The sophomore playmaker showed his full WR skillset making explosive plays after the catch and as a vertical threat. He's a lean, fluid athlete that has the looks of a breakout player this season. Kahalewai is an emerging talent to keep an eye on in 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KingKahalewai/status/1960327724201058337","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/KingKahalewai/status/1960327724201058337 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["940487"],"_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-68aec21ba7fc6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hoshino completed 9/15 passes for 186 yards and 5 TDs in Sloan Canyon's 43-7 season opening win over Lowry on Friday. The #3 junior QB in Nevada showed the arm talent and fluid mechanics that helped move him up the PRZ rankings this offseason. He showed great footwork and management of the pocket, got the ball out quick, and was highly accurate towards the sidelines. Hoshino will continue to rise the rankings with more performances like this.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cadehoshino/status/1960169563578102054","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/cadehoshino/status/1960169563578102054 </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":"Portland Yandall","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2028","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'1u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"180","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2409","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Desert Pines","_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-68aec21ba8068"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Yandall threw for 225 yards and 5 TDs in Desert Pines' 62-7 season opening win over Durango. The rising sophomore showed his ability to distribute from the pocket and get the ball out on time on short screens as well as great ball placement on a deep corner route. Yandall is looking like a breakout passer early into his sophomore campaign.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/PortlandY310/status/1960132046485090492","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/PortlandY310/status/1960132046485090492 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1660280"],"_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-68aec21ba80bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Waters-Cortez totaled 165 yards and 4 total TDs in SLAM's 36-33 victory over Virgin Valley. He showed his versatile playmaking making plays as both a rusher and receiver and is looking significantly more developed since showing promising flashes in his sophomore season. He showed great speed and quickness around the LOS and should continue to operate as one of SLAM's top playmakers. Look for Waters-Cortez to put his name on the radar with a breakout season this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19524033/68aa9e83014e7e1e50e6b3c9' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68aec21ba82bb"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1617109"],"_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-68aec21ba8313"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McCullah caught 8 passes for 159 yards and totaled 2 TDs in Mater Academy's 38-12 win over Chaparral on Friday. The sophomore playmaker showed his natural speed and twitch with the ball in his hands producing multiple explosive TDs over 50+ yards. McCullah is looking like a future D-I prospect with the natural athleticism he possesses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/gfor6ix/status/1959802567594242208","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/gfor6ix/status/1959802567594242208 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Standouts</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1855145' first='Ryder' last='Dobbs'] (QB / 2028 / Foothill) - 10/15, 161 yards, 3 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1110893' first='Braxton' last='Bonnett'] (WR / 2026 / Foothill) - 9 catches, 182 yards, 2 TDs&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='940680' first='James' last='Monaghan IV'] (QB / 2027 / Mater Academy East Las Vegas) 17/29, 264 yards, 3 TDs, 2 INTs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='940475' first='Brandon' last='Quaglio'] (WR / 2027 / Pinecrest Sloan Canyon) - 5 catches, 55 yards, 3 TDs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1608589' first='Simote' last='Tupou'] (EDGE / 2028 / Pinecrest Sloan Canyon) - 4 tackles, 2 sacks, 3 TFLs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Francis Mariani</strong> (QB / 2029 / Boulder City) - 11/18, 204 yards, 3 TDs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1112218' first='Tanner' last='Vibabul'] (QB / 2026 / Las Vegas) - 12/18, 254 yards, 4 TDs, rush TD; </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='917750' first='Maika' last='Eugenio'] (QB / 2026 / Bishop Gorman) - 8/8, 233 yards, 4 TDs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='560923' first='Zyren' last='Menor'] (WR / 2028 / Bishop Gorman) - 3 catches, 146 yards, 2 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='378809' first='J'siah' last='Leasau'] (DL / 2027 / Bishop Gorman) - 12 tackles, 3 sacks, 7 TFLs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Ameer Williams </strong>(ATH / 2026 / Del Sol) - 3 TDs, INT</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1596130' first='Drew' last='Dixon'] (RB / 2027 / Virgin Valley) - 29 carries, 230 yards, 2 total TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Camren Minton</strong> (QB / 2029 / Spring Valley) - 11/18, 264 yards, 4 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
