Flashing good feet for his size, he excels in pass protection staying square to the rusher and winning with inside leverage, a strong anchor and can play against both speed and power rushers. He checks into our updated rankings after a very nice prep career for Rio Mesa and has next level potential. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations":"","_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6c8557dc0d"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["404690"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6c8557dc58"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Puka was one of the most dominant offensive lineman across Norcal in 2022, and was a big reason why the Grant Pacers won a state title this December. On film, he shows he is a violent blocker that can pull/block in space while taking good angles to linebackers at the second level and sustaining blocks downfield. Showing a nasty finish and athletic enough to combo/pull in space, he is a no brainer next level kid that will be a steal at the college level. At multiple camps he was at last off-season, he dominated all competition and proved he is technically sound and can be dominant both in the run game and in pass protection. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["475619"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6c8557dca3"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Going had multiple college suitors and is a big time get for San Diego. He has good size for the guard position, heavy hands and gets underneath defenders in the vertical run game with solid leg drive and a strong wide base through his progression. In pass pro, he has active hands using defenders weight against them with a violent snatch and does a nice job at picking up twists/pressures proving he is a high IQ kid. A very physical player that can be violent both in the box or out in space with good feet and movement abilities, he should turn into a multi-year starter for the Torreros. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["627045"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":643693,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-63e6c8557dd06"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Quilici has been one of the top tackle prospects across Norcal for the last few seasons and is a very athletic kid with good feet, the ideal frame and no bad weight on him. He moves very well laterally, shows a high football IQ in pass protection and is a violent puncher in the trenches. He played against top tier competition during his prep career and is a very nice get for the Big Red. He should fit nicely in at the tackle position at that level and it would not be surprising if he was a multi-year starter. </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><em>Other Top New Additions...</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='626274' first='Rodney' last='Leaks'], Sierra Canyon HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='626253' first='Elijah' last='Payne'], Sierra Canyon HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='626275' first='Sean' last='Scott'], West Ranch HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>[player_tooltip player_id='626898' first='Nate' last='Hale'], Orange Lutheran HS</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
