He was recently offered by Rice and UC Davis over the weekend, and should be closing in on his first P4 offer sooner rather than later. He has visited UC Davis and Rice this Spring and will be at Cal this upcoming weekend.

He has recently picked up offers from Florida State, Florida, Nebraska and UCLA, and is now past the 30+ offer mark as he heads into his Senior season for San Ramon Valley. The Wolves have a loaded defense once again, and Jones will continue to be one of the best players in the entire state this Fall.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660d66d8a8f6e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["723764"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Garretson is a freak athlete at 6'7u0022 and moves extremely well for his size while a terrific overall athlete and has tons of upside at the next level. He has really done a good job at packing on weight this off-season and is filling out his frame and should have a huge Senior season. Although having quite a quiet winter, he has pulled in some offers in recent weeks and his recruitment has really taken off. The Pleasant Valley product has been offered by SDSU and Sacramento State, and it should not be too long until other FCS+ schools join in and offer.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660d66d8a8fc1"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["282692"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Cahoon is quickly rising up the linebacker ranks across northern California, and has had a very busy Spring so far. He has recently taken trips to UC Davis, UNLV and Cal and picked up offers from Navy and Army over the past couple of weeks. This is a very impressive Saint Francis team coming back in 2024, and they have no shortage of division I talent on the defensive side, led by Cahoon and company.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660d66d8a900e"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["406650"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Myers is one of the top recruits in the Bay Area along the defensive line, and has had a very productive high school career as he enters into his fourth year starting for Cardinal Newman. The All-State Selection has picked up two offers recently from Washington State and Army, and should see a slew of other FCS+ offers roll in through the Spring evaluation period. Over the past three seasons, Myers has been atop the sack leaders across northern California, and should see plenty of schools come by and visit through April.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-660d66d8a905d"} /-->
