He's an athletic playmaker on the perimeter that excels as a vertical threat with his straight-line speed and exceptional ball tracking ability. Still developing as a route runner but shows some skill in his press-coverage releases and finishes plays with strong hands. Look for Heinrichs to eclipse the 1,000 yard receiving mark this season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/HudsonHeinrichs/status/1879396839461642372","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/HudsonHeinrichs/status/1879396839461642372 </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":"Jacob Eastley","_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":"5'7u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"150","_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":"Army-Navy","_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-6899b43bd9bee"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Eastley built off his strong freshman campaign in 2023 with a breakout sophomore season in 2024. Caught 34 passes for 617 yards and 5 TDs and added another 300 yards rushing last season. He's a high-level playmaker with the ball in his hands that offers home-run play ability in his speed and elusiveness in space. Undersized at 5'7"/150 but makes up for it in the twitch, agility, and overall athleticism he brings to the table. Eastley is one of the most explosive wideouts in San Diego's 2027 class coming into this season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JacobEastley21/status/1933008177806913848","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/JacobEastley21/status/1933008177806913848 </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":"Chase Woolley","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"170","_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":"Santa Fe Christian","_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-6899b43bd9d2c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Woolley flashed promising playmaking ability as Santa Fe Christian's leading receiver a season ago. The 5'10"/170 junior recorded 365 receiving yards and 5 TDs on 25 catches as a sophomore. He was highly effective with the ball in his hands as both a receiver and punt returner showing his elusiveness in space and excellent field vision. Shows great hands and body control as a pass catcher but needs to continue to develop his route running. He's twitchy and creative with the ball in his hands and is a high effort blocker that can throw blocks downfield and dig out linebackers out of the slot. Look for Woolley to turn in another productive season as one of the top returning playmakers for Santa Fe Christian this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ChaseWooll25896/status/1858943650308538587","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/ChaseWooll25896/status/1858943650308538587 </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":"Marcos Rocha","_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":"5'6u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"150","_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":"San Pasqual","_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-6899b43bd9ea3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rocha was one of the most productive junior receivers in San Diego last season with over 1,300 receiving yards and 12 TDs on 83 catches. He's a versatile receiving threat that can make plays in the short-intermediate areas over the middle of the field when working out of the slot and challenges secondaries downfield with his speed and ball tracking when working the perimeter. Skilled and creative route runner that can create separation with his ability to change speeds, set up DBs, and disguise break points. Undersized at 5'6"/150 but is extremely difficult to tackle in space with his smaller stature and agility in space. Soft, quick hands as a pass catcher and can make the first defender miss after the catch. Rocha is one of the most underrated receivers coming into his senior season with San Pasqual. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Champ_marcus_10/status/1918527134827725212","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/Champ_marcus_10/status/1918527134827725212 </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":"Rahshawn Florence","_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":"5'10u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"150","_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":"Monte Vista","_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-6899b43bda0ac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Florence put together a strong junior season recording over 1,000 receiving yards and 8 TDs on 45 catches last fall. He's a solid athlete on the perimeter that excels as a vertical threat with his natural speed and exceptional body control- averaged 23 YPC as a junior. He can release off the LOS against press coverage, does a good job of attacking the ball at it's highest point, and shows noticeable burst/acceleration after the catch. Could be more precise and intentional in creating separation out of his breaks but has some good foundational route running skills to build on. Florence is an under-the-radar wideout to keep an eye on in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/rahflo4/status/1888095603072319753","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/rahflo4/status/1888095603072319753 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
