College coaches love his size and he is very strong at the point of attack. He knows how to use his length in the run game and as a pass rusher. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Fakatou has offers from Ohio State, Georgia, Texas A&amp;M and LSU among others.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RivalsHS/status/2029642072106438910?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/RivalsHS/status/2029642072106438910?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1197240"],"_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-69aa97880c34f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Dezeurn caught 64 passes for 1372 yards with 21 touchdowns for a Palisades team that reached the City Section Open Division playoffs. He also had five interceptions and a forced fumble on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Dezeurn has transferred to Westlake and the City Section is losing one of its best college prospects. The Oklahoma commit earned All-City honors and is one of the top track guys in Southern California. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/adamgorney/status/2029243357533499873?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/adamgorney/status/2029243357533499873?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2054342"],"_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-69aa97880c39e"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hunter caught 29 passes for 409 yards with four touchdowns for Orange as a sophomore and had two interceptions with a forced fumble on defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He's fast and joins a Chaparral team which has one of the best receiving units in the state. I like Hunter best as a corner in man coverage but he's also a very good receiver who ran good routes at the Elite 11 Regional recently. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KingstonHunter_/status/2027451266901938688?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/KingstonHunter_/status/2027451266901938688?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1293191"],"_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-69aa97880c3e3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Roberts led Yorba Linda in receiving last season with 611 yards on 40 catches with six touchdowns and earned Bravo League Offensive Player of the Year honors.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He joins a Crean Lutheran receiving corps that has its top guy back but graduated some other top contributors. Roberts is a versatile receiver who can play out wide or in the slot and he is good making plays after the catch on in-breaking routes. He isn't a burner that creates a lot of separation with his speed, but he is great on 50/50 balls.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/TroyRoberts_4/status/1998475899596071003?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/TroyRoberts_4/status/1998475899596071003?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/mikehuntley63/status/2028961475780587928?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/mikehuntley63/status/2028961475780587928?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621281"],"_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-69aa97880c429"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saucedo had a monster season at Monrovia in 2024 and was playing well in 2025 before an injury sidelined him midway through the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>He has arm talent and can fit the ball into tight windows and drive the ball down the field when needed.
