Noble took home MVP Honors and was consistently separating himself in both the testing and position specific drill work through out the day. He worked off the edge and showed tremendous short area explosion, violent hands and good bend off the edge while able to win with both speed and power. Leading the Tennyson defense in 2023, he is part of a loaded roster for the Lancers and should have a very productive season and will only see his stock continue to rise.
Highlights
Warkentin has had a very busy Spring since attending the NP Showcase last month and has since picked up some FCS offers from the likes of UC Davis and Sacramento State. He is a long interior rusher that is legit 6’5″ with long arms and a powerful strike at the POA. He knows how to use his length, win with power and speed inside while relentless in backside pursuit and shows quick block recognition in the run game. With some of the other regional top defensive lineman off the board already, Warkentin will be one of the top uncommitted kids across Norcal through the Summer.
Olyphant is a high upside kid that has impressed at multiple camps this off-season and showed off his athleticism, explosion and good body control/violent hands at the POA. He has legit size at 6’4″ and over the 220 pound mark with the frame to continue to pack on more weight through his final Summer and season of prep football. Olyphant recently picked up his first offer from D-II Minot State two weeks ago, and is set for a busy summer camping at multiple stops. He should draw FCS+ interest through the Summer and has tons of untapped potential at the next level and some position versatility.
Asiata was one of the more athletic defensive lineman at the camp and tested well while showing good movement abilities and a natural athlete in the open field, which is impressive for his size. Since the showcase last month, he has committed to Fresno State and was one of the top rising Norcal defensive lineman through the Spring. He is a big time get for the Bulldogs and is someone who offers position versatility at the next level due to his athleticism and size and can play on an edge or pack on weight and move inside.
