His frame allows him to get up above his defenders and high point the football. He also does a good job of using his body to box out defenders, and use his reach to catch the football away from them. Mateo can run routes off of the line of scrimmage, as well as split out wide. He has reliable hands and is a go-to on third down situations. He is just as effective in his run blocking. Once Mateo gets his hands on you, he has the strength to drive his defenders back away from the football. Matep Grajeda currently has NO OFFERS! His recruiting is going to blow up his senior year! Keep an eye on this kid. Ranking: 3 Star Athlete.

Diego Oaxaca – WR – Montwood High School – El Paso, Texas – Diego Oaxaca is a 5’10” 175lb slot receiver that is incredibly gifted! He snags the ball out of the air with his hands. After the catch he runs strong, breaks tackles, and keeps those feet pumping fighting for every yard.. Diego is also very shifty and has the ability to shake defenders, and the acceleration to take it to the house. He accumulated over 1,362 Receiving yds and 16TDs as a junior. Diego will surely be a go to target for the Montwood offense in 2023. I am very excited to watch this young man’s senior season! Trust me when I say this kid is a baller! Diego currently has no offers, but he has Division 1 talent. Ranking: 3 Star Athlete.
