He has heavy hands, resets the edge consistently and does a nice job eating up blocks on the edge and using his length and hands at the POA. As a pass rusher, he plays with relentless pursuit to the ball, can get underneath bigger tackles and wins with leverage and sudden power at the point of attack. Day is a very high IQ player when playing blocks, working flat backside and is a tough and physical prospect that should be drawing college interest sooner rather than later.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2124683"],"_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-6a82428d7fc5d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">King is a true deep threat and one of the fastest at the position across northern California. He is a very smooth glider in his strides, has elite downfield speed and separation abilities while able to catch the ball in stride and quickly gain yards after the catch. He tracks the ball well over the top, shows good body control when winning on 50/50 balls and can get behind the defense with ease. King is a true vertical weapon for this passing attack and is twitchy in and out of his breaks with natural hands and coordination in tight windows and is going to be truly special to watch as a Junior. King should see offers starting to come his way way sooner rather than later. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2170510"],"_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-6a7cee36a5c1f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sparrow is a very under the radar kid that can stretch the field and make big plays in open space. He has strong hands in traffic, tracks well over the top and has good body control and balance when going up to win 50/50 balls and is another prospect that should have a giant junior season for the Falcons. His deep downfield speed and big play abilities after the catch makes him a very dangerous weapon on both sides of the ball and is bound to breakout on both sides of the ball in 2026. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2128844"],"_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-6a7cee36a5c75"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bautista is one of the better 2028 prospects in the north bay and can play in the backfield or out wide and make plays downfield. He is explosive and fast off the ball and shows he can make contested catches and win on 50/50 balls across the middle or on the outside. He is a long strider that chunks yardage and can eat up space in the open field. He also shows he can break tackles in space, has cutback abilities and contact balance while showing start/stop skills within his route tree. Expect him to breakout for the Crushers this Fall and be a top 2028 new name to note across the north bay. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
