He's a pure football player with a strong well-built frame at 6'2” 230 lbs. He's got a versatile skillset that allows him to play all over the field and will easily transition to multiple positions at the college level depending on need and development. He's a violent and attacking football player on both sides of the ball for Clovis North. Possesses elite level natural playmaking ability and instincts in combination with his speed and athleticism. Also one of the top track and field athletes in the country winning state titles in both the shot put and discus. One of the few players in the top 100 that is uncommitted with 17 offers to pick from as of right now including P4 programs such as UCLA, Washington, Arizona, ASU, and Washington State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">17 Offers: Air Force, Arizona, ASU, Army, Boston College, BYU, Cal Poly, Fresno State, Harvard, Nevada, Princeton, SDSU, San Jose State, Washington, Washington State, UCLA, Yale</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/McKayMadsen/status/1741244300460269733","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/McKayMadsen/status/1741244300460269733 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158502"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a958146771f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Cal commit checks all the boxes colleges look for in an offensive lineman in terms of measurables, athleticism, and technical ability. Flashes great initial quickness to fire out of his stance and gain early positional leverage on the snap. 6'6” 305 lbs. he's got surprising mobility and bend in the hips/ankles. Shows he can run and use efficient footwork to pull across the LOS or get to the second level/perimeter. Love his ability to line up a defender and sustain a block in space by taking good angles and matching lateral movement. Accelerates his feet upon contact to drive opponents off their line but can also use his natural strength at the POA to overpower defenders. Stays in control with his feet inside his framework and in balance throughout the block. Committed to Cal in late June over seven other D1 offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">8 Offers: Cal, Washington State, Fresno State, NAU, Sacramento State, SDSU, UC Davis, Yale</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/mikeklisiewicz1/status/1727092644441133499","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/mikeklisiewicz1/status/1727092644441133499 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- 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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a9581467785"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Myers has always possessed plus natural athleticism and length but has continued to show good year over year improvement in his technical ability while adding good weight to his frame. Now at 6'3” 250 lbs. he's maintained his speed and explosiveness being quick off the ball and working off the edge to collapse the pocket. Plays hard with good leverage/pad level to redirect in the short area and chase the ball in pursuit. Great strength and power at the POA, he's able to bench press opponents off him to maintain separation and then shed contact. Good mix and variety of moves to beat blockers, can use his bend to dip around the edge, has a strong rip, and is athletic enough to spin/swim. Recruitment really took off after his junior season with eight D1 offers coming before committing to Oregon State in late June.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">8 Offers: Oregon State, SDSU, UC Davis, Air Force, Cornell, Fresno State, Washington State, Army</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JesseMyer9/status/1731095498826870784","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JesseMyer9/status/1731095498826870784 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1158485"],"_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":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66a95814677e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Active defender with an impressive frame with growth potential at 6'5” 215 lbs. to play the hybrid DE/OLB position. He's a dual sport athlete (football/track) that combines his movement skills/speed with his length to disrupt offenses as both a run stopper and pass rusher. Excels as a pass rusher where he can use his quickness and agility to beat blockers and close space on the QB while the play is still developing. Has the speed to run the field and chase down ball carriers sideline to sideline, ran a 10.9 100 meter in track. Brings strong contact on his tackles with good forward momentum and leverage to accelerate through the ball carrier. Tough to break once he gets his hands on you. Voted the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year for the Ocean League and racked up nine D1 offers before committing to Boise State in June.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">9 Offers: Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Campbell, Houston Christian, SDSU, San Jose State, UNLV, Washington State</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/lucien9holland/status/1725176949042290939","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/lucien9holland/status/1725176949042290939 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
