He is a very fluid passer with a strong arm vertically, puts good zip on the ball in tight windows and steps into his throws while not afraid to take a shot in the pocket. The '27 prospect was offered by ASU earlier this week, and UNLV earlier last Spring and should be one of the main names to note in the '27 quarterback class across northern California.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1382580"],"_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-67229bf947bae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Larson has quickly been establishing himself as a role player on this loaded Folsom offense as a Sophomore, and is previewing what is yet to come over the next two years for him. He has great length, is a long strider downfield with a huge catch radius and can go up and win on jump balls with strong hands and tracking abilities. Larson can stretch the field, is physical near the LOS when getting off man coverage and is a big and physical playmaker on the outside that is one of the top '27 receivers across northern California. This past week, he picked up his second offer from ASU, and should be a multi-offer guy by the time his prep career comes to a close and is in line for a huge off-season this Spring. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197252"],"_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-67229bf947f2f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Vaetoe is a tremendous athlete for his size and is one of the top Sophomore defensive line prospects across California. He is extremely violent at the point of attack with his hands and shows good chest control and consistent lockout while also able to two gap and violently shed without giving up ground. He wins with good initial power and leverage while flashing a quick first step and plays with a high motor when pursuing backside and downfield. Still developing technically, he has tremendous interior length and upside at the next level and should see his recruitment explode this Spring. He was offered by Oregon State last week and is a no brainer 10+ offer guy by the time it's all said and done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /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":"[player_tooltip player_id='1611249' first='Bayon' last='Harris']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"200","_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":"Central","_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-67229bf947e9e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Harris is the next up-and-coming big time tight end prospect across the central valley. He is a long and rangy playmaker that can stretch the field over the top, is physical near the line of scrimmage and has a huge catch radius and strong hands at the point of attack. He can win with high point abilities when boxing out smaller defenders and is just scratching the surface of his full potential. As he moves through the next two seasons, he will only continue to pack on more weight to his frame and should be hauling in plenty of offers this Spring and Winter when coaches are on the road. He recently picked up his first offer from the MWC in Colorado State, and should see a slew of others come his way in the coming months. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["976945"],"_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-67229bf947c28"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Byrn is one of the top players across the north bay and plays on both sides of the ball for one of the best teams in the north coast section. He is a violent player at the point of attack with a strong initial punch, consistent leg drive through contact and shows quick block recognition and redirect abilities when collapsing the pocket. He projects as a defensive end at the next level and has a frame to continue to pack on more weight and mass throughout his college career. The Windsor standout has recently seen his recruitment pick up with offers from Lewis and Clark and Pacific University. It would not be surprising if other D3+ opportunities come his way as we move through the post season and into winter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /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":"Tanner Boyd","_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":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"210","_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":"Central Michigan","_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-67229bf947d69"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Boyd is one of the more violent and hard nosed runners across the SJS, and is having a tremendous Senior season so far. He is a bruising runner that looks for contact in the hole, shows tremendous contact balance and leg drive through contact while able to bounce off tacklers and gets vertical in a hurry. The bruising back currently holds 6 offers, and was recently offered by Central Michigan earlier last week. He is one of the best available backs across the region and is a name to keep an eye on as we move closer to the first national signing day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
