With 1,394 yards and 19 touchdowns on 134 carries, the 2027 prospect has been a driving force behind Manteca’s undefeated season. A big-time playmaker and one of the top underclassmen in the Central Valley, he’s shown the kind of polish and production that projects well to the next level. His game speed pops on film—he hits creases decisively, showing sharp cuts, strong vision, and balance through contact. He consistently absorbs hits while keeping his forward momentum, turning would-be short gains into chunk plays. A well-rounded back whose D1-caliber skill set checks all the major boxes: burst, toughness, and playmaking ability. Four offers to date from Nevada, Washington State, Sacramento State, and Cal.

Juarez has been on a absolute tear this season against some of the top competition in Norcal and is one of the top ball carriers in this 2027 class that we have across the state. He has been a high impact guy since his freshman season for Manteca and currently holds offers from Washington State and Nevada with others sure to come in this off-season. He has been running for over 150+ yards every week to start the season and picked up right where he left off the week before rushing for 300 yards and 3 touchdowns on only 18 carries on the night against a always tough and well coached Central Catholic team.

Juarez had one of the most dominating performances of any player across northern California on Friday night, and ran wild over Cardinal Newman in a state top 50 clash in the north bay. He rushed for well over 200 yards and 3 scores in a blowout win over the Cardinals and is looking to be one of the top backs across California in the 2027 class after also coming off a huge off-season at multiple camp stops. He currently holds offers from Nevada, Sac State and Washington State.

Juarez has been on a tear this season and is finally back from a mid-season injury he sustained, just in time for the vaunted SJS playoffs. He is one of the top 2027 running backs across northern California and a no brainer FBS caliber prospect that should see a slew of other schools come in this off-season and offer. He has a stellar showing this week against a tough Oakdale rushing for over 260 yards and 2 touchdowns, bringing his season total to 1,150 yards rushing in only 8 games played while averaging just over 6 yards per carry. Juarez will play a big piece in how far Manteca can go in the SJS playoff’s and the Buffalo’s are a sneaky good candidate to be there at the end as they always thrive in November.

Juarez is coming off a stellar off-season where he picked up his first offer from Nevada after a strong showing at the Northwest Showcase in June, and is off to a fast start in his Sophomore campaign for the Buffalos. He exploded for 235 yards on the ground and 4 scores on Friday night, showing why he is one of the top rushers across northern California, regardless of class. Only a ’27 prospect he is a no brainer FBS caliber back that should really see his recruitment pickup this off-season and through the Fall.

Electric with the ball in his hands, Juarez is one of the top ranked 2027 prospects from the Central Valley. He’s got the quick burst to be elusive in the open field and the top-end speed to break away from defenders. Flashes plus field vision and patience to find and exploit running lanes. Agile in making sharp cuts and changing direction while maintaining balance in tight spaces. Can absorb and break contact while maintaining his forward momentum to pick up tough yardage. Well-rounded skillset that can catch the ball out of the backfield or lining up in the slot. Ran for 235 yards and four touchdowns in first game as a sophomore on just 17 carries. First offered by Nevada in June.
