The 6'3"/195 WR from Carlsbad committed to Eastern Washington last week after picking up his first four offers, including two from D-I programs (Eastern Washington and Idaho). He put together a breakout senior season leading the team in all receiving categories with 49 catches for 750 yards and 6 TDs. He's a big, lengthy target that moves extremely fluid for his size and can make plays at all three levels of the field. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">100% COMMITTED✅<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/EKG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#EKG</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBestEWU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBestEWU</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/marcanderson_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@marcanderson_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Cbad_Football?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Cbad_Football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/EWUFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@EWUFootball</a> <a href="https://t.co/6QaY3qg336">pic.twitter.com/6QaY3qg336</a></p>&mdash; Connor Hawk (@Connor_Hawk9) <a href="https://twitter.com/Connor_Hawk9/status/1887376305596805361?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 6, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["780314"],"_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-67adbecaa6c21"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Makihele just picked up his first D-I offer from Old Dominion last week. San Marcos' junior QB put together his best season in his third year as starter for the Knights, completing 70% of his passes for over 3,400 yards and 44 TDs with only 9 INTs as a junior. He's a gifted passer with a live arm and a quick, natural release. Throws with accuracy to every area of the field and possesses all the physical tools to develop into a high-level distributor at the next level. Expect Makihele to continue to draw D-I offers and interest with the level of arm talent he offers.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">After an amazing conversation with <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachDeckODU?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachDeckODU</a> i am truly blessed to say i received my first D1 scholarship offer to Old Dominion University!! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AG2G?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AG2G</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoMonarchs?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GoMonarchs</a> <a href="https://t.co/3q0nz3Q3u9">pic.twitter.com/3q0nz3Q3u9</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='780314' first='Kreet' last='Makihele'] (@kreet_makihele) <a href="https://twitter.com/kreet_makihele/status/1886948405710348409?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 5, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Nico Jara","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"165","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2411","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Steele Canyon","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67adbecaa6d32"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jara picked up his first D-I offer from Northern Arizona at the start of February. The 5'11"/165 ATH out of Steele Canyon has quietly been putting his name on the radar as one of San Diego's most versatile athletes since his standout sophomore season. Impacts the game in all three phases as a WR, DB, and return specialist and consistently creates explosive plays with the ball in his hands. Smooth, fluid athlete that accelerates in a hurry and has the top-end speed to break away from the defense. Jara's a high-utility prospect that could make an early impact at the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I'm so grateful and blessed to receive my first division 1 football offer to Northern Arizona University <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoJacks?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GoJacks</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachPatArinze?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachPatArinze</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/LongerboneScott?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@LongerboneScott</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MATHLETICS4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MATHLETICS4</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachAdamClark?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachAdamClark</a> <a href="https://t.co/RWeFTIktDu">pic.twitter.com/RWeFTIktDu</a></p>&mdash; Nico Jara (@_NicoJara_) <a href="https://twitter.com/_NicoJara_/status/1885923951005905040?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 2, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='1683211' first='Kingston' last='Filo']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"220","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2496","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"El Camino","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67adbecaa6dd7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Filo just picked up his first D-I offer from Northern Arizona after showing promising flashes in his junior season for El Camino.

He offers tremendous physical upside as an edge defender in his frame (6'6"/210), range and mobility. Possesses the potential to develop into a dominant EDGE rusher as he continues to grow and develop.
