<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Evaluating the film for the top DBs in Prep Redzone's first round of 2024 NV Rankings. Two of the top DBs in the state- [player_tooltip player_id='819547' first='Jaylen' last='Allen'] &amp; [player_tooltip player_id='817707' first='DaMari' last='Washington']- line up opposite of each other for Desert Pines. [player_tooltip player_id='817709' first='Ryden-James' last='Dacosin'] (Liberty) and [player_tooltip player_id='819544' first='Jackson' last='Sellers'] (Reno) are the biggest standouts at S in their class thus far. </em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819547"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6461b084950eb"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The top DB in Nevada has added 5 D-I offers this offseason from Valparaiso, Air Force, Sacred Heart, Dartmouth, and UNLV. He's a skilled cover corner that flashes playmaking ability in both man and zone. He's sticky in coverage with fluid hips and is a willing, physical tackler on the perimeter. Allen should continue to add Mountain West offers with another strong season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/thejaylenallen_/status/1656060617881698307?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/thejaylenallen_/status/1656060617881698307?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817707"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6461b08495175"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Washington starts opposite of Allen and solidifies the most talented secondary in the state. He thrives at disrupting routes on the front-end and playing physical at the LOS in press coverage. He uses his hands effectively and possesses ideal reach for the position. Washington just added an offer from Portland St. this month.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/mari21xx/status/1655777251802374144?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/mari21xx/status/1655777251802374144?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817709"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6461b084951c9"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dacosin's an instinctive S that was among the state's leaders in INTs with 5 last season. He's an anticipatory defender in coverage that reads well with his eyes and possesses the ball skills to produce turnovers at all levels of the defense. Dacosin has sneaky upside in his overall DB skill and playmaking ability.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Rydendacosin_/status/1594000107665383424?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Rydendacosin_/status/1594000107665383424?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817723"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6461b08495235"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Peterson's a raw perimeter defender with promising size and coverage ability at CB. He does a good job of mirroring breaks/patterns in man coverage and covers well over-the-top on the outside. Peterson has potential to be a breakout DB on the Nevada recruiting trail with a strong senior season in the fall.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/new_era__22/status/1639107817616601088?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/new_era__22/status/1639107817616601088?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819544"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6461b08495280"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Sellers is only second to [player_tooltip player_id='817709' first='Ryden-James' last='Dacosin'] as the #2 S in Nevada's 2024 Rankings. He's a talented middle-field safety that flashed ability to be a ballhawk defender in zone coverage with 4 INTs as a junior. He's an adequate tackler in run support that can line up near the LOS and be an extra body in the box. Sellers will look to follow up his productive junior season in 2023.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2JtRRR">Junior Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
