Playing both DE and WR his length creates natural mismatches and offers immense upside for development at the collegiate level. As a defensive end, his elite length allows him to disrupt passing lanes and maintain separation from blockers to free himself up to make a tackle. Plays with high effort and a good motor often chasing down plays from the backside and staying active through the whistle. He's a good athlete that is mobile and runs well, also one of the top Triple Jump athletes in the state. At receiver, his catch radius makes him nearly impossible to defend in jump ball situations, especially in the red zone. His frame and athletic tools are too rare to ignore and should land him increased college attention going forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19592499/67a63d8b0728724c669a71b6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6831111f4f32e"} /--> <!-- /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='1682173' first='Cruz' last='Huerta']","_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":"6'5u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"290","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Salpointe Catholic","_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-6831111f4f3d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">At 6'5” 290 lbs. Huerta possesses prototypical size, power, and physicality that colleges programs look for on the interior line. His frame is well-balanced, with the bulk to anchor against power rushes and the movement skills effectively block in space. Raw power allows him to overwhelm opponents and consistently generates strong initial contact off the snap. Creates immediate knock back and establishes control early on in the play. His punch is forceful and well-timed, allowing him to gain leverage and sustain through the whistle. Technically sounds and versatile, he excels at executing a variety of blocks, from down blocks and reach blocks to pulling and climbing to the second level. Quality all-around prospect that will see a bump in recruitment going into his senior year.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19355466/67a920b75012198fb16694b9' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6831111f4f402"} /--> <!-- /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":"Ian Ngaue-Stephenson","_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":"6'4u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"305","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2405","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mesa","_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-6831111f4f4a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A lot to like about the 6'4” 305 lb. OG out of Mesa. He plays with an edge defined by his violent finishing ability and aggressive demeanor attacking his blocks. He strikes with explosive power, using strong, violent hands to shock defenders and control the POA. His punch is heavy often throwing defenders off balance creating immediate movement in the run game. Shows natural bend and good mobility for his size, he's able to move in space while demonstrating the athleticism to adjust to stunts, blitzes, and moving targets. Despite his aggressive play stiles, he remains under control and in balance through contact, rarely overextending or getting outside his framework. Plays with leverage, pad level, and leg drive at the POA. Three sport athlete (football, wrestling, and track) that shouldn't fly under the recruiting radar for much longer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18447271/679bf8d82a4f6e1a45c0d251' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6831111f4f4cb"} /--> <!-- /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='1682136' first='Austin' last='Spendlove']","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"200","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2407","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Arizona College Prep","_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-6831111f4f55a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">6'3” 200 lbs. Spendlove brings a great skillset to the position, blending wide receiver-like athleticism with the versatility and alignment flexibility of a modern hybrid tight end. He stands out most as a dynamic pass-catching threat, using his size and length to create mismatches against smaller defensive backs and slower linebackers. His route-running is crisp and controlled, with a good understanding of leverage and spacing that allows him to consistently find soft spots in zone coverage and separate in man situations. He tracks the ball well in the air and shows natural hands, making him a reliable target on a wide route tree. His body control and coordination allows him to compete for the ball at the high point and come down with contested catches in traffic. Also excels after the catch where he can use his speed and physicality to break through arm tackles and run away from defenders in space. His hands, route running, and ability after the catch give him the potential to become a dangerous mismatch creator at the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17644946/673133960f500401a95f25a3' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6831111f4f581"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1369432"],"_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-6831111f4f5ce"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rhodes was listed as one of our top rankings risers last update and is inside the top 10 defensive lineman in the 2026 class. Has continued to add mass and build on his frame now at 6'3” 240 lbs. His skillset combines his size, power, and athleticism to make him a disruptive and consistent threat on the edge. Natural strength allows him to anchor well against the run, setting a firm edge and shedding blockers with good hand technique and leverage. Great initial quickness and an explosive first step to beat blockers off the ball and gain immediate penetration. Good speed and burst in the short area to chase and close space. High academic prospect with a 4.78 GPA. Expect that initial college offer to come in soon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/16898568/674699b01a0be782ea78c700' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6831111f4f5f1"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
