He shut down his recruitment and committed to the Mustangs and is part of a loaded 2027 class they are already putting together. He should have a monster senior season and is a key name to note across the central valley. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2245955"],"_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-6a5d96c7a5d34"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Offer:</strong> Eastern Washington </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Notes: </em></strong>Goodman picked up his first offer from the Eagles and is a very well put together athlete from way up in the northern section and is one of the top small school players in the entire state. Goodman has dominated lower level competition but has the frame, fluidity and positional balance to make a good impact at the FCS+ level and should see some other offers come his way as well. The dual-sport athlete is in for a monster Senior season as he is a mismatch nightmare for anyone in that section and division. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2242931"],"_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-6a5d96c7a5dea"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Offer:</strong> Eastern Washington </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Notes:</em></strong> The newly added tight end prospect to the norcal ranks is another under the radar guy with some good potential and upside in college. He has a massive frame with consistent hands and can go up and win at the POA. He should draw plenty more FCS+ attention and offers coming up soon and is going to be a late riser and nice steal once signing day rolls around after the season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2065943"],"_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-6a5d96c7a5ea4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Offer:</strong> Boston College </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Notes:</em></strong> Pitts is the next young up and coming big tackle prospect out of northern California and has the frame and feet/athletic mold to be a true tackle in college. He has tons of upside and untapped potential while still very young but should develop into a sure fire start-able P4 tackle and his recruitment will be one to watch and he should really explode into the scene next off-season after his Sophomore season is wrapped up. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2251217,"_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-6a5d96c7a5f53"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Offer:</strong> San Diego, Pacific </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Notes:</em></strong> Lucatello has finally gathered his first FCS offer from the Torreros in the PFL Conference and is one of the top lineman in Northern California after a stellar Junior season. He is tough and physical at the POA while stout against the run with a natural twitch in pass rush situations and is a very well rounded prospect that dominates on both sides of the ball and is a POY candidate across the region. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2251219,"_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-6a5d96c7a6000"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Offer:</strong> Princeton </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Notes:</em></strong> The Serra product is hands down one of the more exciting players to watch across the Bay Area and he has tons of upside with a very projectable frame and huge catch radius downfield. He is a good route runner, gets in and out of his breaks quickly while able to pluck the ball out of the air and make plays over the top of defenders when making contested catches. He is a overall very smooth athlete and should have a true breakout Junior season for this absolutely loaded Serra team returning. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2106903"],"_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-6a5d96c7a60ae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>New Commitment:</strong> Fresno State </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong><em>Notes:</em></strong> Watkins is a very high upside and freaky athlete with outstanding ball skills, downfield speed and seperation abilities in the open field.
