<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Alvarez is one of the premier TE prospects in the state. At 6'5” 250 lbs. he excels as both a run blocker and receiver. He shows good contact balance and hand usage as a blocker and is able to find soft spots in coverage box out defenders at the catch point. Soft hands and gets square up the field after the catch. Size/strength make him a tough tackle once he gets going downfield.</p>

<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Massive size and frame at 6'8” 325 lbs. He's continued to show year over year improvement throughout his career. Possesses brute strength to finish opponents to the ground and also has the mobility to work laterally and stay in front. Length makes him extremely tough to work around as a defender.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1158479' first='Braylon' last='Cardwell'], WR, Mount Miguel – Committed on 6/26/24</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>10 Offers: San Diego State, Arizona, Boise State, Cal, Central Michigan, Colorado State, Northern Arizona, Oregon State, San Jose State, Washington State</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>April 2024 Evaluation: Cardwell is a versatile athlete whose skillset transitions well to both sides of the ball at WR and DB. At 6'3” 180 lbs. he uses his length well to play the ball at the high point with good timing, extension, and leaping ability. Possesses a lot of upside as a major D1 DB prospect where he is smooth with his movement and footwork. He transitions well out of his backpedal and into his break using his short area burst to close space with the ball in the air. A physical DB that can jam receivers at the LOS to force them off their line and gain positional leverage from the snap. He's patient limiting wasted movement but his reactionary quickness and speed allows him to stay in phase at all three levels. Strong genes, brother Byron Cardwell was a top RB recruit in the 2023 class that racked up 23 offers before committing to Oregon and then transferring to Cal. Recruiting stock has continued to rise since the new year bringing in nine D1 offers including four P4 programs.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1158500' first='Delon' last='Craft'], OL, Salesian – Committed on 6/24/24</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>6 Offers: San Diego State, Cal Poly, Montana, Northern Arizona, Portland State, UC Davis</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Outstanding athlete at 6'6” 280 lbs. with great growth potential in his frame to add weight as he develops. He's a natural bender and shows good speed as he works to the second level. Gets great vertical push on the snap with a quick and powerful first step. High upside and potential given his length and natural athleticism.</p>

<p>Duarte has skyrocketed up recruiting boards this offseason pulling in all five of his offers before committed to the Aztecs who were the first to offer him.

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Pritchard is the #13 DB prospect in the state and inside the top 100 overall. He's a long safety at 6'2” 185 lbs. that possesses great range and instincts. High football IQ, he sees the field and puts himself in position to be a difference maker. Diagnoses the play quickly and triggers to the ball aggressively out of his break. Brings heavy contact in run support and after the catch.</p>

<p>First Team All-State selection after leading the state in sacks as a junior with 18.5 adding 40 TFL and 140 total tackles. He's an active defender at 6'4” 240 lbs. with the size/frame to play anywhere on the DL as he develops. Can beat blockers with an explosive first step out of his stance or use his strength to engage and then shed. High effort guy that is relentless in pursuit.</p>

<p>One of the fastest rising prospects in the state pulling in 11 of his 12 offers during the spring contact period.

He's savvy in how he releases off blockers and flashes good variety and command of different moves.</p>
