<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The season is brand new and with it, comes a brand new crop of prospects across the country. The state of Colorado received a significant shot in the arm a few years ago with the arrival of Deion Sanders as HC of the Buffs and there's a sense of rejuvenation of football throughout the Box State. Below are some 2031 prospects that are already standing out and should have the next level very interested.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2373164"],"_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-6a9ad9cebab76"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">There has been a ton of buzz surrounding Tillman for several years and rightfully so, at this point he's the No.1 Colorado 2031 prospect. Standing 6'1 with extraordinary length and elite speed, the offers are already starting to come in with Florida State and Colorado State extending in June 2026. He's done just about everything there is to do in Colorado on the youth football scene including a CYFI MVP in March 2026. The elite speed I mentioned before isn't just <em>"Box State fast"</em> is All-American fast, as he finished 2nd in the 200m at Adidas Nationals with a PR of 23.17. My suggestion: <strong>Offer now</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1856988"],"_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-6a9ad9cebabd5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Like [player_tooltip player_id='2373164' first='Saint' last='Tillman'], another prospect that has had significant buzz around him for some time is [player_tooltip player_id='1856988' first='Bolt' last='Flores']. Flores looks like he was created in lab, sporting a varsity-ready build and the strength that comes along with it. After a successful stint with the Box State Bruins in 2025, he's playing with Cherry Creek this year, a perennial powerhouse in the state across all level every year. Flores is playing on the Edge this year but looks like an ideal fit as a Linebacker as he progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2373322"],"_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-6a9b05c891929"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reportedly standing in the neighborhood of 6'2 and 215 pounds, Leatimua Jr. is a prospect that could ultimately end up being the top prospect in this 2031 class when all is said and done. He checks all the boxes physically with size, speed and excellent feet for a prospect his size. He moves exceptionally well and also stands out in Rugby because of this. Due to his agility, coaches get the ball in his hands on offense but his ability to go hunting on defense makes the difference.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2373259"],"_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-6a9ad9cebac26"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Denver Mustangs are a loaded team offensively with arguably the best starting five up front in the entire state. While Tackle to Tackle they're all impressive individually, [player_tooltip player_id='2373259' first='Hunter' last='Semingsen'] has really stood out on film. He bends very well for a youth lineman and looks very sound fundamentally, as he brings his hips and rarely gets over extended. He has the power to run block with great success but also the footwork and length to stand up edge rushers in pass pro.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1513488"],"_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-6a9ad9cebac71"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Following the same cadence as [player_tooltip player_id='1856988' first='Bolt' last='Flores'], Gipson also played with the Box State Bruins last year but will instead be a Cherry Creek Bruin this year. Gipson gives up some size at 5'5 and 145 pounds but at the same time, he's one of the most dynamic players on the field. While he lines up primarily at Running Back he does split out as a Wide Receiver too and also plays some DB. As a Running Back his balance is impressive. He does a nice job of absorbing hits and maintaining that low center of gravity to continue upfield. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
