Hooper is the guy Capo goes to on hot routes and is a long strider who can make some plays after the catch. He uses his length to win 50/50 balls with solid body control near the sidelines. Hooper is a tight end who can block and does a good job getting to the outside of the defender on outside run plays. Northern Arizona has shown interest and he is visiting Flagstaff during spring practice.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ColinHoop18/status/1991355407500284268?s=20","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/ColinHoop18/status/1991355407500284268?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1658274"],"_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-69c37f306d68b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Howell had 50 tackles, one sack, three pass deflections and two interceptions for San Juan Hills last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is kind of a hybrid of a strong safety, a nickel corner and an outside linebacker. Howell is very good in man coverage and is physical without drawing flags. As a run defender, he's patient and does a good job not letting blockers get to his body. He takes good pursuit angles and is a solid tackler. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/noah_howell3203/status/1998611232723722473?s=20","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/noah_howell3203/status/1998611232723722473?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2106912"],"_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-69c37f306d6e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kazmouz had 60 tackles, 14 for a loss, 6.5 sacks, 21 hurries, two forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries for a very good Laguna Beach team last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He is a long-strider who can get up the field quickly and beat tackles with his speed. As a pass rusher he has some variety to his moves and is great at drawing tackles outside with a stutter step and then ripping into the C gap quickly. Cornell, San Diego State and Fresno State have offered Kazmouz. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/kazmouz40700/status/1991738831838863733?s=20","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/kazmouz40700/status/1991738831838863733?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1623100"],"_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-69c38914d7141"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Matvay had five catches for 75 yards as a tight end last season for JSerra and had 10 tackles with two pass deflections on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He only appeared in four games last season but showed promise as a pass rusher and tackler. Matvay closes to the ball quickly and reads his guards well int he run game. In pass coverage, he is solid in man coverage and has good instincts. He has the frame to add some more muscle this offseason and could be JSerra's leading tackler if he stays healthy. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/GraysonMatvay09/status/2034497721688838444?s=20","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/GraysonMatvay09/status/2034497721688838444?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1508966"],"_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-69c38914d71ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Nucci completed 65 percent of his passes for 208 yards per game with 24 touchdowns and ran for three touchdowns for El Toro last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's a good athlete who can extend plays with his legs and break off a big play on a QB draw or zone/read. Nucci has plus arm strength and has nice touch on the deep throws. He sometimes eyes down his primary target which may be the reason for his 11 interceptions, but the tools are there and he could be due for a big senior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/WyattNucci11/status/1989358633373855921?s=20","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/WyattNucci11/status/1989358633373855921?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- 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":"Jojo Reed","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2495","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Mission Viejo","_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-69c38914d726b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reed had 36 tackles, two sacks and an interception for Mission Viejo last season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's a mix between a traditional corner and a nickel who flies around the field. Reed is excellent dodging blockers to blow up outside pass plays like swings or screens. He's effective in zone coverage and can fly up the field as a blitzer from the secondary. I expect him to have a bigger role in Mission Viejo's secondary this season and he is ready for the expanded role. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/jojo_reeed/status/2033695789877498338?s=20","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/jojo_reeed/status/2033695789877498338?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
