The 6'0” 180 lb. back out of Oaks Christian is an elite level talent and one of the highest rated RB recruits in the country. Checks all the boxes that colleges look for in a back with his ability to accelerate through the LOS breaking through first contact then using his short area quickness and sudden cuts to weave around defenders at the second level, and finally using the breakaway/long speed to finish off runs in the endzone. He's an instinctual runner that uses his vision and anticipation to see angles and create open running lanes. Love his balance and ability to absorb contact while maintaining forward momentum and leg drive. Also, a nationally ranked sprinter with a 100m PR of 10.42 and 200m PR of 21.31. 19 current offers from many of the top programs in the country.rnrn19 Offers: Alabama, Arizona, BYU, Georgia, Kansas, Louisville, Miami, Michigan State, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Oregon, Oregon State, San Jose State, Stanford, Tennessee, UNLV, USC, Washington, Washington State","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65207e8927189"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/d_redeaux1/status/1705765049007255811","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/d_redeaux1/status/1705765049007255811 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">7.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["283689"],"_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":"Topui moved up a handful of spots to #7 overall and the top ranked defensive lineman in the updated 2026 state rankings. With his 6'3” 320 lb. frame in combination with his high level natural athleticism and strength he is one of the top ranked interior DL recruits in his class holding offers from top programs such as Georgia, Michigan, Oklahoma, Oregon, and USC. Projects as a defensive lineman in college but showed great positional versatility over the summer playing OL as well at multiple camps. On both sides, he's got great initial quickness out of his stance and has fast and violent hands to control opponents and create positional leverage. Possesses rare mobility, feet, and bend for his size and age. Shows he can match opponent's lateral movement in the short area and can work to the second level/perimeter to be a very effective blocker in space. 19 total offers thus far with many more on the way.rnrn19 Offers: Arizona, Arizona State, Auburn, Colorado, Louisville, Michigan, Northern Arizona, Oklahoma, Oregon, Oregon State, San Diego State, TCU, Texas Tech, UNLV, USC, Utah, Washington, Washington State, Georgia","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65207e8927207"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TomuTopui52/status/1602069773008764928","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/TomuTopui52/status/1602069773008764928 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">8.</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401273"],"_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":"The top ranked 2026 WR in the state is a dynamic athlete with ideal size, length, and growth potential at 6'3” 180 lbs.
