He is a mismatch nightmare on the outside with elite length and a huge catch radius with strong hands and is able to make contested catches with ease. He chunks yardage downfield, can get over the top of safeties and is dynamic with the ball in his hands with good twitch and COD in the open field to make tacklers miss. Boltz is a no-brainer next level guy and should be a nice late steal for a school late as we approach the second and final signing day. The First-Team All Conference selection holds offers from College of Idaho, Graceland and Morningside among others and it would not be surprising if a Big Sky school came in late and pulled the trigger. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1680921"],"_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-69373302016fa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Taylor checks into our rankings as a top ten player at his position and is a natural pass catcher with strong hands, good tracking abilities and can create downfield seperation. He is a twitchy route runner that is quick in and out of his breaks, shows he can get off man coverage and into defenders blind spots before breaking off and has put up some impressive numbers both in his junior and senior season for Lakeland. He projects as more of a slot receiver due to his length/size and is a very smart route runner that understands how to settle in zone coverage while having the downfield speed and burst to get open in one on one situations. Look for Taylor to be a key D3+ late add in the recruiting process and make a positive impact at that level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1895390"],"_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-6937330201750"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gomez is a big play guy with a sturdy build, strong with the ball in his hands and can create downfield seperation and very physical after the catch. He is very strong at the POA, can come down with contested balls and has a third level gear in the clear while able to break arm/ankle tackles with ease and shows he is a big play guy. He has put up big numbers in each of the last two seasons, going for over 1,300 yards and 13 touchdowns through his prep career and offers plus abilities at the next level with untapped potential and a nice ceiling as he continues to grow and develop. He lands on our final rankings update as a top 20 receiver in the class, and is going to be another late D3+ steal for the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1646033"],"_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-693733020179a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Davis is a twitchy and explosive player that can play either in the slot or on the outside and is a terrific and crisp route runner that can settle in zone coverage or knife upfield and beat press man with a explosive burst, natural bend in his release and can get over the top quickly. He tracks the ball well over the top when making contested catches, shows good balance and highpoint abilities and is able to create seperation downfield and quickly knife upfield after the catch with body control and solid short area twitch in the clear. He is one of the more polished route runners across the region and had a very successful prep career and will be another key late addition to a college program and a name to note as we near the final national signing day. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1646807"],"_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-69373302017df"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Rivera checks into our rankings in the final 2026 update and put together a solid season for Skyline in 2025. He is more of a possession receiver with plus ball skills and naturally strong hands/tracking skills and shows he can create some seperation downfield and make plays after the catch. He is a high IQ player that can run a variety of different route concepts and shows he can go up and win on 50/50 balls and climb the ladder over defenders while also flashing some open field speed with long strides when stacking over the top. He is more then deserving to enter into our rankings this time around and had a very consistent career for Skyline year in and year out. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
