He is a true plug in the middle that can shock and shed off blocks on his way to ball carriers, has closing speed and takes good angles in the open field and shows he can redirect/scrape over the top with redirect abilities as well. He is a high IQ kid that can sniff out plays before triggering and packs a punch at the POA playing with toughness and a physicality at all times. UNLV has already offered and look for plenty of other FCS and FBS schools to come in and offer over the next 18 months and he is a no-brainer to enter into our rankings in the next player updates. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2238922,"_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-6a4453c238ef9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reyna is one of the top 2028 offensive line prospects in the bay area and is a nasty mauler that can sustain blocks downfield and finish with nasty intentions. He snaps out of his stance, gets heavy hands on quickly and can win with leverage and initial power at the POA. Reyna shows he can sustain blocks, plays with a strong base and stays within his frame while showing finish abilities and is seemingly comfortable blocking out in space and is efficient in pass protection with his strike timing and lower half balance and power. Look for plenty of FCS schools to come in and show interest through his junior year and for him to see his stock rise through out the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2100424"],"_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-6a4453c238f33"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Trujillo is a very sound and physical runner especially for a rising junior and one of the best in his class across southern California. He is a north and south runner that squares his shoulders and is tough to tackle once he gets going, bounces off of tackles and never goes down on first contact. He shows good patience to get behind his blocks, has cutback abilities and a third level gear in the clear and is a bigger back that will excel in the right system in college. Trujillo should be on plenty of boards after his Junior season and will fit any FCS program nicely looking for a bigger bruiser at the position and should be atop the rushing ranks across the southern section in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124689"],"_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-6a4453c238f68"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lacy is a dual-threat passer that does a nice job improvising in the pocket and extending plays with his legs before delivering the ball downfield. He keeps his eyes moving through his progressions quickly, can throw a tight spiral with accuracy and zip on the ball while on the run and is not afraid to take a shot in the pocket to throw downfield. On deeper balls, he puts good touch on it, throwing his receivers open and away from defenders and is a high IQ passer with plus athletic traits even-though he is not asked to run often. Lacy is one of the top '28 signal callers in the central valley and will be a household name after his Junior season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
