Colorado 3A Offensive Ballers

Today I will be diving into the 3A offensive ballers! 3A is an exciting class full of tantalizing prospects. I wanted to give a spotlight on the 2026 class. Let's get into it!    Pisciotta was 2nd in junior receiving yardage. The 6'3 185-pound WR/FS had 56 receptions for 985 yards and 10 touchdowns. On the defensive side, he had 19 total tackles (8 solo, 3 assisted) 4 INT, 2 PD, and 2 FR. If he was on a 4A or 5A team, he'd be the number 1 WR on that team. This kid can ball. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and good jumping. His ability to accelerate, decelerate, back to acceleration is phenomenal. Pisciotta has very good release against both off coverage and press jam. Consistently beating the DB at the LOS. First play on his highlight reel, is him having a 1-handed grab in traffic and bringing it to the house. Very good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and play strength. He fights through contact during the route and succeeds. Very good ball tracking skills. Very good catching. He'll jump up and come down with the contested catch. Holds onto the ball after taking a big hit. He bounced off and kept going. Home run speed. His blocking is stellar. He looks very engaged and brings a tenacity to him. I'm very impressed with his film and play in all aspects. Mark my words, Pisciotta will be playing on Saturdays.     Munson can play it all, the athlete played as RB, QB, and LB. During this time, Munson led all junior 3A players in rushing. 143 carries for 1248 yards and 12 touchdowns, 15 receptions for 219 yards and 2 touchdowns, 37/71 for 680 yards and 5 TDs, 6 INT, 61 total tackles (35 solo, 26 assisted), 8 TFL, 3 sacks, 1 FF. He is everywhere. Majority of the time when he was lined up as QB, he'd be a rusher, however he can take it and throw it. Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, balance, good speed, and change of direction. Munson has very good vision as a running back to identify holes and maneuver through the defense. As a linebacker, he uses that same skill to ID gaps and rush leading to a TFL. He has good catching out of the backfield too. Once he gets lose, Munson uses his homerun speed to create big gains. He is a very exciting prospect that should have colleges salivating at the mouth with his versatility.     Leading all 3A junior QBs in passing yards and touchdowns, Herrera made his mark on Pueblo South. Went 165/258 for 2480 yards, a 64% completion rate with 30 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. On the ground, he rushed 65 times for 174 yards and 1 touchdown. Herrera played as a DB too, totaling 33 tackles (24 solo, 8 assisted) and 3 pass deflections. Herrera's very good throw power stands out to me when I put on the film. He can launch the ball in the air with ease, and can make all the throws needed for a QB. He has a good release paired with very good ball placement skills. If his WR is running, he'll throw it in stride. If the WR has defenders on him, he'll throw it high for the contested catch. Very fluid hips. He has very good mental processing. Herrera keeps his eyes downfield with pressure, going through his progressions to find the open man. He doesn't hold onto the ball taking meaningless sacks as well. His performance as DB can't be understated. He brings a tenacity to the field, and has good tackling. Another exciting 2026 prospect to watch out for.     Leading all 3A junior WRs in receiving yardage and touchdowns is Mr. Washer. Washer stands tall at 6'6 190-pounds and uses his big body to moss defensive backs. Throughout the season, he had 46 receptions for 1049 yards and 13 touchdowns. Washer has good athletic ability due to very good speed, jumping, good acceleration, and change of direction. He has a solid release at the line of scrimmage. Good separation quickness due to play strength and mental processing. Fights through contact during the route or will sit in the zone void waiting patiently. Very good ball tracking skills. Very good body control/adjustments. He adjusts his body to where the ball is thrown. If it is thrown low, he gets low. Very good catching, especially contested. He'll extend his very lengthy arms, using suction hands to pluck the ball out of the air. Uses his big body and strength to overpower smaller DBs. I can see him transitioning to tight end, and demolish the middle of the field. You can't teach height, and I would expect him to be on colleges' radars.     Freeman was 2nd in Junior rushing yardage. The 6'0 175-pound RB/MLB had 178 carries for 1174 yards and 10 touchdowns. He got some action as a linebacker in 4 games wracking up 14 total tackles (7 solo, 7 assisted) 1 TFL, and 1 sack. Freeman has good athletic ability due to his very good acceleration, speed, good change of direction and balance. He uses his good vision at the line of scrimmage to identify which hole to attack. He uses jump cuts to go quickly move from 1 to the other. Freeman is a physical back. He thrives with putting his shoulder down and trucking through the defender. Even though he excels in between the tackles, he also uses his athletic ability to create mismatches on the edge. Uses his home run speed to run past the 2nd and 3rd level defenders. Freeman is another exciting prospect coming out of 3A.
