One very underrated piece is [player_tooltip player_id='516772' first='Aaron' last='Sibley'], who has shown the versatility to shift between tackle and guard. Sibley showed great overall technique, but I was especially impressed with his run-blocking. He's very mobile and light on his feet, able to move into the second level and easily take on LBs. Explosive on pulls too. Sibley also showed great footwork in pass protection with great lateral quickness. Aaron is consistent with his hands and pad level as well. Solid prospect that is very well-coached and experienced against top-tier competition.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14877762/638786dedfe2a405c8cecc08' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b1a2815a5e"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='408450' first='Ryker' last='Wohlers'] | DB | DC West | </em>6'2" 170 lbs</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/15089162/Ryker-Wohlers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/RykerWohlers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Very versatile player that projects at a couple of different positions at the next level. Ryker is a standout receiver and safety for the DC West Falcons and finished his junior year with 16 receptions, 244 yards, six receiving touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns, 48 tackles, and three interceptions. At safety, Wohlers displays quick instincts with sideline-to-sideline range. He uses his length very well when getting his arms up to bat away passes. Great ball-hawking eye too. At receiver, I like that although he's a taller receiver, he doesn't necessarily need to rely on his size to win matchups. He knows how to get open right away and was great at picking up yards after the catch. Ryker's athleticism and vision take over when the ball is in his hands, as he can find and create lanes to tack on extra yardage. Great prospect that should be a riser this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/15089162/63bf9017066aee04e4bf3a4d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b1a2815a93"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='245857' first='Adin' last='Carrera'] | DB | Bellevue East | 5'9" 170 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/16008743/Adin-Carrera" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/Adin_Carrera" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Despite seeing an injury cut Adin's season short, he still had a great year in which he greatly improved. Carrera only played in seven games, but he still managed to rack up 27 tackles, a fumble recovery for a touchdown, and an interception returned for a touchdown. His overall coverage ability saw a huge bump last season with improved footwork, change of direction, and physicality. He moves very well and did a solid job against some of the top receivers in class A, able to stick right in their hip pocket. Carrera plays his hands very well and showed a knack for being able to break up passes. Ready to see Adin get back to 100% and competing this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16008743/63e34500a0232c077c9975ed' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b1a2815ab1"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='675852' first='Jaden' last='Williams'] | QB | Doniphan-Trumbull | 6'2" 195 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/11731308/Jaden-Williams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/jadenwilliams0" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Doniphan-Trumbull gets back one of the more productive passers from the 2022 season [player_tooltip player_id='675852' first='Jaden' last='Williams']. Jaden lit up defenses with his arm and legs, showing us he can be a dual threat in the backfield. Williams passed for 1,780 yards and 14 touchdowns while adding 406 rushing yards and seven touchdowns on the ground. He displays solid patience in the pocket with the ability to maneuver around pressure while keeping his eyes upfield. Even when scrambling, Jaden still does a good job with his decision-making and can anticipate open receivers. Another thing that impressed about Jaden's game with his arm strength and his ability to throw the deep ball. He had quite a few deep passes that were right on the money. When he's on the run, he shows good balance and elusiveness while being tough to bring down on first contact. Solid on defense as well! Hoping to catch Jaden at some point this offseason!</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/11731308/63f7ab52b3c82e0bc01fce5a' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b1a2815acc"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>[player_tooltip player_id='560709' first='Kellen' last='Peterson'] | DL | Aurora | 6'0" 225 lbs</em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/14881032/Kellen-Peterson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Hudl</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/KellenPeterson2" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Twitter</a></em></strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='560709' first='Kellen' last='Peterson'] is the player up next in a long line of Aurora maulers and one that I'm looking forward to watching compete at the Prospect Tour. He finished his junior season with 30 tackles and three sacks as part of a tough, physical front seven. One of Kellen's biggest strengths is his versatility on the defensive line. He can play defensive end or tackle and can line up in various techniques. He impressed at defensive end, where he can collapse the pocket very well and provide pressure on the QB. Allen is a very strong individual that can win his 1v1s with power but also has enough wiggle at the line to blow past slower tackles. Kellen is also smart with his hand use and use of leverage, which also translates over to the offensive line. Expect to hear more about Peterson this week, as I'm expecting him to ball out at the showcase. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/14881032/63f6e06e7bd41f0c5497ae4b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-643b1a2815ae7"} /--> <!-- wp:separator --> <hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity" /> <!-- /wp:separator --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Make sure to follow @PrepRedzoneNE on Twitter and Instagram to stay up to date with all your Nebraska prep recruiting news.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
