Continue ReadingBleier has been one of the better linebackers across Arizona for a couple seasons now, and is very active from the second level that plays violent at all times and is a true banger in the box. He has been a highly active tackler every season at the varsity level, and erupted again this past week going for 12+ tackles and multiple TFL’s over a tough and scrappy BCP squad. Bleier is a FCS+ level talent at the inside linebacker position, and should find a home sooner rather than later.
Highlights
Bacon plays with a high motor at all times, and can make plays both inside the tackles while athletic enough to run sideline to sideline and set the edge when needed. He excels in coverage in the flats/running with slots downfield and plays a lot bigger then he is when in the box. His latest performance was a 14 tackle and 4 for loss game on Friday night while adding a fumble recovery as well. Look for Bacon to be somewhere near the top of the tackle leaderboards at the end of the season.
Montoya checks into our most recent 2025 rankings as a top fifteen linebacker in his class, and should fit nicely inside at the next level as a true run stuffer and plug in the middle. He is another high tackle kid that is always around the ball and has a knack for making big plays with this past weekend being no different. He went for 20+ tackles while seemingly everywhere on the field. As he continues to grow, develop and pack on more muscle to his frame, he should have colleges showing interest and coming his way through his final year of his prep career.
Highlights
Worthy is truly an elite athlete on both sides of the ball and should be a power five starter for multiple years at the college level. He is a mid-three star and 12 offer kid committed to Washington State. Last week he scored on both sides of the ball, and was a lockdown corner on a island on the outside. He has elite length, range and ball skills for the corner position and is a big time get for the Cougs.
