He's a powerful athlete at 6'3"/235 that shows his basketball background in his ball skills and body control as a pass catcher and plays with speed and quickness on both sides of the ball. Explosive getting off the ball, can manhandle DE/OLBs as a blocker, and is a highly disruptive edge rusher. Taylor has added four D-I offers this year including Washington, Arizona St., and Cal. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">End of freshman season highlights <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_AFlores?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_AFlores</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Gbuckz4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Gbuckz4</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DP_JagsFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DP_JagsFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachWest100?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachWest100</a> <a href="https://t.co/9grNpwSD09">https://t.co/9grNpwSD09</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1608618' first='Mike' last='Taylor'] (@_hoodiemike) <a href="https://twitter.com/_hoodiemike/status/1864096914498809953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 3, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608589"],"_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-68267b44282d9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Tupou checks in as the #2 overall prospect and top-ranked EDGE defender after finishing among the state's leaders in sacks (16), the most among all freshmen in the country, and TFLs (34) as a freshman. Packs tremendous strength and power behind his 6'1"/235 frame with the skill and mobility to dominate OTs multiple ways. Plays with violent hands at the POA, shows good bend and quickness turning the corner, and is a proven game-wrecker with both the production and film to back it. Tupou has picked up offers from Arizona, Cal, Hawaii, and SMU this offseason and can expect to see more come in heading into his sophomore season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Earned not given!

He's a big, powerful defensive lineman at 6'4"/260 that brings major upside as a future game-wrecking DT. Shows explosive burst in his get-off, makes effective use of his hands, and can drive OL off the spot with his natural power and leverage.

The 5'10"/170 QB out of Bishop Gorman was a standout at the PRZ CA Showcase back in 2023 where he showed the skill and finesse in his arm as just an eighth grader. He's a gifted, mobile passer that some possesses a similar skillset and traits as some of the recent D-I QBs to come through Gorman. Showed great feel and awareness in the pocket for the Gaels' freshman team last season to go along with the natural arm talent and playmaking he brings to the table. Amina holds nearly 20 D-I offers including Oregon, Nebraska, Washington, and Arizona among others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Some clips from the Bay Area <a href="https://twitter.com/Elite11?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Elite11</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AG2G?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AG2G</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Platform?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Platform</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AminaBrothers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AminaBrothers</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GATA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GATA</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GCSA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GCSA</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/raisingchamps_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@raisingchamps_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/dtagovailoa?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@dtagovailoa</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Stumpf_Brian?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Stumpf_Brian</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadSimmons_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ChadSimmons_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/DUiagalelei?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@DUiagalelei</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/247recruiting?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247recruiting</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/247Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247Sports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BishopGormanFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BishopGormanFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://t.co/SdWxNvukJI">pic.twitter.com/SdWxNvukJI</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='551874' first='Ace' last='Amina'] 2028 (@ace_amina) <a href="https://twitter.com/ace_amina/status/1922326208873685189?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1608611"],"_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-68267b44283a0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Thompson-Woods led all freshman WRs in receiving yards with 679 on just 37 catches and 4 TDs.

Flashes his quickness and agility as a route-runner in the short area and is a strong pass catcher with natural hands. Menor picked up his first pair of offers from Hawaii and Colorado St. in recent weeks and is a solid breakout candidate for the 2025 season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Some of my contributions at OT7. <a href="https://t.co/lcNs2nHhdg">pic.twitter.com/lcNs2nHhdg</a></p>&mdash; Zyren Micah Menor (@zyrenmenor_) <a href="https://twitter.com/zyrenmenor_/status/1911629269224313277?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 14, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1614958"],"_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-68267b4428459"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pasina broke out as the current top OL prospect in the state's 2028 class with his strong freshman season for Eldorado in the fall.

Extremely violent at the POA, controls defenders with his hands, and finishes blocks to the ground. Pasina picked up his first offer from UNLV last summer and was on campus for a visit in January. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/yGiONZ0Vtq">https://t.co/yGiONZ0Vtq</a><br>Full Season Highlights (8 Games Played) <br>6'4 270 C/O 28' 3.6 GPA ⭐️<a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ChadSimmons_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ChadSimmons_</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BlairAngulo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlairAngulo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TheUCReport?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheUCReport</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/247recruiting?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247recruiting</a></p>&mdash; CalebPasina (@CalebPasina) <a href="https://twitter.com/CalebPasina/status/1870945309150646710?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 22, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617046"],"_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-68267b4428494"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Silva's a rising DB out of Bishop Gorman that just picked up his first offer from Hawaii in late April. He flashed his versatility playing both CB and safety on varsity last season. He's an active defender that doesn't hesitate to fly downhill as a tackler from the third level and comes out of his breaks with explosive burst. Plays with great eyes and technique and is an instinctive playmaker in zone coverage. Silva checks in as the top-ranked DB prospect in PRZ NV's first 2028 rankings release. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Truly blessed to have received my first D1 offer from the University of Hawaii!! <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachCBhawaii?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachCBhawaii</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/gobows?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#gobows</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/godisgreat?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#godisgreat</a> <a href="https://t.co/QTGeIYBjJH">pic.twitter.com/QTGeIYBjJH</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1617046' first='PJ' last='Silva'] (@pjsilva_14) <a href="https://twitter.com/pjsilva_14/status/1916296845309186336?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 27, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617055"],"_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-68267b44284cf"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Newcomb rounds out the overall top-10 after putting together a productive freshman season with 36 total tackles and 7 TFLs. He's a strong, athletic defensive lineman at 6'2"/260 that's also shown some good flashes at RT in the spring. Versatile front-seven defender that can make plays in the interior or coming off the edge. Newcomb picked up his first offer from Sacramento St. in February and could be adding more in the near fuure.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshmen spring ball highlights <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_AFlores?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_AFlores</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachWest100?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachWest100</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/MikeWatersP1?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MikeWatersP1</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Gbuckz4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Gbuckz4</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Sam_Poutasi73?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Sam_Poutasi73</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachMack_LV?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachMack_LV</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/AngelTBE54?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@AngelTBE54</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BlairAngulo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BlairAngulo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AGTG?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AGTG</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/truefreshmen?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#truefreshmen</a> <a href="https://t.co/Cyqy4JzaP0">pic.twitter.com/Cyqy4JzaP0</a></p>&mdash; ELIJAH ”SNOOP“ NEWCOMB (#44) (@NewcombEli84926) <a href="https://twitter.com/NewcombEli84926/status/1922138159464296474?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 13, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
