He's undersized at 5'5"/130 but showed his ability to create separation with quickness off the LOS and deceptive releases against press coverage. Showed good concentration catching through traffic downfield and comes out of his breaks quick and low. Valencia was easily the top route-runner at Sunday's showcase.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had a great time at <a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzone</a> combine and won MVP for the Wr's. <br>Thank you to all the coaches<a href="https://twitter.com/CoachBanua?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachBanua</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/iclw5582?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@iclw5582</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/realBradStrate?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realBradStrate</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Kaipo50?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Kaipo50</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachG_SBVC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachG_SBVC</a> <a href="https://t.co/eQekjWcexz">pic.twitter.com/eQekjWcexz</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1655791' first='Joshua' last='Valencia'] (@J__Valencia11) <a href="https://twitter.com/J__Valencia11/status/1924270227799581150?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 19, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Top Performers</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- 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='1681525' first='Noah' last='Pedraza']","_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":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"185","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2410","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Westminster","_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-682cf69818116"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pedraza earned top performer honors among the WR group after starting the day with the LBs in indy drills. He possesses great upside on either side of the ball with his lengthy frame and natural athleticism. On film, he's a physical tackler that can cover ground between the hash and the sideline from his SS/OLB spot. Pedraza's an intriguing two-way player to keep an eye on for Westminster in the fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17821777/672dcc38734d601a038cc075' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-682cf698182fa"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1676025"],"_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-682cf6981834a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hilt stood out with the natural athleticism and physical frame he showed at Sunday's camp. He's a quick, twitchy mover that's built for a hybrid slot/RB role given the size and skillset he brings to the table. Needs some development as a route-runner but Hilt offers some promising physical tools to build on heading into his senior season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="zxx" dir="ltr"><a href="https://t.co/cKARh9Rz9K">pic.twitter.com/cKARh9Rz9K</a></p>&mdash; daymajae hilt (@mrtxmuch) <a href="https://twitter.com/mrtxmuch/status/1787368673759629526?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 6, 2024</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1659631"],"_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-682cf69818394"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jones was a standout TE that impressed with the combination of size, hands, and route-running skill he showed on Sunday. Brings good length to the table with his 6'3"/205 frame and is a strong hands catcher that can extend for passes outside his framework. Moves well and can get in and out of his cuts with good lateral agility. He'll need to continue to bulk and add weight to his frame to hold up as a TE at the next level but packs some upside in his receiving skill for the position at this stage. Look for Jones to put his name on the TE radar with a productive senior season for Valencia.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Went in feeling 75%, left in the Top 3 for WR/TE<a href="https://twitter.com/PrepRedzone?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PrepRedzone</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/VHSVikingsFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@VHSVikingsFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_Kaipo50?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_Kaipo50</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/iclw5582?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@iclw5582</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/realBradStrate?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realBradStrate</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/ZReyes_PRZ?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ZReyes_PRZ</a> <a href="https://t.co/UBZ9DRmBEq">pic.twitter.com/UBZ9DRmBEq</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1659631' first='Sean' last='Jones'] (@SeanCJones26) <a href="https://twitter.com/SeanCJones26/status/1924316826923917378?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 19, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
