight:700">QB [player_tooltip player_id='261784' first='Nicky' last='Johnson'], Morro Bay HS</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Johnson is a true dual-threat quarterback that can make big plays with his legs and delivers a nice ball downfield with solid arm strength and elite pocket mobility. A very high IQ kid, he is a multi-year high school starter and will bring plenty of experience to the next level. In the pocket, he feels pressure well and understands when to step up or bail outside while keeping his eyes downfield and able to throw into tight windows on the run and across his body. On tape, he also shows he can make off-platform throws and puts nice zip on the ball on intermediate throws while airing it out to allow his receivers to run underneath it downfield. He is another no brainer next level kid at the D-III+ level that will instantly make a college roster better. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Other Top Small School Players...</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>QB Jaret Bosarge, St. Vincent de Paul HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>WR Owen Nash, Escalon HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>ATH [player_tooltip player_id='263395' first='Nassir' last='Pitters'], Berean Christian HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>RB Anthony Salinas, Farmersville HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>QB Drew Sisemore, St. Bernards Academy </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>RB Arthur Draeger, Liberty Ranch HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
