At 6-foot, 200 pounds, Taylor combines size and explosiveness in the backfield. He consistently breaks through tackles and shows a natural ability to accelerate through holes. Defenders struggle to bring him down once he reaches full speed, and his vision allows him to make smart, decisive cuts. Taylor's blend of power and agility makes him a serious threat on every carry and a top-tier back in the state.     Hare is a 6'3 defensive end who has been turning heads this off-season with his rare combination of size and speed. He consistently beats blockers off the edge and has the frame to develop into a dominant pass-rusher. His athleticism allows him to pursue the quarterback and ball carriers sideline to sideline. Hare's blend of explosiveness and length makes him a potential game-changer at the next level.     At 6'2, Harper has the height and length to match up with any receiver. He pairs that with elite speed, allowing him to stay in tight man-to-man coverage throughout the route. Harper reads the quarterback well, showing instincts to jump routes and make plays on the ball. His combination of size, speed, and football IQ makes him one of the top defensive backs in the region.     Lepisi is a 6'2, 225-pound edge rusher with a rare ability to cover in space. He impressed scouts recently by winning LB MVP at the prestigious Adidas Polynesian Bowl Combine, showcasing his athleticism and versatility. Lepisi can set the edge, rush the passer, and drop into coverage without losing impact. His size, speed, and instincts make him a dynamic weapon on defense.     Tucker stands 6'3 with a cannon for an arm and the athleticism to make plays outside the pocket. He can stretch the field vertically while also being a dual-threat threat in the running game. His poise and accuracy under pressure give him the tools to lead a high-powered offense. With his size, arm strength, and mobility, Tucker is one of Nevada's top signal-callers in 2027.
