The Ukiah standout is a two-sport athlete that is one of the most explosive and productive two-way stars in the entire Bay Area. He has been flying very under the radar until this point in his career but it’s a no-brainer next level Kid at the FCS+ level on either side of the ball. Offensively, he is extremely explosive and covers a ton of ground downfield while showing tremendous body control and a big catch radius while able to make plays in traffic and is a very crisper route runner they can easily get off press man coverage. Defensively, he has a quick trigger fluid hips in transition and natural ball skills while he very high IQ defensive back. He is also an elite returner and is in line for a monster Senior season for the Wildcats who are coming off a NBL-redwood title last Fall.

Brown is a two-way star for Carmel and has good size, strength and a strong build for his age. He is an elite downfield threat with long strides and covers a ton of ground in space while a very strong pass catcher and can make plays in traffic. He is twitchy for his size, shows good breaking ability to the ball and can shake off tacklers in space and traffic. Brown is one of the more under-rated kids in the entire northern California region, and is a no brainer Div. I kid at the next level.

Dennis Syderst
Syders is one of the best kept secrets across the SJS and had a tremendous Junior season in 2023. He is an elite playmaker that can line up in the backfield and in the slot, and is a very explosive runner with the ball in his hands while able to make people miss in the hole and has some wiggle in tight windows. Syders is also a very natural pass catcher with tracking ability over the top, and knows how to beat zone coverage and settle downfield. He should have plenty of D3+ suitors as he goes through his Senior season.
