At 6'3+ he has a long and lean build with the frame to continue packing on weight and is an obvious weight room guy right now. He has quick play recognition, triggers quickly on the edge and plays with violent hands at the POA when coming into the box. He is a sure tackler in space and in the box and has elite closing speed while seemingly comfortable in space and can add pass rush duties with bend, initial explosion and a variety of moves in his toolbox. Currently, he holds one offer from Boston College but is severely under-recruited. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/rockycummings22/status/1862965356958306590","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/rockycummings22/status/1862965356958306590 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["780462"],"_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-67e42bb61e54e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aguilar is one of the top linebackers in the state of California, and is a true outside linebacker with elite length, open field speed and fluidity in space. He is a violent hitter on the outside that flies well to the ball, explodes through contact at the POA and shows redirect abilities and backside pursuit. He also shows he can rush the passer off the edge with active hands, quick hips and collapses the pocket quickly off the edge. Aguilar shows solid hips in coverage while able to cover vertically and trigger into the flats, and has the ideal build, range and speed for the FBS level. Currently, he holds offers from Fresno State, SDSU, ASU, Cal, New Mexico. </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":"Leo Sahd","_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":"Point Loma","_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-67e42bb61ea8f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sahd offers position versatility at either outside linebacker/defensive end, but could find his home at the second level due to his leaner frame and length. He moves well for his size, has a quick first step and get-off while a natural bender around the edge with both speed and power rush moves to go underneath bigger blockers or win with leverage and hand strike. He shows he can cover the flats if needed, has disciplined eyes in zone coverage and has closing speed into the backfield while a high motor kid that has backside pursuit. Against the run, he shows quick block recognition, good pad level and a violent use of inside hands at contact and is a very balanced prospect on the edge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/leo_sahd34/status/1863393653160571107","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/leo_sahd34/status/1863393653160571107 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /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='1686081' first='Iosefa' last='Lealofi']","_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":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"235","_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":"Barstow","_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-67e42bb61ebc0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lealofi recently shut down his recruitment and committed to Sacramento State, and is one of the more explosive and active edge rushers in all of Southern California. He has a strong build and is a powerful prospect that has an elite get off, initial punch and natural bend around the corner to get underneath or go through blockers. He plays with heavy hands, a quick disengage and displays closing speed backside with plus COD abilities, especially for his size. He should find his home at inside linebacker in college, and is a versatile play maker that can be used in many different ways. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Sefa_Lealofi/status/1859513351765884942","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Sefa_Lealofi/status/1859513351765884942 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
