He is a rangy and athletic prospect that covers well downfield, triggers fast into the flats and is a excellent open field tackler and violent hitter that comes downhill and shows the ability to rush the passer off the edge. He flashes he can get off blocks and set the edge and takes good angles into the backfield when knifing downhill and read/reacts quickly on the perimeter. He is a high IQ guy that processes quickly and sniffs out plays underneath and has a already strong and long build for the position. Look for him to have a monster Junior season and continue to rise up radars through his Junior year. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /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":"JJ Haley","_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":"6'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"195","_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":"Corona del Mar ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"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-699d28bc7edb9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Haley recently picked up his first offer from Arizona State earlier this month, and is one of the more explosive and big body receivers we have seen in the class across the state. he is coming off a stellar sophomore season for the Sea Kings and is a mismatch nightmare on the outside that boxes out smaller defenders and chunks yardage downfield with long strides and can attack the ball in the air with strong hands and high point abilities. he is a smooth operator for his size and runs good routes while able to take the top off over the top and is very physical ball carrier after the catch and when going up to win at the POA. He is a no-brainer P4 guy on the outside and should draw plenty more offers through his Junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1214172"],"_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-699d28bc7eec0"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Carlsbad product enters into our rankings as a watch list prospect and is a well put together prospect with heavy hands and plays tough at the LOS anywhere along the defensive front. He explodes out of his stance with leverage and inside hands while showing he can redirect outside and collapse the pocket quickly and wins with power rush moves and a high motor at all times. He is a high IQ player that can read blocks, take on pullers and set the edge while showing some bend and short area twitch form the inside. As he grows and develops he can play either inside or possibly on the edge and college and has the frame to continue packing on weight over the next two years. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1203247"],"_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-699d28bc7ee0e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Oceanside product is a live passer with a strong arm, good zip on the ball and can throw on time with a quick release and really solid throwing mechanics heading into his junior year for the Pirates. He steps into his throws across the middle and is not afraid to fit it into tight windows while showing he can make off-platform throws as well across his body with deep ball accuracy and velocity over the top. He threw for 2,700+ yards this year with 25+ touchdowns and should be one of the sections leading passers in 2026 for what should be a loaded oceanside squad on both sides of the ball with plenty of next level talent across the board. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2055016"],"_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-699d28bc7ee61"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Stephens is a big bodied runner that gets downhill quickly, runs behind his pads and can break arm/ankle tackles with ease while looking for contact in the hole and always falling forward. He has good balance in-between the tackles, waits for his blocks to develop before hitting the hole and is a smooth mover for his size that was very productive is only his sophomore season for Murrieta Valley. Heading into his Junior season he should be one of the more productive ball carriers across the region and have plenty of colleges come his way as he should be able to fill that bigger back roll for a college team down the line. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
