Aholelei is a big downhill power back at 5’8” 215 lbs. His frame is well-built and compact with a strong lower half and low center of gravity to run through contact. He’s a high level rugby player whose running style translates well to the football field. A natural north/south runner that is quick to get square and attack the LOS. Flashes great vision and ability to create open running lanes. He’s a violent ball carrier that is a tough solo tackle for any high school defender using his contact balance, leg drive, and aggressive stiff arm. Also shows some quickness and speed in the short area to avoid defenders at the second level. Finished the 2023 season with almost 1,400 yards on 145 carries with 20 touchdowns while rushing for at least 100 yards in every game.
Long 6’2” 170 lb. frame with good growth potential to add size. Possesses a lot of natural ability as both a route runner and pass catcher. He’s got good body control and coordination to track and adjust to ball flight. Does a great job playing at the catch point, he competes for every ball and understands how to use his body/length to box out defenders and create a throwing lane. Love his ability to make tough contested catches with limited space. He’s quick off the LOS and has the long speed to stretch the field vertically. Can fight through contact at the line and has a good stick move at the top of his routes to create separation. Strong foundational skillset to build on as he develops and should see his role expanded going into his junior year.
Diaz made the transfer to Centennial after a solid sophomore season at Cactus that saw him selected First Team All-Region. At 6’4” 285 lbs. there’s a lot to like about his size and skillset as a future college level OL prospect. He’s a natural bender that comes hard off the ball with good leverage and pad level. He explodes at the POA with a heavy initial strike bringing his feet and hips upon contact to drive opponents out of position. Possesses active hands with good placement to control defenders and sustain his block throughout the play. He’s a good athlete that is mobile and can move his feet both in his pass set and at the second level. D1 size and ability he’s a high ceiling prospect with tons of potential as he develops and progresses.
A plus athlete that showed good ability as both a WR and KR during his sophomore season. 6’1” 185 lbs. his skillset allows him to attack defenses in a lot of different ways. A good route runner at the short/intermediate levels, can use his speed to be a deep threat, and can also make plays as a ball carrier on end arounds or in the return game. He’s quick footed and flashes good burst to evade defenders in space. Strong coordination skills and athleticism to adjust body positioning and track the ball with his eyes through the hands. He attacks the ball in the air and extends to throws outside his framework. Shows good effort and physicality as a stalk blocker both from the slot and on the outside. Another guy who should see an increased role moving forward.
Reynoso is a complete back with a wide skillset to be effective as both a ball carrier and receiver. At 5’8” 180 lbs. he runs hard between the tackles while possessing the speed to turn the corner to the outside and break away from defenders. He’s got quick feet with good lateral agility and acceleration in the short area and out of his cuts. Elusive in the open field but also does a great job making guys miss in tight spaces at the first level. Flashes strong ball carrier instincts and patience to allow the play and his blocks to develop. Not the biggest back but he’s slippery and tough to wrap up as he absorbs contact while maintaining forward momentum. Moved up from the watchlist to the rankings where we expect him to keep climbing as he develops and sees more opportunities in one of the top programs in the state.
