The 6'2"/170 ATH out of Desert Pines just picked up his first D-I offer from Sacramento St. this offseason after flashing his athletic upside as a sophomore. He's a long, rangy WR/DB that brings great ball skills and fluidity to both sides of the ball. Look for Burks to continue to put his name on the radar with a strong junior season in the fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MikeWatersP1/status/1916946593783124266","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/MikeWatersP1/status/1916946593783124266 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["557088"],"_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-6892aadb861b5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Savea is an under-the-radar offensive lineman that could be due for a breakout junior season with more playing time in the fall. He's a big, physical IOL that flashed his natural strength and power in his limited time on varsity as a sophomore. He has all the size and physical tools to develop into one of the better run blockers in Nevada's 2027 class over the next two seasons. Savea is a player to keep an eye on in the talented Bishop Gorman OL room. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TreytonSavea/status/1879026548512350364","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/TreytonSavea/status/1879026548512350364 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["940555"],"_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-6892aadb86221"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lea'ea is a defender on the rise coming into his junior season with Bishop Gorman. The transfer from Faith Lutheran flashed his EDGE upside for the Gaels JV squad last season and just picked up his first offer from Idaho in June. He's a strong, physical kid that should develop into a prolific run defender and packs promising athleticism as a rusher. Lea'ea offers great potential coming into the 2025 season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CalvinLeaea/status/1935904803789717648","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/CalvinLeaea/status/1935904803789717648 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["940543"],"_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-6892aadb8627c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lea'ea moved into the official 2027 rankings after being added to the watchlist ahead of his sophomore season with Bishop Gorman. Caleb and his twin brother- Calvin- just picked up their first offers from Idaho after a strong camp performance with the Vandals in June and both have their stock on the rise coming into the 2025 season. He's a strong, athletic defender on the edge that offers major upside as he continues to grow and develop. Keep an eye on Lea'ea as he works his way into the front-seven rotation for the Gaels this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Caleb_Leaea/status/1935898082027401460","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/Caleb_Leaea/status/1935898082027401460 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1655340"],"_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-6892aadb862d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peterson moved into the official rankings after being added to the 2027 watchlist back in the spring. The junior QB out of Durango has put together a strong offseason showing off his accuracy and arm strength as a passer in recent 7v7s. He's flashed good touch and placement on the deep ball and can change arm angles to fit into tight windows. Peterson's a player to keep an eye on if he's able to earn the starting job this fall. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/MaddexPeterson/status/1933012340137734466","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/MaddexPeterson/status/1933012340137734466 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1347109"],"_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-6892aadb86331"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Buddy is a wide receiver that's been on the PRZ NV radar since being added to the 2027 watchlist last summer and just entered the official rankings in this latest update ahead of the 2025 season. The Spanish Springs wideout packs playmaking upside in his 6'3"/180 frame and has the potential to develop into a matchup problem on the perimeter with the length and athleticism he brings to the table. Buddy just picked up his first offer from Central Methodist in June and should start to generate more interest with a productive junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/gdbuddy2027/status/1935889536791593003","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/gdbuddy2027/status/1935889536791593003 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1275677"],"_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-6892aadb8637f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Seward has stayed busy this offseason showing promising development in his WR skillset at recent camps and 7v7s. The Silverado junior is on the smaller side at 5'9"/145 but possesses the quickness and agility to create separation, particularly in the short-intermediate areas. Flashes some straight-line speed on vertical routes and is a strong hands-catcher. Look for Seward to turn in a productive junior season as one of the top returning receivers for Silverado. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JaxtonSeward5/status/1952077990155985156","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/JaxtonSeward5/status/1952077990155985156 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
