He surpassed the 2,000 yard passing marker in 2025 and is poised for another big season this fall. He can navigate the pocket quickly, looks downfield at all times and can get the ball out quick into tight windows with touch and velocity on his throws. He shows he can put some zip on it over the middle and in tight coverage and throw from various angles without losing throw power and can tuck it and run when needed. He should surpass the 2,000+ yard passing mark again as a Junior and is one of the more productive '28 passers we have on this side of the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1717773"],"_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-6a61003332e60"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bess is a big time pickup for the Tigers transferring over from Pinole Valley in the Bay Area and will be one of the more dynamic weapons for Inderkum this season from the backfield or in the slot and return game. He is a fast and twitchy playmaker that can effect the game in all three phases and is a mismatch nightmare downfield while a natural ball carrier from the backfield with vision, body control and open field speed in the clear. He is fast and explosive off the ball, runs good routes and can quickly get in and out of his breaks while showing strong hands in traffic over the middle and can make plays from various body angles with tracking abilities over the top. Bess is also a dynamic returner that excels in space and will have a big time junior season and burst onto the Sacramento area prospect scene soon enough. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1667624"],"_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-6a61003332ea7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Gervase is one of the top linebackers still available across southern California and is going to be a very nice steal for someone here late and is balanced both in the run game and in man coverage downfield. He is a highly instinctual player that reads plays quickly, takes good angles into the backfield and packs a punch at the POA. He shows he can apply pressure up the middle or off the edge with some good bend and active hands/hips at the top of his rushes and is a high motor player that can track down and make plays backside. He also flashes the ability to make plays outside the tackles sideline to sideline and scrapes well over the top while staying square and dipping around or through blockers on his way to the ball. Gervase should be one of the top players in the southland this fall and is a key name to watch on the recruiting trail.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":2251817,"_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-6a61003332e0a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bridwell is one of the top returning players across the northern section and is a do it all linebacker that can make plays off the edge and on the inside as well, banging in the box and playing tough inside. He shows shock and shed abilities quickly, takes good angles when knifing into the backfield on ball carriers and is a very smart player that is always around the ball. He should find his home as a true Mike in college and has the size, frame and athletic movement abilities in order to play at the second level and has added tools and experience as a pass rusher as well. Look for him to be atop multiple stat categories this fall and is a key impact player for one of the top programs in the section. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
