Summer Standouts: 2027s

I'm continuing my series of Summer Standouts. In today's article, I will be discussing some select players who will become household Colorado names over the next 2 seasons. Colleges can get an early jump on the 2027 by looking down below ! Let's dive into my analysis.    Measuring in at 6'2 185 pounds, Reese is the new starting QB for Mountain Vista. Reese demonstrates a very good release with a quick wrist flip. Paired with his very good throw power, it makes Reese an intriguing prospect. He has very good accuracy at all 3 levels and good ball placement skills. He throws the ball above both the WR/DB's head allowing the WR to make a play on the ball. With his very good deep ball, he leads the wide receiver in stride. It allows the WR time to run underneath it. Reese also has good scramble ability due to good acceleration, speed, and change of direction. Puts his foot in the ground and jukes out defenders. With a strong season, expect more colleges to look his way.     Payne has a very productive season for Monarch. The 5'11 150-pound back had 150 carries for 751 yards and 5 touchdowns. Payne has very good athletic ability due to very good speed, change of direction, acceleration, and good balance. He utilizes his good vision and decision making to pick the correct hole to run through, utilizing his good reaction time. Payne is a bruising running back that searches out for contact. He has very good strength. That shows when he's trucking through defenders or stiff arming them to the ground. He's an exciting prospect who runs extremely hard.     Dotison is an excellent physical defensive back. Measuring in at 5'10 155 pounds, he had 56 total tackles (34 solo, 22 assisted), 2 TFL, 1 sack, 4 INT, 2 PD, 1 FF, and 2 FR. Dotison managed his time between cornerback, safety, and wide receiver (16 receptions for 294 yards and 4 touchdowns). Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, change of direction, and good jumping. Dotison is an aggressive safety on the prowl for contact. He is a very good tacker, and has good run support. In man & zone, he demonstrates very good closing quickness and created some pass deflections from him. As a corner, he has a good back pedal, and shows off his shifty feet. Dotison is a tantalizing prospect on the rise.     Garcia had himself a nice sophomore season, and continues to impress at the camps I've seen him at (PrepRedzone and University of Northern Colorado). The 5'10 165-pound receiver had 19 receptions for 302 yards and 2 touchdowns. He has very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, change of direction, good speed, and jumping. Good release at the line of scrimmage against both off coverage and press jam. Garcia has very good separation quickness due to his mental processing and athletic ability. He has very crisp routes and quick feet to make DBs miss. Or he will sit in the void patiently for his QB. Comes back during the scramble drill. Very good ball tracking and catching. He has strong hands and plucks the ball out of the air. Holds onto the ball while falling or during contact. I'm very impressed with Garcia's crisp route running ability. With more opportunities going into his junior year, I believe he will surprise Colorado.     AJ made himself very comfortable in the backfield. The 6'0 230-pound defensive lineman had 52 total tackles (30 solo, 22 assisted), and 8 TFL. Very good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, lateral agility, and good speed. Chwialkowski demonstrates very good hand speed allowing him to engage the OL first. Good block shedding and very good strength at the point of attack to control his defender. Very good hand strength, and good hand placement. He's a stout tackler, wrapping up the RB with ease. AJ demonstrates a relentless pursuit and very good competitive toughness. Continues to play after the whistle. Keep an eye out on Chwialkowski.
