He shows he can run a diverse route tree, get open against both safeties and linebackers and is physical in space with the ball in his hands after the catch. Although a very reliable and efficient receiving threat, he also shows he is a willing blocker and will be 235+ pounds by this time next year and should draw plenty of FCS+ offers through this next off-season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bradyadams2027/status/1860566765950107900","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/bradyadams2027/status/1860566765950107900 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1279271"],"_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-686454a7de1a9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Capistrano Valley prospect is another player that is a no-brainer FBS kid heading into his Junior season. He has the ideal length and frame for the next level and has a strong build and powerful lower half and is a long strider that chunks yardage vertically and has a huge catch radius downfield/is extremely physical with the ball in his hands. He shows good wiggle after the catch and can force defenders to take poor angles in the open field and does a good job not getting rerouted and is a big target across the middle. He checks into our rankings update as a top 10 player at the position and could definitely see that ranking rise over the next 12 months.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ColinHoop18/status/1837992606900568295","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/ColinHoop18/status/1837992606900568295 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1344462"],"_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-686454a7de161"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Mission Viejo prospect is another guy that should have a very successful Junior season for the Diablos. He is a smooth athlete with good long speed downfield, separation abilities and can win on contested catches over the middle with strong hands and good body control in traffic. He's another prospect that is still developing as a route runner, but has all the tools to be a FBS tight end at the next level and should start reeling in offers post Junior season as he is one of the best in his class for the tight end group across the state. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MaxMarkofski/status/1913376156524679395","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/MaxMarkofski/status/1913376156524679395 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1382581"],"_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-686454a7de101"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ross checks into our rankings as a top 100 player and top 3 player at his position in the 2027 class. He is a smooth route runner with a huge catch radius, strong hands and good tracking abilities over the top in traffic. He shows he can get off man coverage, settle against zone and quickly knife up-field while tough to bring down in open space due to his physicality with the ball in his hands. As he continues to pack on weight and add to his frame, he should develop into a very balanced tight end prospect and is in line for a huge Junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Braylen_Ross2/status/1802787250134261868","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/Braylen_Ross2/status/1802787250134261868 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
