<p class="text-gray-700">Garrison is one of the top players across northern California that no one seems to know about and projects as either an OLB or back at the next level. He is a longer framed runner but has rare downfield speed and is a true North and South home-run hitter. He is a long strider that covers a ton of ground in the clear and forces defenders to take poor angles and is always looking for contact in the hole and in space/runs through arm and ankle tackles with ease. He is a violent runner with good body control, contact balance and leg drive through contact while also showing some short area twitch and the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and quickly knife up-field. He will excel in the right system at the next level and is an exceptional athlete with a rare combination of size and speed. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Simon has elite length for the defensive back position, and is one of the top two-way athletes in the entire central valley. He has fluid hips in transition, great recovery length and speed and has natural ball skills and breaks quickly when balls are in the air. He can cover a ton of ground quickly in space and he's not afraid to come up and make tackles at the line of scrimmage in run support or out on the edge. He is a definite college caliber prospect and has been flying under the radar but has tremendous growth potential due to his length and frame mixed with rare top end speed.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Burford is a true power back/fullback depending on the system and is a high floor prospect at the next level. One of the top returning players across the loaded SJS in 2025, Burford is coming off a tremendous Junior season for Oakdale and is one of the more violent and downhill runners Northern California has to offer. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">He moves extremely well for his size and is a fluid athlete that runs through contact and is another North and South runner that gets behind his pads and can finish runs with nasty intentions. Another prospect that has a rare combination of size and speed and is a natural ball carrier, he has already picked up offers from Air Force and Northern Arizona. There should be plenty of other FCS+ schools coming in and showing interest/offering the bruising back for the next few months and into his Senior season.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Finau is a very athletic tackle Prospect that offers good position versatility at the next level at either guard or tackle. He is strong at the point of attack, is a natural bender in his stance that snaps out and get some immediate vertical push and has a strong inside strike at the point of attack. He shows patience in pass protection and good hand placement while able to anchor against ball rushers and has the proper body control/feet for longer edge rushers as well. Overall, he is technically sound prospect and will only continue to grow and develop through Senior year and at the next level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Whelan is one of the top signal callers across the Bay Area and currently remains uncommitted. He is looking to be a big-time steal for a college program over the next year and is in line for a huge senior season with plenty of weapons for The King's Academy. He's a very mobile passer that has a quick release and can fit the ball into tight windows downfield while able to put good touch over the top of this throws. He does a good job at quickly scanning the field, working through his progressions and is not afraid to take what is given while also showing he can throw on the run and has tremendous accuracy at the third level. </p>
