He has patient hands, good feet and is a striker with finish abilities downfield and is extremely athletic in space and in protection against speed rushers. He is a natural bender in his stance and has the ideal starting tools to be a productive tackle with plus length in college. He has picked up offers from Montana and Sacramento State and has plenty of growth potential through college and should draw plenty more FBS/P4 interest and offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/75Andrew_Price/status/1911246330049286636","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/75Andrew_Price/status/1911246330049286636 </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":"Cohen McKibben","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'9u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"155","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Capital","_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-681920c002625"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McKibben is one of the top cover corners across Idaho in the class, and is outstanding in run support when coming up to set the edge or take on bigger ball carries in the open field. He is a sure tackler, takes the proper angles and is a very high IQ player that breaks to the ball and packs a punch at the POA. He has a fluid and natural pedal and flashes some recovery speed if beat downfield and shows some high-point abilities and natural ball skills when going up to get it. Only a rising Junior, he is one of the top players at his position in the '27 class, and will be a kid that enters into our rankings here soon. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CohenMckibben/status/1915854779181596970","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter"} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CohenMckibben/status/1915854779181596970 </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":"Owen Oelkers","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"155","_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":"Bishop Kelly","_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-681920c0026d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Without a doubt a name that will be near the top of the 2028 rankings when they are released later this Spring, the Bishop Kelly standout had a terrific first season at the varsity level in 2024, and is one of the top returning weapons across Idaho regardless of class heading into the 2025 season. He is a natural route runner with consistent hands, good catch radius and tracks the ball well over the top while able to create separation downfield. He shows he can win at the POA on 50/50 balls and attacks the ball in the air and is explosive after the catch as well. This Fall, he should have a breakout season and start picking up some traction on the recruiting trail heading into his Junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22488641/Owen-Oelkers/highlights">Freshman Hudl Film: </a></strong><a href="https://www.hudl.com/profile/22488641/Owen-Oelkers/highlights"><em>https://www.hudl.com/profile/22488641/Owen-Oelkers/highlights</em></a></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /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":"Ashilo Machu","_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":"6'0u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"230","_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":"Boise","_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-681920c002777"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Machu is another player that could find himself in our updated 2026 rankings later this Spring, and is one of the top players at his position heading into 2025. He is a explosive and titchy interior rusher that shoots his hands quickly and can create immediate knock-back while athletic enough to both one and two-gap play/rush. He is a no-brainer D3+ player at the next level, and should start drawing NAIA/D3 interest and potential offers through his Senior season for a very talented Boise team. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MachuAshilo/status/1913739575736062289","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/MachuAshilo/status/1913739575736062289 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
