He is a very twitchy and elusive route runner that can create separation downfield and has a big catch radius and body control when making contested catches. He's explosive with the ball in his hands and can make defenders miss in the open field with short area quickness/lateral agility and is a patient route runner that can beat both man and zone coverage. Also showing elite downfield speed and vision in space, he is a big play returner as well and can play multiple positions on both sides of the ball. The Huntington Beach product recently picked up his first offer from Minot State and should have a busy summer increasing his stock. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/steelsport2026/status/1859331587785228620","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/steelsport2026/status/1859331587785228620 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /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='1686113' first='Walter' last='Moore']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2025","_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":"215","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2406","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"St. Bonaventure ","_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-682f75cd36f52"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Moore is a very twitchy and long edge setter that can come up and play with violent hands while keeping his outside shoulder free and shuts down the entire half of the LOS from his defensive end spot. He explodes off the ball, re-sets the line quickly and also shows he can drop in coverage and tackle in space while closing quickly and is very fluid for his size. He is a still raw and developing prospect but has elite movement abilities and twitch and should fit nicely at the next level as a true defensive end and 4 down guy with his balanced play style.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/WalterMoore08/status/1924662847549931754","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/WalterMoore08/status/1924662847549931754 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197614"],"_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-682f75cd370e8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Mater Dei product is one of the top edge rushers in the 2027 class across the state of California. He has the ideal frame and length for a true 4 down defensive end and has a quick first step, quickly resets the line with a violent shock and lockout and shows he can take on double teams and drive blocks without giving up ground. When pass rushing, he shows he can win with both speed and power and has natural bend around the edge while able to counter back inside when needed and is a very smart player that can play anywhere along the defensive line. Toilolo recently picked up offers from Montana, Montana State, and Colorado and will be a 15+ offer guy by the time it's all said and done.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Toilolo_Montana/status/1869590447984947331","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/Toilolo_Montana/status/1869590447984947331 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1598369"],"_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-682f75cd37064"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Herman is one of the more explosive players across the San Diego region and is coming off a tremendous Junior season campaign for La Costa Canyon. He is a explosive and violent runner that is a natural pass catcher out of the backfield and can create good separation in the open field when breaking away from defenders. In the short area, he shows lateral agility and good sudden movements through the hole while able to cut back against flow and is a patient runner that stays behind his blocks before hitting his second gear. Herman recently committed to UC Davis, and is a big-time get for the Aggies as he should fit nicely in their offensive system.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cobyherman21/status/1922381011867869338","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/cobyherman21/status/1922381011867869338 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
