Pree is an elite slot receiver that can play all over the field, and is one of the most explosive playmakers in the valley. He has a great initial burst off the ball, shows good downfield speed and can run a variety of different routes while showing high point abilities, strong hands and can go up and get the ball in traffic over multiple defenders. He is a true downfield threat that is quick in and out of his breaks, and does a good job at settling and finding the soft spots in zone coverage before getting vertical. He was offered by Montana State earlier this month, and is a no-brainer FBS caliber kid at the next level with some upside due to his length and speed.
Stevenson is a multi-purpose athlete that can line up on the outside, in the slot or even the backfield and is a dynamic playmaker in space. When in the slot, he does most of his damage in the YAC game and can big plays out of nothing, while extremely difficult to take down in the open field due to his short area quickness and lateral twitch. He is a natural pass catcher that has good contact balance, and is an elite returner as well, with vision in space and does a nice job at setting up his blockers when returning kicks or taking punch screens. He is another one of the central valley’s best and most versatile athletes that colleges should know about, and he is in line for a monster Junior campaign.
Youngblood was a two-way starter for one of the top teams in Northern California as a sophomore, and put on some big time performances through out the NCS playoff’s. He has good length and elite open field speed and can stretch the field while getting over the top of safeties and tracks the ball well in traffic. At corner, he is a long and rangy player that plays physical at the POA, excels in press coverage and is a natural peddler while smooth in transition and breaks quickly to ball carriers. Although not currently holding any offers, he is a no brainer D-I caliber prospect in this 2026 class, and is one of the hidden gems across the Bay Area heading into the 2024 season.
