<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>6. [player_tooltip player_id='1543829' first='Kennie' last='Leggett Jr']., Mater Dei</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Leggett attacks the line of scrimmage quickly and is a one-cut-and go type of back at the first two levels. He has good short-area quickness and is a tough guy to bring down. Leggett bounces off of tacklers and reads his blockers well. He isn't a speed demon but can make guys miss beyond the second level and takes no wasted steps. Leggett has offers from Boston College, Sacramento State and Washington.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">I appreciate <a href="https://twitter.com/BCFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BCFootball</a> For showing a lot of love this weekend! <a href="https://twitter.com/MDFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@MDFootball</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregBiggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregBiggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/adamgorney?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@adamgorney</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/247Sports?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@247Sports</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RivalsCamp?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RivalsCamp</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrandonHuffman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/chadsimmons?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@ChadSimmons</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GregSmithRivals?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GregSmithRivals</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/RivalsFriedman?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@RivalsFriedman</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TomLoy247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TomLoy247</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/TomLuginbill?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TomLuginbill</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/samspiegs?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@samspiegs</a><a href="https://twitter.com/CraigHaubert?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CraigHaubert</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachSHuggins?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachSHuggins</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachWillBC?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachWillBC</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/Coach_JDiBiaso?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@Coach_JDiBiaso</a> <a href="https://t.co/ag1MZSLgpz">pic.twitter.com/ag1MZSLgpz</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1543827' first='Kennie' last='Leggett'] (@KennieLeggett27) <a href="https://twitter.com/KennieLeggett27/status/1906575130115113444?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 31, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>7. [player_tooltip player_id='1197522' first='Caleb' last='Bey'], Bishop Amat</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Bey was a top performer at the You Are Athlete camp and the Rivals camp. He's a complete back who can run routes out of the backfield and make big plays in the running game. Bey has a lot of wiggle at the first two levels and isn't afraid to lower his shoulder into people. He has good burst once he gets past the second level and always keeps his feet moving through contact. Bey can change direction on a dime and is smooth in everything he does. He is committed to Sacramento State and also has offers from Louisville, Maryland and Syracuse.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Committed‼️<a href="https://twitter.com/BrennanMarion4?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BrennanMarion4</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/GMSacStateFB?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@GMSacStateFB</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/CoachJohnson32_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@CoachJohnson32_</a><br>AGTG!,I would like to thank all my coach's,Teammates and and FAMILY,as well as the whole Sac State coaching staff for believing in me and making me the first ‘27 commit‼️.MOM AND POPS‼️<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/wedidit?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#wedidit</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoGOsacramento?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GoGOsacramento</a> <a href="https://t.co/eOHcLUrhjs">pic.twitter.com/eOHcLUrhjs</a></p>&mdash; [player_tooltip player_id='1197522' first='Caleb' last='Bey'] Jr./ Class of 2027 (@BeyCalebjr) <a href="https://twitter.com/BeyCalebjr/status/1903996329547923764?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 24, 2025</a></blockquote> <!-- /wp:html --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>8. [player_tooltip player_id='490702' first='Champ' last='Brown'], Aquinas</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown ran for 1212 yards with 13 touchdowns as a sophomore for Aquinas last season. He really impressed me at the All-22 camp in March with his quick feet for his size. Brown has this jump cut move he uses to make guys miss at the first level and he has good burst once he gets through the second level. He reads his blockers well and always takes care of the football, even using two hands on the ball when anticipating contact. The foot speed and wiggle make him a dangerous back at the high school level and if colleges can get comfortable with his size, offers should start rolling in.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Great day at <a href="https://twitter.com/TheOpening?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@TheOpening</a> Camp today.

[player_tooltip player_id='1598286' first='Edward' last='Rivera'], Compton</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rivera was the leading rusher in the LA City Section last season with 1843 yards and 21 touchdowns in 10 games for South East. He was excellent at the National Preps Showcase and the Under Armour Next camp. Rivera was a matchup nightmare running routes out of the backfield and had the burst to create separation late in the route. He evades tacklers at the first two levels easily and has good start/stop action to his game. Rivera is committed to Sacramento State. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Had an amazing showing at the <a href="https://twitter.com/UCLAFootball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@UCLAFootball</a> camp!!

[player_tooltip player_id='1611382' first='Kevika' last='Martinez'], La Habra</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Martinez ran for 1021 yards with 15 touchdowns for La Habra last season and is better as a college prospect at linebacker. He is a patient runner who drives his feet through contact at the first two levels and he often turns dead plays into productive ones. Martinez has good burst once he gets past the second level can lower his shoulder to pick up the extra yardage at the end of the run. He is a work horse in the offseason and a versatile player that coaches love. Martinez is an under-recruited guy who I think can play outside linebacker at the college level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:html --> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A little Saturday work.
