He is a great athlete for a size that is smooth downfield/covers a ton of ground quickly in his routes and has a huge catch radius with strong hands and body control when making contest catches. He has nice upside at the next level and should continue growing into a FCS+ tight end prospect with tremendous upside. Brekke is rated as another 3-star prospect per 247-Sports and holds a early offer from the University of Idaho.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611335"],"_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-679bef9b423a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Flowers checks into our rankings as the number seven prospect across Idaho and the top signal caller in the 2026 class. He is a very athletic pocket passer that does a great job of feeling pressure while able to throw downfield on the run and under duress. He has a strong arm, quick release and puts good zip on the ball while able to fit it into tight windows with great throw anticipation, leading his receivers open downfield. Overall the three star recruit is a complete passer and a no-brainer FCS+ caliber prospect that should be picking up his first offer sooner rather than later. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401583"],"_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-679bef9b423fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Byrd checks into our rankings as the number two tight end in the 2026 class and just inside the top ten overall across Idaho. Byrd has the ideal frame for the position at the next level at 6'5" and over 220 pounds and moves well for his size with a huge catch radius and is very physical with the ball in his hands, and looks for contact in the open field. He shows he can win on contested catches, box out smaller defenders while able to knife up-field quickly after the catch and is tough to bring down in the open field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["861721"],"_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-679bef9b4244e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Brant checks into our rankings as the number two overall quarterback in this class, and just inside the top ten overall. This is a loaded quarterback class with some elite talents at the position, and Brant is right there with the best of them and a no brainer FCS+ caliber quarterback. He has strong throwing mechanics, can zip the ball out quickly and on the run, while showing he can buy time with his legs and throw across his body without losing power. He throws a tight spiral and is a on time passer that leads his receivers open and away from defenders. He is another signal caller in Idaho that is ranked as a three-star prospect and currently holds one offer from Idaho state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611341"],"_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-679bef9b4248f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sweetwood is coming off a truly breakout Junior season campaign and has the ideal frame for the quarterback position. Checking into our rankings as a top three player at his position and inside the top ten overall, he was the 5-A player of the year in 2024 it is a no-brainer next level Kid coming off a state title win. He moves extremely well for his size, evading pressure off the edge and stepping up into the pocket while doing a nice job of keeping his eyes downfield under pressure. He throws a good ball both at the second and third level and understands throw anticipation and touch over the top. Overall, he is very technically sound as a passer and adds a running element to his game with his legs and buying time with great athleticism. He is a very intriguing prospect at the next level and should see his stock continue to rise this off-season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
