<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Taking a look at some of the prospects outside the overall top-20 in PRZ NV's 2028 rankings debut.</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617110"],"_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-682ea4cd7233a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maea put together a breakout freshman season for Desert Oasis showing the power and physicality he brings to the table last fall. He's a strong, stout blocker at 6'/275 that's explosive getting out of his stance and excels as a puller where he can get on blocks in a hurry and overpower defenders with the downhill momentum he generates. Shows great mobility in space and working up to the second level and moves defenders off the spot with persistent leg drive at the POA. Maea's attracted some interest this offseason and should be in the mix to start bringing in offers in the near future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshman Varsity Highlights.<br>OL/DL<a href="https://t.co/u2uq0jSEC2">https://t.co/u2uq0jSEC2</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1617110' first='Zachariah' last='Maea'] (@Zachariah_Maea) <a href="https://twitter.com/Zachariah_Maea/status/1914796666466845093?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 22, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617103"],"_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-682ea4cd72395"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pitre debuted as the fourth-ranked defensive back and a top-25 overall prospect in PRZ NV's first release of the 2028 rankings. Flashed his raw frame and length at 6'1"/160 and showed some promising physicality out on the perimeter. Doesn't shy away from contact in the open field and packs some power as a tackler. Pitre is an up-and-coming prospect to keep an eye on out of Clark.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Freshman year varsity highlights <br>Jaylon &quot;Boog&quot; Pitre - <a href="https://t.co/wL69uVLMsv">https://t.co/wL69uVLMsv</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/QwikCut?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#QwikCut</a></p>&mdash; Jaylon “Boog” Pitre (@JaylonPitre0) <a href="https://twitter.com/JaylonPitre0/status/1858310163448639905?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 18, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617114"],"_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-682ea4cd723db"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zamora has quietly been putting his name on the 2028 DB radar with strong performances on the offseason circuit in recent months. He's a smooth coverage defender that possesses the instincts and ball skills to consistently put himself in position to make plays on the ball. Shows his speed and natural athleticism staying in-phase with vertical threats. Totaled 35 tackles and an INT on varsity last season. Zamora's firmly on the Vegas 2028 radar coming into his sophomore season with Mojave. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Locked Up 🔒 Pylon Mecca<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/demicozamora?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#demicozamora</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/zamoraboys?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#zamoraboys</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/teamzamora?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#teamzamora</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/football?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#football</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/highschoolfootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#highschoolfootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/varsityfootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#varsityfootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/freshman?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#freshman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/classof2028?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#classof2028</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/cornerback?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#cornerback</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/defensiveback?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#defensiveback</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/shutdown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#shutdown</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/lasvegas?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#lasvegas</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/nevada?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#nevada</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/mojaverattlerfootball?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#mojaverattlerfootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/motown?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#motown</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/locked?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#locked</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/lockdowncorner?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#lockdowncorner</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/chocshow?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#chocshow</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/702elite7v7?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#702elite7v7</a> <a href="https://t.co/DT73KUO6OM">pic.twitter.com/DT73KUO6OM</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1617114' first='Demico' last='Zamora'] (@demicozamora) <a href="https://twitter.com/demicozamora/status/1894081284575486374?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 24, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1296679"],"_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-682ea4cd7241e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Favela checked in as the #7-OL prospect in PRZ NV's first 2028 rankings release after showing some promising potential on varsity last season.

Competed well against an older group of DBs in 1v1s but needs to continue to develop his hands and route-running skill/technique.
