NV 5A Mid-Season Stock Risers: Offense

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Breaking down some of the biggest stock risers on offense in Nevada's 5A Division. RBs [player_tooltip player_id='819533' first='Connor' last='Jackson'] (Douglas) and [player_tooltip player_id='854252' first='Bronwyn' last='Rios'] (Reed) are each closing in on 1,000 yards rushing and QB [player_tooltip player_id='819531' first='Mason' last='Dew'] (Foothill) leads one of the most productive offense in the state.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819533"],"_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-6512a551bee10"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Jackson leads the state in rushing yards (989) and total TDs (15) in Douglas' 5-1 start to the season. He's a physical workhorse averaging 22 carries/game and 164 yards/game, including a 300-yard/ 4 TD performance in the team's most recent win over Galena last Friday. He sees the lanes well at the LOS and can generate downhill power making him difficult to wrap in space. Jackson is closing in on 1,000 yards rushing with four regular season games remaining.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ConnorJ2024/status/1706121134268387560","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/ConnorJ2024/status/1706121134268387560 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["854252"],"_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-6512a551bee91"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rios took over for the most productive RB in the state last season (Spencer Firebaugh- 2,300 yards/31 TDs) and has made a name for himself with nearly 1,000 yards and 10 TDs through six games. He's a powerful north-south runner that can get downhill quickly and produce explosive plays with deceptive built-up speed. He's compact, balanced, and physical through contact as a ball-carrier. He's posted 200+ yards rushing in half of Reed's games this season. Only a sophomore, Rios is establishing himself as one of the top RBs in NV's 2026 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Bronwyn_Rios14/status/1706179722949099955","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/Bronwyn_Rios14/status/1706179722949099955 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["819531"],"_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-6512a551beedf"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dew leads all Nevada passers with nearly 2,000 yards and 23 TDs with only 5 INTs in Foothill's 5-1 start. He's a talented distributor with underrated arm strength and accuracy from the pocket. He does a good job of leading receivers with on-time throws and can fit the ball into tight windows to every area of the field. Dew's lone offer came from D-II Minnesota Duluth in April, but should generate more interest with his level of play as a senior.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><a href="http://www.hudl.com/v/2LpFzq">Mid-Season Highlights</a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["402175"],"_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-6512a551bef24"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams is having a breakout sophomore season with five straight 100+ receiving yard games as freshman QB [player_tooltip player_id='803284' first='Thaddeus' last='Thatcher'] and the Arbor View offense have started to find their rhythm. He's scored all 7 of his TDs in the Aggies' past three games with a total of 560 receiving yards on 26 catches on the season. He's a natural playmaker with the ball in his hands that can elude defenders and breakaway with speed at the second/third levels. He's a talented pass-catcher with technical route-running, natural hands, and body control at the catch point. Williams should continue to add to his current offer from Utah Tech.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/va_nilla6/status/1706053815852831110","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/va_nilla6/status/1706053815852831110 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["817762"],"_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-6512a551bef7a"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Estes has looked significantly more developed in his overall athleticism and skillset for Douglas this season. He looks more coordinated and in-control of his 6'5”/195 frame, consistently creating mismatches over smaller DBs and presents a dynamic receiving threat on the perimeter. He's matched his production level to his physical upside with multiple games of 100+ receiving yards and multi-TD games this season. Estes is a plug-and-play type athlete that possesses the physical skills and athleticism to play multiple positions at the next level including WR, converted-TE, or OLB.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/traceestes2/status/1701088583212536132","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/traceestes2/status/1701088583212536132 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>More Risers:&nbsp;</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='803284' first='Thaddeus' last='Thatcher'] (QB / 2027 / Arbor View)&nbsp;</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817779' first='Philip' last='Jacobs'] (QB / 2024 / Bishop Manogue)&nbsp;</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817705' first='Tyrese' last='Smith'] (QB / 2024 / Liberty)&nbsp;</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112655' first='Evan' last='Cannon'] (RB / 2024 / Shadow Ridge)&nbsp;</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='819544' first='Jackson' last='Sellers'] (RB / 2024 / Reno)</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112644' first='Ethan' last='Stubbs'] (WR / 2024 / Foothill)</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817703' first='Jayden' last='Robertson'] (ATH / 2024 / Liberty)</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1112638' first='Tarrell' last='Mack-Lovely'] (ATH / 2024 / Foothill)</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
