PRZ NV's fourth-ranked OL prospect in the 2026 class was one of the top prospects left on the board after the Signing Day period and held offers from the Rebels and Sacramento St. He's a big, powerful body that figures to slot into an interior role at the next level. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KoloaTausinga/status/2019970145750511683?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KoloaTausinga/status/2019970145750511683?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["876944"],"_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-699ffabcb8ec3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Besser announced his commitment to UNLV on 2/18. The 6'3"/240 OL/DL out of Faith Lutheran solidified himself as one of Vegas' top two-way players in the trenches with his disruptive playmaking on defense and combination of power and mobility on offense. Besser carries strong DL upside as he makes the move to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cj_besser/status/2024145565785657661?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/cj_besser/status/2024145565785657661?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1110893"],"_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-699ffabcb8f11"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Bonnett announced his commitment to Western Colorado in early February. The #6-WR out of Foothill was one of Nevada's most productive wideouts over the past two seasons racking up over 2,000 receiving yards and 20 TDs on 100+ catches. Bonnett is a highly underrated prospect and chose WCU over a handful of D-II and D-III offers. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/bbonnett15/status/2019448964358238572?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/bbonnett15/status/2019448964358238572?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1081844"],"_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-699ffabcb8f99"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blakeley announced his commitment to Nevada in early February and signed with the Wolfpack last week. The 6'5"/320 OL closed out the 2026 rankings as a top-25 prospect after showing his high-level combination of power, violence, and physicality as a leader up front for Mojave. Blakeley came into the offseason as one of the most underrecruited seniors in Nevada and chose the Wolfpack over other offers from Hawaii and Utah Tech.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/justinb__53/status/2019108461519519790?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/justinb__53/status/2019108461519519790?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1599449"],"_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-699ffabcb9001"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Pollard announced his commitment to UNLV in January. PRZ NV's #2-OL prospect in the 2027 class is a massive body at 6'6"/350 that can dominate the trenches and move defenders off the ball with the natural strength and power he carries. Pollard has stayed busy on the recruiting trail locking in an official visit with the Rebels for June and added offers from Boise St. and FIU last month.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/5starphoenix/status/2009882346447688139?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/5starphoenix/status/2009882346447688139?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
