As we move through the early part of the Spring off-season and camps, showcases and 7on7 tournaments are in full swing, who are some regional athletes that have put together productive off-seasons and have either seen their recruitment take off or are closing in on their first offer? Find out below!
Highlights
Robertson checks in as our number two linebacker in our PRZ Rankings and is one of the western regions best and will make a big impact at the college level. He is a downhill athletic thumper that is a plug in the middle while athletic enough to make plays outside the tackles and flows well to ball carriers. He is a high IQ kid that triggers fast, can sniff out screens and draws while physical near the LOS and explodes through contact when tackling. He plays with a low hat when navigating around traffic and has natural bend and explosion when applying pressure with added pass rush abilities as well. He is a no brainer FCS+ caliber kid that should be closing in on more offers soon.

Jacobsen has the ideal frame and length for the next level and will only continue to develop and grow as he progresses through his final two years of his prep career. He is a long and rangy safety that can cover ground in the run game, takes good angles in the open field and is a sure tackler while closing quickly and running through contact. In coverage, he can win against bigger tight ends and receivers while physical off the line and shows some recovery length if beat. As he continues to grow, he could find himself in a OLB/SS role at the next level due to his length, frame, speed and run support abilities. He is no doubt one of the states best regardless of class and is a no brainer FCS+ level talent.

Groom checks in as the top defensive back in the 2024 class across Idaho and has elite ball skills/natural instincts from his third level positions. he has a nose for the ball, shows great open field speed/movement abilities and breaks quickly to ball carriers with plus ball skills and extremely physical near the LOS. He is fluid in his pedal with good hips in transition while smart enough to play off/zone coverage and physical enough with disciplined eyes and patience in man downfield. He has a natural feel for the game and breaks quickly to ball carriers on the outside while not afraid to drop into the box and bang in-between the tackles. Groom is a no brainer next level kid that should see his stock continue to rise and colleges take notice sooner rather than later.
