He is a very explosive playmaker with natural hands, elite route running abilities and with still two seasons in his prep career, he is extremely polished and well rounded as a receiver. He is a smooth athlete that can stretch the field and has tremendous short area twitch, 50/50 ball abilities and excels against man coverage near the LOS. McElvane currently holds three offers from Sac State, SDSU and SJSU and will be one of the regions best in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PGregorian/status/1893513479656743402","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/PGregorian/status/1893513479656743402 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1149006"],"_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-67eaea7388734"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haynes is a true burner on the outside, and one of the top deep threats across the state of California. He is coming off a tremendous second season for Alemany, and is poised for a huge Junior season and should be a 10+ offer guy by the time it's all said and done. He can stretch the field, shows outstanding ball skills and body control when making contested catches, and can beat man coverage and get over the top of safeties and off-corners. He currently holds offers from Washington and Colorado State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Gianni_H2027/status/1788372071158071610","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/Gianni_H2027/status/1788372071158071610 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1132552"],"_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-67eaea73887fc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Fuga is one of the more powerful and strong freshman lineman across the region and was a two-way player for one of the top teams in the San Diego Section. He moves extremely well for his size and provides interior twitch on both sides of the ball and wins with power, a strong base and violent punch at the point of attack. Offensively, he is extremely athletic and snaps out of his stance while getting his hands on defenders quickly and creating immediate vertical push and does a good job at finishing his blocks downfield. He has plenty of growth potential over the next three seasons and is a no-brainer FBS caliber prospect. Fuga currently holds one offer from Oregon State.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Kiti_Samoa619/status/1880358877264523352","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/Kiti_Samoa619/status/1880358877264523352 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["432272"],"_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-67eaea738877b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sekona is one of the top young quarterbacks in the state and checks into our rankings as a top five player at his position. He is a dual-threat and extremely powerful runner that gets downhill quickly and is tough to tackle in the open field. He has natural forward lean, looks for contact in the hole while accelerating and buying time with his feet and getting the ball out quick. He can fit throws into tight windows and does a good job throwing his receivers open with good touch and velocity on the ball over the top. He throws a tight spiral, and is accurate both inside and outside of the pocket while having a high IQ and strong pocket presence.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RUSSELL9SEKONA/status/1885018115815391558","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/RUSSELL9SEKONA/status/1885018115815391558 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1611412"],"_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-67ec25b41c025"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pooley is one of the better signal callers in his class across southern California, and can make off-platform throws with ease and fits the ball into tight windows while having a very strong arm both in the pocket and while on the run. He does a good job navigating the pocket and evading pressure while keeping his eyes downfield, and has a quick release with good zip on the ball, throwing his receivers open and leading them away from defenders. He is poised for a huge Junior season for Chaminade, and has had a very busy Spring so far. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cameron_pooley/status/1906073920425296277","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/cameron_pooley/status/1906073920425296277 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
