<h2 class="wp-block-heading">As the 2026 cycle nears its end, strong seasons and clear development have led to notable movement in the rankings. Here's an in depth look at several offensive prospects who saw a noticeable jump in the updated PRZ state rankings.</h2>    <p class="text-gray-700">Allen made the biggest jump of any prospect in the updated 2026 PRZ state rankings, moving up to #133 overall after a strong showing this season. Standing at 6'5” 275 lbs. he brings an ideal frame paired with versatility, projecting as a player who can line up at either tackle or slide inside to the interior at the next level. He consistently controls the LOS with a balanced, technically sound approach. He shows good footwork and body control, allowing him to execute a variety of blocks, whether working downhill in the run or pulling into space. His leverage and strength stand out in his ability to win, helping him sustain blocks and create lanes while maintain balance through contact. The athleticism in his lower half gives him added value as a movable piece along the offensive front. Earned four D1 offers since the end of his junior year before signing with Arizona on early signing day.</p>   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ArizonaFBall/status/1996236257719161281 </div></figure>     <p>An outstanding two-way difference maker for La Jolla, Diehl consistently impacts the game at both wide receiver and defensive back and projects as a player who could seamlessly transition to either side of the ball at the college level. He checks every box physically at 6'2”, 185 pounds, pairing his frame with savvy athleticism and solid all-around game speed. He flashes strong instincts and awareness, allowing him to play fast and anticipate plays before they fully develop. His ball skills stand out on both sides of the ball, highlighted by good tracking ability and natural adjustments to the football in the air. Whether attacking the ball as a receiver or breaking on passes in coverage, he shows confidence and control at the catch point.

Recently signed to San Diego State over an offer from Colorado State.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Jones moves up over 200 spots after an outstanding senior season that saw him ranked third in receiving in CA with 91 receptions for 1,521 yards and 29 touchdowns. Smooth runner with sudden short area quickness to be a dynamic receiver out of the slot. Excellent ability to release against both press and off coverage. Accelerates hard out of his stance for a strong phase. Excels creating separation at the top of the route by selling at the apex and accelerating out of his break. Shows outstanding usage and timing of different head fakes and stems to establish positional leverage against coverage. Strong after the catch using his speed to slip tacklers and be elusive in the open field. Still uncommitted, he holds three D1 offers and whoever lands him is getting a steal.</p>      <p class="text-gray-700">Burford moves up over 100 spots to #141 overall after a senior season that saw him ranked second in the state in rushing with 2,867 yards and 42 touchdowns on 312 carries. 6'0” 210 lbs. he brings a physical, power-based style while still offering impressive athleticism that separate him from typical downhill backs. Strong build he consistently runs through tackles and finishes through contact to pick up yards after contact. He possesses good straight line speed and deceptive lateral agility allowing him to create when lanes are limited. Extremely elusive for his size showing quick feet, sharp cuts, and the ability to make defenders miss at the second level. His balance and contact toughness stand out as he absorbs hits without losing momentum and continues to fall forward for extra yards. Signed to Air Force on early signing day.</p>
