He is a violent striker out of his stance that explodes through his hips and shows inside hand placement and a strong lockout at the point of attack. He does a good job at controlling his gap and is able to shed blocks quickly and collapse the pocket from the inside. Orosco is very technically sound off the ball and shows quick block recognition abilities, proper angles backside and is extremely powerful at the point of attack and can provide a variety of power rush moves while able to quickly reset the line of scrimmage against the run. He currently has a offer from San Diego State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197254"],"_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-67c623ded4c98"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Galloway is one of the top defenders in his class across the state of California, and is a powerful edge prospect that has a balanced play-style at the defensive end position. He is a true athlete and explosive off the ball with a strong first step twitch, shows he can win with a violent strike and long arm at the point of attack and is very stout against the run while able to set the edge and take on bigger blockers with ease. He plays with a tremendous motor and good pad level while showing backside pursuit, quick play recognition and fly's around, seemingly always around the ball. Galloway has the frame and build to continue adding the right weight over the next two years, and as he grows should develop into a true 4-3 edge or possibly a outside linebacker in the right system at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /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='1698847' first='Giovanni' last='Hodge']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"225","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"5926","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Grant","_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-67c623ded4afc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hodge is one of the top edge prospects in the 2027 class, and is a no brainer to enter into our update in the next cycle. He is a violent striker off the edge with a explosive first step and natural band around the corner. He shows he can win at the point of attack with both speed and power and has a variety of various moves at his disposal. He collapses the pocket quickly and can counter we needed while very stout against the run, exploding through his hips and winning with power and leverage of the point of attack. With still two years left in his prep career he will only continue to grow and develop. Currently he holds offers from ASU, Cal, Colorado State and Sacramento State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611428"],"_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-67c623ded4b80"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Strawn is a very balanced prospect against the run and when pass rushing and has the ideal frame and size for the FBS level. He will continue packing on weight to his frame and has tons of growth potential over the next two years for Corona Centennial, and should see a slew of offers come in this Spring. He is another kid that shows good explosion off the edge and can win at the point of attack with his hand violence and leverage. He shows a variety of speed and power rush moves at his disposal and also shows quick play recognition and redirect abilities backside. Strawn currently does not hold any offers, but that should soon change heading into his Junior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611425"],"_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-67c623ded4c37"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson has good size for the position and offers position versatility, able to move inside or play out on the edge. He shows a nice first step twitch off the ball and can quickly reset the LOS while able to redirect and make plays into the backfield. He plays with good leverage, a strong initial strike and can take on double teams/reaches with ease. Heading into his Junior season, he should continue adding mass to his frame and has plenty of growth potential moving forward in this 2027 class. Currently, he checks into our WL rankings and is one of the top pass rushers returning across the region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
