The goal, however, is to continuously add as many names to the radar as possible to help garner attention toward the athletes within Colorado.</p>   <p>Ten offensive newcomers made their way onto the rankings by finishing their prep football careers in style. </p>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='489855' first='Donnie' last='Carney']</strong> from Green Mountain has added his name to the long list of talented Colorado tight ends by putting on an outstanding performance his senior season. Carney is ranked sixth in the position group and will be staying in Colorado to play for Air Force. Windsor's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514369' first='Jaden' last='Thomas']</strong> is an electrifying running back who exploded onto the scene early during the season, ending as the third-ranked player in the position group with a shot at making a name for himself as a New Mexico State athlete. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CarneyDonnie84/status/1620850103534895104?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>Colorado may have some of the more undervalued talents in the nation, but there is a long line of elite offensive linemen to come from the Box State. Valor Christian's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='490116' first='Ty' last='Barwind']</strong> (8th), Rock Canyon's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='491499' first='Duke' last='Holter']</strong> (16th), and Loveland's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='407070' first='Levi' last='Gunn']</strong> (24th) are just a few of the newly ranked offensive linemen. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/DukeHolter/status/1636444095462920192?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>Barwind finished eighth on the list and will be attending Colgate College. Holter was a key factor in a powerful rushing offense, earning serious attention from colleges and the 16th-ranked spot in the group. Gunn landed just inside of the top 25 for the position after a season that ended with a 4A state championship appearance and a commitment to play for South Dakota Mines.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LukeFrancis2023/status/1620987392395206656?s=20 </div></figure>   <p>Broomfield's <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514370' first='Luke' last='Francis']</strong> is a player whose on-field success as a running back landed him the 10th spot within the position group and an opportunity to earn a spot on the roster at Colorado State. Teammate <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='514389' first='Canon' last='Juarez']</strong>, an available two-way athlete, was an integral part of Broomfield's championship season whose athleticism and competitive playing style turned him into one of the more talented skills players on the field.</p>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='412450' first='Micah' last='Byrum']</strong> from Middle Park is another talented tight end who was relatively unknown, but not by college scouts. The 15th-ranked tight end earned the opportunity to stay in-state and play for Colorado Mesa.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/micah_byrum/status/1620826820466839553?s=20 </div></figure>   <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='447835' first='Josh' last='Rillos']</strong> is a wide receiver from Ralston Valley who had a breakout senior year that landed him on the radar early in the season, snagging the 11th-ranked receiver spot and landing offers from Air Force and San Diego. <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='515028' first='Trey' last='Khanna'] </strong>had an outstanding season as one of Erie's powerful weapons within the program's arsenal. The 24th-ranked running back and returner was an invaluable asset to the Tigers yet remains relatively under the radar. </p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JoshRillos/status/1600982731512745985?s=20 </div></figure>   <p></p>
