Tei Nacua Tei Nacua 6'2" | 170 lbs | WR Timpview | 2024 State UT || WR || 6’2 || 170 || Timpview High School || 2024
Nacua is a natural route runner who can change direction incredibly fast. He can win off the snap with his textbook releases or by quickly getting in and out of his breaks. Nacua is a talented pass catcher and blocker who relishes in the opportunity to plant defensive backs into the turf. His impressive vertical allows him to rise above defensive backs and moss them for big plays. Nacus is comfortable making grabs in traffic and does a good job shielding off corners with his body on slant routes to move the chains and score touchdowns.
Landon Figueroa Landon Figueroa 5'10" | 175 lbs | WR Granger | 2024 State UT || WR || 6’0 || 175 || Granger High School || 2024
Figueroa does a great job adjusting to the ball in the air. His blazing speed helps him create separation over the middle of the field and outside the numbers. Figueroa does a good slowing down to make tough grabs on underthrown balls and will sell out with a diving catch when overthrown. 50/50 balls feel more like 80/20 when he’s the intended target. Figueroa fights for every ball in the air and comes down with catches even when being interfered with. He possesses exceptional body control, which helps him make spectacular grabs on the sideline.
Luke Livingston Luke Livingston 5'11" | 175 lbs | WR Timpanogos | 2024 State UT || WR || 5’11 || 175 || Timpanogos High School || 2024
Livingston is one of the state’s most difficult players to tackle after the catch. He’s incredibly shifty and makes quick decisions when approaching defenders. Livingston can slip out of tackles or turn the corner quickly to prevent defenders with an angle on him from tackling him. He makes something out of broken plays numerous times each game, and his breakaway speed is elite. Livingston is also one of the state’s most versatile players who can play multiple positions on both sides of the ball, including quarterback.
Cooper Swasey Cooper Swasey 6'1" | 180 lbs | WR Payson | 2024 State UT || WR || 6’1 || 180 || Payson High School || 2024
Swasey can shred defenses lining up inside or out. His long strides help him separate from defensive backs to bring in deep balls. Swasey’s elite combination of speed and short-area quickness makes him hard to contain for four quarters. He can make contested grabs along the sideline and get two feet down. Swasey can also survive hard hits and hold on to make catches even after being blasted over the middle of the field. He also does a great job working back to the ball on broken plays.
