Five Small School Kids Who Deserve An Offer

There's a handful of players at some smaller schools across the state that could be difference makers in a college program down the line. Take a look at five small school kids that deserve an offer:   [player_tooltip player_id='1145528' first='JJ' last='Brutus'], ATH, ALA-West Foothills '25   I can't fathom why Brutus doesn't hold an offer yet. He's a 6'1" 210lb athlete that put up 22.5 sacks, 30 hurries, 70 tackles, 307 yards rushing and 5 TD's. He is a sure division 1 talent, and his film speaks for itself. He brings a ton of juice to that ALAWF defense flashing competitive toughness and a mean streak. Excellent play speed and play strength with good bend and flexibility, making it impossible for OT's to have a chance. Lightning quick burst off the LOS and possesses a powerful initial strike to then set up whatever move he feels like. Right now, Brutus is the biggest hidden gem in the state.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/jjbrutus24/status/1797512845384626415 </div></figure>   Nathan Harris, QB, Santa Cruz Valley '25   Harris is entering his senior year as a potential OPOY candidate in 2A. I love his footwork and pocket mobility, as he does a great job stepping up and hanging in the pocket while going through his progression downfield. He shows the ability to deliver throws from different arm angles while off platform, and is very accurate with the ball. If he has your average time to throw, he can sit back and piece up defenses as he also flashes the ability to move DB's with his eyes. Looking for another big year from him after he put up almost 2,400 yards and 35 total TD's a year ago.     Kaleb Burras, QB, Heritage Academy Laveen '25   I've talked about Burras before, and he continues to do all the right things and trend in the direction of picking up his first offer. Gifted all around athlete that is a big play threat when he takes off, as he possesses excellent vision to identify and burst through narrow lanes and showcases good top end speed in the second level. A legit game changer that possesses a ton of raw ability and could translate to multiple positions at the next level, and is a threat to have on the field anywhere.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/QBBubba_Burras/status/1799594987937837544 </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id='954414' first='Brock' last='Haws'], DL, Pima '25   Haws plays like your old school, hard nosed, nasty defensive lineman with an excellent motor. He racked up 20 sacks, 27 hurries, 40 TFL's and 72 total tackles. He matured immensely from his sophomore to junior year, so I expect him to do the same as h enters his senior season. He sizes up with a sturdy, compact frame at 6'1" 225lbs and is an incredibly strong kid that translates the wright room to play strength. Powerful lower half with violent hands to frequently explode through the OL and can deliver a huge hit if he's squared up.     Aeden Calini, WR, Highland Prep '25   Calini is a cheat code with his 6'5" 190lb frame. He possesses natural ball skills with a large catch radius and good leaping ability, making him a sure win for those contested catches. He is the example of a pure raw talent, as he just lets his athleticism take control over any opponent. He could improve his craft and burst at the top of his routes, but given his athleticism, frame+length, catch radius, and ball skills, I think Calini can get into a college program and develop rapidly to be a threat. If you're a DIII or NAIA program, you need to be all over this kid.
