He's an athletically-gifted CB with tremendous upside in his freakish length on the perimeter and has shown the versatility to cover both man and zone effectively as a multi-year starter. He plays with his eyes and advanced instincts in zone, is disruptive with his length in bump-and-run, and possesses the speed to run downfield with receivers. Martin- who's also shown explosive playmaking with the ball in his hands as both a WR and KR- should continue to generate FCS offers and potentially some FBS interest in the near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17861527/66e5c468c26f20d224caf7db' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ed0e602e70e"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Parker Vanderburgh ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"155","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Grossmont","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ecbc8ee7843"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vanderburgh's putting together a breakout senior campaign having already improved his junior production with nearly 500 yards receiving and 7 TDs through Grossmont's first three games. He's shown a strong WR skillset as a vertical threat with his deceptive straight-line speed and ability to track the ball downfield. He's still developing as a route-runner but showed noticeable improvement as a separator in his recent standout performance vs. Mira Mesa (10 catches, 133 yards, 2 TDs). Vanderburgh's impressive start to the season helped him generate his first offer from NAIA Culver-Stockton this week. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ParkVanderburgh/status/1832465401407795533","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/ParkVanderburgh/status/1832465401407795533 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1422866"],"_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-66eb756f76122"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Spencer's been a standout defender in the Cathedral Catholic secondary in the team's 4-1 start. The 5'11"/170 perimeter CB has looked more developed athletically and skill-wise since his productive junior campaign with the Dons. He's a quick-footed defender that can stay in-phase with WRs with his natural speed, agility, and ability to sink his hips and drive on the break. He's a committed tackler in space, operates with efficient/coordinated footwork, and has shown ability to play both man and zone effectively. Spencer's an under-the-radar CB that should start to see his recruiting interest pick up with the senior season he's putting together.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/joshspencer2025/status/1834256987343012170","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/joshspencer2025/status/1834256987343012170 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Avondre Kelly","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Francis Parker","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ed0e602e8cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kelly's averaging over 200 rushing YPG with 7 TDs through Francis Parker's first three games and just added an offer from University of Chicago last week. The 5'10"/185 senior RB is a quick, physical playmaker out of the backfield that can rack up yards-after-contact with his strong contact balance and churning leg drive. He can build up a head of steam getting north-south, is fast on his feet, and doesn't shy away from contact. He posted a massively productive outing in a week-2 win over Meadows (NV) with over 300 yards and 4 TDs on 22 carries. Kelly- who's also posted 18 tackles and an INT on defense- is on pace to finish among the most productive rushers in the San Diego Section this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/AvondreKelley/status/1830755825809531009","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/AvondreKelley/status/1830755825809531009 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kai Ingold","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"La Costa Canyon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ed0e602e84e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ingold is one of several prospects on the rise for one of the most impressive teams in San Diego County through the early part of the season. The 5'11"/180 DB has shown his versatility as a defensive playmaker totaling 17 tackles, 2 sacks, and an INT from his CB spot. He's a fast and physical perimeter defender that looks to make aggressive tackles in space and closes on the ball with quickness and short-range burst. He's active with his eyes as a zone defender, plays under control, and moves light on his feet. Ingold's putting his name on San Diego's 2025 DB radar with the quality he's showing as a senior.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/IngoldKai/status/1832851430522470473","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/IngoldKai/status/1832851430522470473 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Easton Sanchez","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"220","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mount Miguel","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-66ed0e602e943"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanchez has been a disruptive defender for Mount Miguel's defensive front-seven with 4 TFLs and a team-leading 2.5 sacks through four games. He's a physical athlete at 6'/220 that's made plays as both an interior run defender and an outside rusher early into his senior season. He uses his quickness and lateral agility to out manuever slower-moving IOL and possesses the speed to penetrate the backfield off the edge. Sanchez is a DL to keep an eye on the rest of the season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/eastonsanchez10/status/1835479998809165969","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/eastonsanchez10/status/1835479998809165969 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
