The #5-overall and #1-RB in the class was Liberty's leading rusher as a sophomore with over 850 yards and 13 TDs on 170 carries. He's a balanced, well-rounded back that can make multiple defenders miss with flashy elusiveness and finishes runs with downhill power and physicality. Does a good job of staying square, can cut to space with his lateral agility, and possesses the burst and acceleration to breakaway from defenders. Sanelivi added offers from Michigan St. and Memphis late last year and should continue to add to that list this offseason.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After a long and great conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/KbTheStable?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KbTheStable</a> i am humble and honored to announce i've received a scholarship to play football at Michigan State University!💚🤍 <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/blessed?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#blessed</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Libertyotball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Libertyotball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/muraco_lhs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@muraco_lhs</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MrY2thab?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MrY2thab</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://t.co/ypWZt9AjJI">pic.twitter.com/ypWZt9AjJI</a></p>&mdash; ezra sanelivi (@theezrasanelivi) <a href="https://twitter.com/theezrasanelivi/status/1856845854923182488?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 13, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1354358"],"_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-6792be5307b22"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Grant was a new addition to PRZ NV's 2027 RB rankings after a strong first season with Bishop Gorman. The 6'/200 sophomore totaled 472 yards and 4 TDs on 53 carries (8.9 avg) while splitting reps with a pair of seniors. He's a high-level athlete that possesses all the physical tools to develop into a future 3-down back at the D-I level. Quick and bouncy around the LOS, possesses great contact balance, and shows promising receiving skills out of the backfield. Grant added offers from Arizona and Michigan St. this month and holds other offers from Penn St., Utah, and Memphis.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Thank you! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachOglesby?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachOglesby</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RealCoachCarter?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RealCoachCarter</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBrennan?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBrennan</a> <br>Extremely Blessed to receive a Scholarship Offer to the University of Arizona <a href="https://twitter.com/ArizonaFBall?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ArizonaFBall</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BishopGormanFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BishopGormanFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BlairAngulo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlairAngulo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coach_Tgrant?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coach_Tgrant</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/5thquarternews?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@5thquarternews</a> <a href="https://t.co/EdFQe1VXqw">pic.twitter.com/EdFQe1VXqw</a></p>&mdash; Terrance Grant. jr (@TerranceJr) <a href="https://twitter.com/TerranceJr/status/1881890800742838597?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 22, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["559804"],"_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-6792be5307b6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kaheaku spent some time with both JV and varsity for Bishop Gorman as a sophomore and has shown flashes of a future standout for the state's top team. He's a strong, physical athlete at 5'9"/175 that shows a promising blend of power, quickness, and balance with the ball in his hands. Also played some LB in 2024. Kaheaku has the makings of a future breakout prospect with the obvious upside he brings to the table.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">sophomore season highlights <a href="https://t.co/hqbTSJH6kN">https://t.co/hqbTSJH6kN</a><a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BlairAngulo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlairAngulo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GusMcNair009?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GusMcNair009</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/VaBranch?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@VaBranch</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BishopGormanFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BishopGormanFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/coachroyotis?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@coachroyotis</a></p>&mdash; danten kaheaku (@dantenkaheaku4) <a href="https://twitter.com/dantenkaheaku4/status/1869128203048235149?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 17, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1596130"],"_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-6792be5307bb0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dixon broke out as the state's second-leading rusher among NV sophomores with over 1,400 yards and 18 TDs on 234 carries. He also caught 10 passes for 94 yards and a TD last season. Quick, elusive ball-carrier that made a habit of making defenders miss around the LOS and producing explosive gains on the ground. He's at his best when finding space out on the perimeter but flashed some ability to attack the hole between the OTs as a sophomore. Dixon will be one of the top returning playmakers to watch in 3A once the 2025 season rolls around. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/21743108/6761e5a61f6df31ac034bbf6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6792be5307d4f"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":[1733834],"_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-6792be5307d9a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Webb was a new addition to PRZ NV's 2027 rankings after leading Clark's offense in rushing with 445 yards and 6 TDs on 72 carries as a sophomore.
