Continue ReadingEne is one of the top second year players across the state in this 2026 class, and he checks into our most recent rankings as our number one athlete in the state. He is a two-way star from his linebacker and running back position, and went off again this week against Oak Ridge, rushing for over 100 yards and a score, while adding another pick six to his resume. Ene currently holds offers from Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Nevada and Utah and he should see other national offers come in through his final two seasons of his prep career.

Hoffman has seen his recruitment pick up in the last few weeks, picking up a FCS offers from San Diego and Marist, and drawing interest from other FCS schools as well. He is a versatile player that can play all over the defensive line and has nice length for the interior with long arms and a violent strike/lockout. He is a high motor, very disruptive player with pass rush abilities from the inside, and dominates top Norcal competition in the vaunted SFL. This week, he had a big time performance against Granite Bay and had a whopping 5 TFL’s against one of the better offensive lines in the region.
Krupp is one of the top ’25 athletes across the region, and can play multiple positions on all three levels of the defense, and can lineup anywhere on the offensive side of the ball. He is extremely explosive with the ball in his hands, shows contact balance, vision in space and is a natural pass catcher from various angles downfield. He is a next level kid that should have a big time off-season, especially as he attends showcases and camps and gets his name out there more. Defensively, he was all over the field against Antelope and had 14 total tackles while showing cover abilities as well while making plays both in the box and in the open field.
