<p>Tagoa'i possesses all the tools you look for in an elite DB prospect: size, ball skills, physicality, instincts, and versatility. He's a natural athlete at 6'4”/195 with great length and fluidity in coverage. He totaled 73 tackles, 1 INT, and 9 PBUs at his natural S position last season. Tagoa'i has added two SEC offers from Alabama and Auburn in May with other offers from Georgia, Notre Dame, Texas, and USC. </p>

<p>McNair's a rising national prospect and the current top WR in Nevada's 2025 class. He's a long, natural athlete on the outside with great hands, catch radius, and ball-tracking. He's been a notable performer on the offseason circuit the past several months and currently holds over 15 D-I offers from the likes of Georgia, Michigan St., Utah, Texas A&M, and Oregon among others.</p>

<p>Villarreal's a rangy coverage S that totaled 7 INTs as a junior. He's a lankier athlete at 6'1”/165 that's smooth gaining depth in deep coverage and is extremely disruptive in passing lanes at the second/third levels. He's an aggressive downhill tackler that doesn't hesitate to close space and tackles with field leverage/awareness. Villarreal just picked up his first offer from Colorado St. in January.</p>

<p>Gaea's a developing talent on both sides of the football for Bishop Gorman (WR/DB). He's skilled operator out of the slot that's effective at finding the soft spots in zone and shows skill/ability as a route-runner. He has workable start-stop agility in the shallow area and quality hands as a pass-catcher. Gaea just picked up his first D-I offer from Hawaii in early May.</p>

<p>Jackson's a raw CB prospect with promising upside in his coverage skills. He has good size (6'/175) and athleticism that could help turn him into a lockdown defender on the perimeter. Jackson has a major opportunity to put together strong film and production for the Gaels in his junior season.</p>
