The senior RB/DB has continued to be a bright spot in the team's 1-3 start, rushing for 100+ yards and 1+ TDs in every game so far. Nevil's a dynamic athlete that's continued to prove his status as one of the top two-way players in the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/httpdam3/status/1832815010135130182","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/httpdam3/status/1832815010135130182 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1112457"],"_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-66dfcbf989584"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nevada's current leader in receiving TDs continued his impressive start with 7 catches for 153 yards and 3 TDs in Boulder City's 43-42 shootout win over Sunrise Mountain. The 6'/160 WR is proving to be an explosive downfield weapon this season. He's shown impressive verticality, competitiveness, and ball-tracking in 1v1 high-point situations and possesses translatable skills on the ball in the defensive secondary. Welbourne's stock is on the rise early into his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/EastonWelbourne/status/1832474491076931733","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/EastonWelbourne/status/1832474491076931733 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820683"],"_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-66dfcbf9895c8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Oliver recorded two INTs and returned them both for TDs in Legacy's impressive 28-13 win over a 5A opponent, Desert Pines. He came into the season ranked as the #3-WR in PRZ NV's 2025 rankings after posting 780 yards and 7 TDs as a junior, and has looked even more impressive on the defensive side of the ball with a state-leading 5 INTs through four games this season. Oliver- who holds offers from Nevada, UNLV, NAU, and Portland St.- added an offer from Utah Tech after his impressive performance.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_DDomo1/status/1832564536467238970","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/_DDomo1/status/1832564536467238970 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820682"],"_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-66dfcbf989609"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Glasper posted his most productive outing of the early-season with 8 catches for 128 yards and 2 TDs, including the game-winning TD, in Green Valley's 25-24 victory over Basic. The Oregon-St. commit showed his elite playmaking and athleticism with the ball in his hands on mulitple explosive catch-and-runs. Glasper should continue to be one of the most productive two-way players in the state after a relatively quiet start to the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16444094/66dc7b41931882a42943edcc' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66dfcbf98976d"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1099916"],"_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-66dfcbf9897b3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Birnbaum put his versatility on display totaling over 150 yards and 3 TDs in Truckee's 44-22 win over St. Vincent de Paul (CA). The senior RB averaged 5 YPC on the ground and caught two passes for 86 yards and a TD. Birnbaum proved to be one of the most versatile playmakers in northern Nevada last season with over 1,100 yards rushing and 23 TDs on the ground and another 800 yards and 9 TDs receiving. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JosephBirn56441/status/1832978521406537987","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/JosephBirn56441/status/1832978521406537987 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["820679"],"_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-66dfcbf9897f3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Williams completed 13/20 passes for 272 yards and 3 TDs in Incline's 45-26 victory over Portola (CA). The senior QB also flashed his athleticism avoiding tacklers and reversing field on a rushing TD in the redzone. Williams is a smooth, mobile passer with underrated arm talent. He showed his natural throwing mechanics, escapability from the pocket, and his ability to find receivers on the run in the strong outing. Williams is a QB to keep an eye on in northern Nevada this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16215634/66de60406c13ae72e610589b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66dfd5e2d76d8"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1110893"],"_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-66dfd5e2d91b0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bonnett had one of the most productive statlines of the weekend totaling 208 yards and a TD on just 4 catches in Foothill's 28-12 win over Silverado. The 6'/175 WR's most impressive play came on a deep post where he attacked the ball and went over-the-top of two defenders in traffic. Bonnett should continue to find ample opportunities as one of the top playmakers for Foothill's offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18075716/66dc9ad8931882a429441001' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66dfd5e2d91f9"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Top Performers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1216304' first='Kieran' last='Daniel']<em> (ATH / 2026 / Somerset Academy Losee)</em><strong> </strong>-<strong> </strong>20 carries, 277 yards, TDs; 3 catches 107 yards, 2 TDs &nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1082682' first='Adrian' last='Holmes']<strong> </strong><em>(DL / 2025 / Sierra Vista) </em>-<strong> </strong>10 total tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFLs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Zarione Henderson </strong><em>(RB / 2026 / Legacy) </em>-<strong> </strong>22 carries, 125 yards, 2 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>MJay Tauala </strong><em>(QB / 2026 / Clark) </em>-<em> </em>15/15, 415 yards, 3 TDs&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='820767' first='Albert' last='Tuitele']<strong> </strong><em>(LB / 2025 / Mojave) </em>-<strong> </strong>19 total tackles, 5 TFLs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Malahkai Berry (</strong><em>RB / 2025 / Shadow Ride) </em>-<em> </em>18 carries, 141 yards, 2 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Christian Rey </strong><em>(RB / 2025 / Carson) </em>-<strong> </strong>17 carries, 144 yards, 3 TDs&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1544593' first='Braylon' last='Wilson']</strong><em> (QB / 2026 / Reno) </em>-<strong> </strong>17/31, 305 yards, 4 TDs, 17 rush, 58 yards</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1644999' first='Chase' last='Langbehn']</strong><em> (WR / 2026 / Reno) </em>-<em> </em>3 catches, 124 yards, 2 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1330855' first='Brenton' last='Weston']</strong> <em>(ATH / 2025 / Douglas)</em> - 4 catches, 188 yards, 2 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Jayden Abbate</strong> <em>(WR / 2025 / Incline)</em> - 6 catches, 123 yards, TD</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='820623' first='Colin' last='Combs']</strong><em> (LB / 2025 / Incline) </em>-<em> </em>11 total tackles, INT, TFL</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1608589' first='Simote' last='Tupou']</strong><em><strong> </strong>(DL / 2028 / Pinecrest Academy Sloan Canyon)</em> - 10 total tackles, 2 sacks, 4 TFLs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
