He has elite track speed downfield and is a natural receiver with strong hands, good tracking abilities over the top and can make contested catches after creating seperation downfield. He shows the ability to win on 50/50 balls and runs precise routes while able to get off press-man coverage on the outside. Defensively, he is a long prospect with natural instincts, quick breaking abilities and is a no brainer power five prospect that should be a 10+ offer guy by the time it's all said and done. He holds offers from Arizona, Cal and UNLV. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JalenFordF150/status/1873063919214051634","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/JalenFordF150/status/1873063919214051634 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598343"],"_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-6785b70392d5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Turner is one of the top 2026 prospects across the Sacramento region as we move through this off-season, and is a no brainer next level guy that should start to see his stock rise as he attends camps and showcases through the spring and summer. He is a long and rangy player with outstanding instincts and ball skills with return abilities and consistently makes big plays with the ball in his hands. He shows disciplined eyes in man coverage, fluid hips in transition and is not afraid to come up in run support. Turner checks into our rankings as a top 25 ATH and inside the 200 overall after coming off a stellar Junior season for Granite Bay. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/luldt8_/status/1833189056139956548","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/luldt8_/status/1833189056139956548 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1518092"],"_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-6785b70392dc8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ondricek is one of the more dynamic athletes across the Bay Area regardless of class, and can play multiple position on both sides of the ball. He has elite return abilities, open field speed and can create seperation downfield. From his receiver position, he has strong hands, good tracking abilities and can get off press coverage while able to break tackles in the open field and make plays in space. He displays outstanding contact balance and body control at the point of attack, and offers tremendous position versatility at the next level. Checking into our WL rankings, he is a no brainer next level kid and should see some offers come his way by the time he graduates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/IanOndricek/status/1877391669441474590","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/IanOndricek/status/1877391669441474590 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1422553"],"_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-6785b70392e26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hawkins also checks into our watch list rankings for ATH's in this 2026 class across California, and is coming off a impressive Junior season campaign for Roseville. Although a bit undersized, he is one of the regions top safeties and can cover a ton of ground in the back end. He shows closing speed, open field range and is a sure tackler in space while coming up and running the alley to make tackles near the line of scrimmage. He also shows he is a natural peddler, can play the deep middle with disciplined eyes and ball skills when breaking on receivers. Overall, he is a very balanced safety against both the pass and the run and will be one of the top defenders returning across the SJS next Fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/duanehawkinsFB/status/1818172704606052427","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/duanehawkinsFB/status/1818172704606052427 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
