He has visited Fresno State in the past, so don't be surprised when more schools in the region invite Gabe to campus. Gabe shows a good combination of quickness and power gaining leverage on second level defenders in space. Good patience, flexibility, and a strong anchor gets displayed stoning power rushers in pass protection. Gabe's combination of size, strength, instincts, and athleticism gives him the ability to play multiple iOL positions in college.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_1_player":["820609"],"_player_evaluations_1_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_1_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_1_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"I am convinced [player_tooltip player_id='820609' first='Jackson' last='Ramsey'] is one of the most underrated linemen in Reno. He has been to camps outside of Nevada in the past, but I am surprised Jackson has not received more attention from schools north of the state. Watch out for his regional recruitment to heat up before his senior season gets here. Coaches like Jackson's physicality and effort displayed in pursuit as a defensive lineman. Good size, pad level, leg drive, and power highlights Jackson's next level run blocking ability. Good patience and length shows in a well-timed punch in pass protection. Jackson shows the flexibility, quickness, and strong hands to handle himself on an island at the next level.","_player_evaluations_1_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_2_player":["1111097"],"_player_evaluations_2_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_2_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_2_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1111097' first='Chenney' last='Chua'] is one of my favorite risers in the 2025 class. I wrote about Chenney during the playoffs, but I am impressed with the versatile OL after revisiting his film. Expect his recruitment to heat up going into the spring. Coaches love seeing Chenney's effort, physicality, and next level strength when lead blocking at the point of attack. Chenney has the athletic change of direction and explosive power to develop into a quality interior run blocker. Quick feet, good flexibility, and a powerful punch highlights Chenney's ability to be a versatile interior pass blocker in college.","_player_evaluations_2_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_3_player":["1111091"],"_player_evaluations_3_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_3_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_3_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='1111091' first='Alema' last='Iosua'] stepped in during year one of his Nevada football career and helped lead Bishop Gorman's offense to yet another dominant state title. Coaches love Alema's great combination of power and athleticism that sends second level defenders flying. Alema shows a rare combination of length, quickness, and balance mirroring speed rushers with ease in pass protection. Good upper-body strength and lateral explosiveness gives Alema the potential to develop into a great pass blocker in college.","_player_evaluations_3_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations_4_player":["820612"],"_player_evaluations_4_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_4_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_4_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"[player_tooltip player_id='820612' first='Daniel' last='Boyd'] spent the 2023 season cementing himself as a top OL recruit in Nevada. The versatile prospect received an offer from Arizona State in December, and also took multiple game day visits across the country last fall. Be on the lookout for Daniel to receive more offers before next season gets here. Daniel shows a rare combination of speed, power, and athleticism knocking out defenders at the second level. A fast punch, quick feet, and good patience gets displayed easily tossing edge rushers in pass protection. Coaches love Daniel's strength and physicality that gets displayed finishing blocks in both phases.","_player_evaluations_4_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":5,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-659551b337daf"} /-->
