The senior WR/DB established himself as one of the best two-way players in northern Nevada last season and has continued to prove that status with 5 receiving TDs and 2 INTs through Elko's first three games of the season. Jones brings an underrated combination of athleticism, ball skills, and playmaking ability to both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CoyJonnes3003/status/1964791502435127676","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/CoyJonnes3003/status/1964791502435127676 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["890039"],"_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-68bf91d4da868"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">McNeil completed 16/22 passes for 322 yards and 4 TDs in Spanish Springs' 38-0 win over Carson on Friday. The state's sixth-ranked senior QB showed impressive timing and velocity on several in-breakers as well as good arm strength and ball placement on deep routes. McNeil is an underrated prospect that continues to show promising growth in his development&nbsp;as a passer. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/McneilTyson10/status/1964333666542489898","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/McneilTyson10/status/1964333666542489898 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1615990"],"_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-68bf91d4da8df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rivero shined on both sides of the ball in Reed's 43-28 win over McQueen on Friday. The 6'/170 senior handled 11 carries for 129 yards and a TD on offense and racked up 14 total tackles, 2 sacks and 3 TFLs from his LB spot. Rivero continues to show the athleticism, power, and physicality he brings to the table that has him ranked as a top-100 prospect and the #11 LB in his class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17807280/68bce84cc61ac1fbda38434d' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68bf91d4dab83"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1218616"],"_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-68bf91d4dabff"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Love rushed for 210 yards and 3 TDs on just 10 carries in Fernley's 47-12 victory over Sparks. Nevada's leading rusher from a season ago (1,992 rushing yards as a junior) is looking like an early favorite to lead the state again with over 700 yards through four games this season. Love is a powerful runner that's looking even faster and more athletic in his senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/17916466/68be03b2c61ac1fbda3b0a24' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68bf91d4dac43"} /--> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">More Standouts</h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1697140' first='Christian' last='Diehl'] (QB / 2027 / Damonte Ranch) - 9/16, 157 yards, 4 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1584952' first='Zack' last='Jackson'] (ATH / 2026 / Douglas) - 16 carries, 168 yards, 2 TDs; 13 total tackles</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='876943' first='Ethan' last='Kraintz'] (QB / 2026 / Elko) - 15/21, 216 yards, 3 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1879956' first='Riott' last='Duke'] (RB / 2027 / Elko) - 19 carries, 111 yards, 2 TDs Elko 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1879961' first='Lucas' last='MacDonald'] (QB / 2026 / Incline) - 10/12, 286 yards, 5 TDs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='854252' first='Bronwyn' last='Rios'] (RB / 2026 / Reed) - 26 carries, 175 yards, 3 TDs</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1879958' first='Andre' last='Daniels III'] (RB / 2027 / Reno) - 13 carries, 109 yards, 2 TDs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='1660288' first='Jackson' last='Mathews'] (LB / 2027 / Reno) - 7 total tackles, 2 sacks, 2 TFLs </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
