Autry continued to establish himself as one of the most electric playmakers in the county with over 2,200 rushing yards and 30 TDs as a junior. The athletic talents the junior RB showed as one of the top RB performers and testers at last January’s PRZ CA Showcase clearly translate to the in-game setting, offering a highly dynamic skillset out of the backfield. He’s a dangerous player with the ball in his hands possessing the speed, elusiveness, and fluidity to turn an inch of space into an explosive play. He’s extremely slippery at the LOS, can take advantage of cut-back lanes, and checks boxes in the passing game as both a receiving threat and committed to blitz pick-up. Autry’s recruitment has gained momentum in recent weeks with his first pair of D-I offers coming in from Air Force and Cornell. Utah, Nevada, and San Diego St. are other programs that have shown interest in the talented RB.
Highlights
Garcia rose the WR rankings after a productive first season with La Costa Canyon (Central Union transfer). He’s a pure all-around football player with appealing playmaking ability on offense and physical edge on defense (S). His natural athleticism shows at WR where he’s a quick, twitchy route-runner and an extremely tough runner with the ball in his hands. His true upside at the next level might be best maximized on defense with the violent, aggressive style of play he deploys, combined with the natural instincts, athleticism, and ability to space he offers in the secondary. Garcia’s stock should continue to rise as one of the most versatile talents in North County.
Stump continued to build on the promise he showed as an underclassmen with 3,200 passing yards and 32 TDs as a junior in 2023. He’s a smooth, efficient passer from the pocket that shows great ball placement to all areas of the field and possesses the release time to get the ball out on quick-hitters. Pocket presence is one of his most glaring strengths on tape: he stands tall, is consistently scanning the field, feels the pressure, and buys himself time with plus-side mobility as an improviser (6 rush TDs as a junior). Stump, PRZ’s #2-ranked QB in San Diego, has drawn interest from several Ivy League programs and was just recently invited to Elite 11 regionals in March.
Highlights
Cardwell was a new addition to the 2025 WR rankings after adding offers from Cal, San Diego St., Central Michigan, Oregon St., and Washington St. over the past month. The athletic two-way standout (WR/DB) totaled 400 yards and 5 TDs on offense and 2 INTs as a perimeter CB. He’s a skilled cover-corner that can jam and disrupt front-end routes in press-man and plays with strong instincts in soft zone. On offense, he’s most effective on in-breaking routes in the short-intermediate area where he can utilize his stop-start agility and deceptiviness as a route-runner to create separation. Cardwell, who’s brother was a highly recruited RB out of high school (now at Cal), will be one of the top two-way skill players in San Diego’s senior class this fall.
Irmen was added to the 2025 DL rankings after finishing among San Diego’s leading sack producers last season with 12.5. He shows athleticism as an edge defender- particularly in contain where he shows quickness and lateral range- and attacks the backfield with speed, physicality, and violent hand usage as a rusher. He delivers a powerful punch to oncoming blockers and uses his eyes well to locate/track the ball. He could improve his leverage when taking on pullers but his natural fluidity makes him a slippery block in space. Irmen has drawn recent interest from Air Force and could see an uptick in activity heading into his senior season.
