Oelkers is coming off a tremendous off-season so far and solid sophomore year campaign where he tallied 700 APY with 5 touchdowns and should be a dominant force as a junior for Rocky Mountain. He has seen his stock rise in recent days after exploding at the UC Report camp over the weekend in Utah where he worked out as both a running back and receiver, and took home MVP Honors at the end of it. He is a dynamic athlete that runs crisp routes, has elite tracking abilities in traffic and strong hands while able to create seperation downfield and is excellent after the catch with return abilities as well. He checks into our initial rankings release as the top prospect in the 2028 class across Idaho and should see offers start to come in through his Junior year.     Leveque checks into our updated rankings as the number two prospect in the 2028 class and is coming off a monster sophomore campaign for Lake City. He has a very projectable frame with a huge catch radius and strong hands when going up to make contested plays on the ball. He shows he can quickly get off the ball and chunk yardage with long strides, is a true deep threat and wins consistently on 50/50 balls and is very effective when going up to attack at the POA. A very fluid mover for his size with the body control and big play abilities needed, he should be drawing plenty of college attention through his Junior year and has been flying under the radar so far.     Clay is going to be one of the most dynamic and explosive athletes across the state this year regardless of class, and is a explosive playmaker with the ball in his hands that can take over a game in all three phases. He is a natural route runner with quick breaks, locates the ball from various positions and has strong hands with highpoint abilities while able to create seperation downfield and make tacklers miss in space. A very high IQ player with vision, contact balance and start/atop abilities, he should fit nicely as a slot receiver or defensive back in college and is going to be drawing plenty of attention here soon across western region schools.     Careaga checks into our ranking as a top five player in the 2028 class and is a very intriguing safety prospect that tackles well in space, is not afraid to drop down in the box and make plays in the open field while also showing a very high IQ and natural instincts at the third level. He has good range and closing speed, takes the proper angles and has fluid hips in coverage, change of direction awareness and can make plays on the ball at the POA. He is a key name to keep a close eye on through his junior season and is another breakout candidate in 2026.     Washow checks into our rankings release as a top offensive lineman in the class and has the ideal size, natural bend/athletic mold and violent finish needed. He snaps out of his stance, gets hands on quick and gets underneath defenders with a strong base while able to finish downfield and block at the second level/when pulling across the LOS. He has good feet in his block progression and can sustain downfield with inside hands placement and stays within his frame with patient hands in pass protection. He should fit nicely at either guard or tackle in college depending on the level and is another prospect that will start seeing college interest come his way as his junior season gets underway.
