On the smaller side at 5'6"/135 but showed the type of quickness and agility coaches look for out of the slot. Created separation in 1v1s with crisp breakpoints and showed impressive body control adjusting to the ball. Led Redwood (Visalia) in receiving with 253 yards and a TD on 17 catches as a junior. With the skill development Jaramillo has shown and if he can continue to grow physically, he should continue to see his stock rise in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Performers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197385"],"_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-678da4db4668f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">In terms of raw upside, Williams led all WRs with the length and athleticism he possesses at 6'4"/170. Still growing into his lengthy frame but showed some promising traits as a vertical threat with his straight-line speed and elite catch radius. Smooth releaser at the LOS looked slick and deceptive setting up his breaks. Presents arguably the highest ceiling of any skill player at the camp with the physical tools he possesses. Williams picked up three offers from UNLV, Washington St., and Colorado St. and figures to add to that list this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1602878"],"_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-678da4db46745"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Johnson stood out as one of the most physical WRs at the PRZ CA Showcase on Sunday. The 6'1"/195 junior out of Rancho Mirage showed his ability to fight through contact and out-physical DBs at the catchpoint in 1v1s. Possesses a strong, well-developed frame, generates powerful speed/momentum attacking the third level, and finishes with aggressive hands. Totaled 900 all-purpose yards, 8 TDs, and 64 tackles as a junior for Rancho Mirage. Johnson's physical tools give him great upside with a full junior offseason ahead of him. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1604139"],"_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-678ec276c2383"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leeper presents unique upside in his size, length, and athleticism at 6'7"/210. Seems likely to develop into a future TE given his physical profile and would bring plenty of upside to the position in his WR-quality skillset. Did a good job of creating space for himself in 1v1s, used his body effectively to box out defenders, and gets in and out of his breaks suprising well for someone his size. Leeper picked up offers from Penn, NAU, and UNLV in 2024 with more likely headed his way in the near future. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1605240"],"_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-678da4db467a3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Russell was the youngest of the WR top performers at Sunday's event. The freshman out of Nevada showed his raw skillset and promising physical development at 6'1"/160. He's an athletic, young prospect that flashed his competitiveness and playmaking ability in 1v1s with a mostly older group of DBs. Room for growth in his route-running and hands as a pass-catcher which should come with time and reps. Russell put himself on the 2028 radar with his strong performance and will be a Nevada prospect to watch moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
