Hidden Rising Senior Gems Poised to Shine Late in the Cycle

Clifford is a still raw and developing prospect, but has elite length, range and closing speed off the edge from his defensive end spot. He covers a ton of ground quickly, shows he can bend the corner and win with both speed and power and is extremely physical at the POA with all the starting tools to grow into a elite level pass rusher in college. At 6'6+, his frame can easily add another 35-40 pounds, and he flashes good body control for his size and strength at the point. He holds tons of upside at the next level and as he continues to add to his toolbox and fundamentals, he will be a nice steal for a college team. The talented edge rusher currently holds one offer from Portland State.     One of the more quick twitched and technically sound interior rushers across the state, Jennings had a busy Spring and picked up offers from UC Davis, NAU, Portland State, SJSU and Montana State and is one of the top available defensive tackles left heading into the Summer. He is extremely twitchy in the short area while able to win with a quick first step, heavy hands and speed/power rush moves from the inside, which is rare to see. He is a high motor kid that can two gap, take on pullers, shows quick block recognition and is overall one of the more technical inside guys I have seen so far this cycle.     Schrom is one of the more instinctual defensive players across the San Diego region and has tremendous length and size for the outside linebacker/strong safety position. He has natural instincts, closing, speed and range in the open field and is a very efficient tackler when triggering downhill. He shows disciplined eyes in zone coverage, baiting quarterbacks into poor throws over the middle before breaking and also shows elite return abilities with downfield speed that covers ground in a hurry. Overall, he is a very fluid athlete that has the ideal frame and build for the position at the next level and will be a late steal for a college program.     Maxwell is very technically sound from his left guard position, and is a natural bender in his stance with good flexibility and a powerful punch at the point of attack. He has good feet while working through his block progression and a strong base while able to finish through the second level and pull across the line/blocking in space. He shows heavy hands to create immediate vertical push and should have no problem finding a home at the next level. In pass protection, he is a quick processor against stunts and twist and shows he can stay within his frame against speed rushers, while able to anchor as well when needed.     Bailey is another prospect that has been flying under the radar up to this point, and is extremely strong and powerful at the point of attack with a quick inside punch and hand violence. He shows he can finish blocks downfield and is a true interior road grader with a strong base and plays with nasty intentions. A definite next level caliber player, he should draw plenty of D3+ interest through his senior season and find a home at the next level. Heading into the fall, he will be one of the top guys in the trenches across the region and he should have a breakout Senior season in 2025.
