He's down to five schools (<strong>Alabama</strong>, <strong>LSU</strong>, <strong>Georgia</strong>, <strong>Michigan</strong>, and <strong>Notre</strong> <strong>Dame</strong>) after picking up 15 P-4 offers this year and is now set to announce his commitment this Saturday 7/20. He's a rare talent at the WR position with a unique blend of size, skill, and body control at 6'6"/195. He totaled 8 TDs on just 15 catches as a junior and should be in line for more volume this season with the graduation of some of last season's top receiving options. Whichever program lands Meadows' commitment will be getting a top-10 receiver in the country.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BishopGormanFB/status/1811651319859392969","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/BishopGormanFB/status/1811651319859392969 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1111025"],"_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-6698db9973a53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buchanan was one of the biggest risers in this cycle of rankings after picking up major momentum on the recruiting trail this offseason. The 6'4"/200 ATH picked up over 10 D-I offers before announcing his commitment to Utah last month. He's a highly versatile playmaker (WR/S) that possesses the size and athleticism to play multiple spots on either side of the ball at the next level. Buchanan's versatility and physical upside solidify him as a top-10 prospect in Nevada's 2025 class. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_JJBuchanan_/status/1804891960215507065","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/_JJBuchanan_/status/1804891960215507065 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820625"],"_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-6698db9973a9c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Craig leapfrogged the DB rankings into the #1 spot with the D-I interest he generated this offseason. The 6'3"/185 S picked up five D-I offers before announcing his commitment to Oregon St. in June. He's a long, versatile defender that's shown the ability to play both CB and S effectively. He's rangy and physical in the secondary and continues to show great development in his overall skillset. Craig's one of the top defensive talents in Vegas to watch this upcoming season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Sean_Craig01/status/1804954416459444429","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/Sean_Craig01/status/1804954416459444429 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820623"],"_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-6698db9973ae1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Combs made the jump from the WL to the #11-ranked LB in the latest update to the Nevada 2025 rankings. His stock is on the rise after putting together a massively productive junior season with 100+ total tackles, 18 TFLs, and 4.5 sacks which helped him pick up his first offer from Nevada last month. He's a physical run-stuffer between the OTs with promising upside in his size (6'3"/220) and range at ILB. Combs- the reigning 2A DPOY- is one of the top defenders in northern Nevada heading into the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ColinCombs45/status/1803496419753599063","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/ColinCombs45/status/1803496419753599063 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1132063"],"_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-6698db9973b25"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Parnell continues to rise Nevada's 2025 rankings as a sleeper WR prospect. He's stayed busy this offseason showing promising skill and athletic development at recent camps after leading Mojave in catches (30), receiving yards (470), and TDs (7) as a junior. He holds good length and build to his 6'2"/180 frame and competes at the highest point in 1v1 situations. He has strong hands in traffic and showed some physicality and versatility at TE last season. Parnell's one of the top unoffered 2025 WRs in Nevada ahead of his senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ParnellPeyton/status/1802399613804228862","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/ParnellPeyton/status/1802399613804228862 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
