He produced explosive plays downfield with his arm, showed consistent accuracy to the intermediate-deep areas, and navigated the pocket well. Jacobs has Bishop Manogue looking to finish undefeated against regular-season Nevada opponents with Reno and Damonte Ranch up next. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Philip_Jacobs16/status/1711100631749140724","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/Philip_Jacobs16/status/1711100631749140724 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- 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-6523c0777cb55"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nevada's leading rusher totaled 169 yards and 2 TDs on 21 carries in Douglas' 35-0 shutout of North Valleys. Jackson's now totaled over 1,300 yards (170 ypg) and 21 TDs through Douglas' eight games (7-1). He's a balanced runner and an underrated athlete that can pound it between the tackles and produce explosive plays in the run game. Douglas finishes with home games against Wooster and Carson.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ConnorJ2024/status/1711061604555805068","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/1711061604555805068 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820622"],"_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-6523c0777cba0"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Breslin's athletic talent has been on display over the past few weeks posting back-to-back 100-yard performances after being limited early in the season. Faith Lutheran's junior RB rushed 14 times for 124 yards and a TD and caught 3 passes for 82 yards and another TD in the win over Durango. He's a superior athlete with a D-I combination of speed, quick-twitch, and elusiveness as a ball-carrier. He's quick to get downhill and is a home-run hitter in the open field. Breslin has four offers currently: UConn, Hawaii, FAU, and Campbell. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/calebreslin/status/1705647896643936636","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/calebreslin/status/1705647896643936636 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["940576"],"_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-6523c0777cbea"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bell scored 2 TDs in the first quarter of Arbor View's 42-18 win over Legacy totaling 131 yards on 8 carries. The talented RB has posted back-to-back 100 yard performances and looks to be a breakout prospect among Nevada freshmen. He's a dynamic playmaker with elite potential in his quick-twitch elusiveness and natural athleticism. He plays with high effort as a blocker and flashed awareness and technique in pass protection this week. Bell's a prospect that should be on the D-I radar in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KamareionBell/status/1711121883037651314","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/KamareionBell/status/1711121883037651314 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>More Top Performers:&nbsp;</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:list --> <ul><!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='819531' first='Mason' last='Dew'] (QB / 2024 Foothill): </strong>20/30, 278 yards, 5 TDs, INT</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>Terrell Mack-Lovely (WR / 2025 / Foothill):</strong> 8 catches, 105 yards, 2 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817705' first='Tyrese' last='Smith'] (QB / 2024 / Liberty): </strong>11/15 110 yards, 2 TDs; 5 rushes, 29 yards, TD&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='876718' first='Nylen' last='Johnson'] (RB / 2026 / Arbor View): </strong>8 rushes, 135 yards, TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='402175' first='Jayden' last='Williams'] (WR / 2026 / Arbor View): </strong>4 catches, 108 yards, TD&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='811151' first='Audric' last='Harris'] (WR / 2024 / Bishop Gorman): </strong>5 catches, 130 yards, 3 TDs<strong>&nbsp;</strong></li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1111099' first='Adonis' last='Vaughn'] (ATH / 2025 / Sierra Vista): </strong>15 carries, 100 yards, 2 TDs; 4 catches, 27 yards, TD&nbsp;</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817744' first='Omari' last='Evans'] (RB / 2024 / Sierra Vista): </strong>16 carries, 178 yards, TD</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --> <!-- wp:list-item --> <li><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='817755' first='Joseph' last='Czyz'] (RB / 2024 / Galena): 1</strong>7 carries, 129 yards, 3 TDs</li> <!-- /wp:list-item --></ul> <!-- /wp:list -->
