2029 Watch List: Which Prospects Are On The Rise?

The 2029 class is full of young talent ready to show the rest of Colorado what they are made of. Today, I selected a handful of both offensive and defensive players that you should get familiar with. These players will be making big plays during the fall time. Let's dive into my analysis.    Bryson measures in at 5'10 150-pounds playing wide receiver for Northfield. Bryson displays good athletic ability due to very good jumping, good acceleration, change of direction, and speed. Good release against both off coverage and the press jam. Bryson has good separation quickness. He'll fight through contact or occasionally outrun the defender to get open. He excels when catching the ball. Very good ball tracking and good catching. Very good ball adjustment and body control. He's able to contort his body while keeping his feet inbounds on sideline catches or awkward catching angles. Bryson does a great job high pointing the ball and catching the ball above him. He's an exciting young player to watch for.     Kool is tri-sport varsity athlete, playing basketball and basketball. Measures in at 5'9 170-pounds. Kool had 77 total tackles (33 solo, 44 assisted), 1 TFL, 2 FR, 63 carries for 268 yards with 2 touchdowns, including 3 receptions for 29 yards. He has good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, acceleration, change of direction, good balance, speed, and jumping. Physical downhill linebacker with good reaction speed. Kool consistently keeps an eye on the football leading to his 2 fumble recoveries. He displays good tackling ability and very good competitive toughness. As a running back, he uses his quick feet to pivot into open holes. Slides and accelerates through the defense for big gains. Kool does a good job gaining yards after contact due to his balance and juke moves. I believe he will continue to thrive as the years progress.     Abernathy is a developing TE/MLB for Burlington. He also runs track and field. He measures in at 5'10 158-pounds. Last season, he had 17 total tackles (6 solo, 11 assisted). Abernathy has good athletic ability due to good lateral quickness, solid acceleration, and speed. In limited action, he showed his competitive toughness and willingness to play through the reps. Good tackling and will help teammates finish tackles. With more opportunities and reps going forward, look for Abernathy to take that next step in his development.     Soriano measures in at 5'10 160-pounds. 9.5” hand size with a 4.0 GPA. Last season, he threw for 2155 yards, 65.2% completion on 161/247 with 26 TDs and 11 interceptions. Soriano is currently a pocket passer. He has good athletic ability due to good acceleration, speed, and change of direction. He displays a very good release with good throw power. Soriano does a great job in the pocket. Uses his good pocket presence with controlled footwork to evade pressure and find the open man downfield. He throws an accurate ball with good ball placement skills. If no one is open, he'll use his athletic ability to scramble for a first down or extend plays. He's got a great foundation to build off of as he continues to develop as a quarterback.     Sauer is a DB/WR for Roosevelt also running track and field. Measures in at 5'10 140-pounds. He was one of the leaders in interceptions amongst 2029. He had 6 total tackles, 0.5 sack, and 2 interceptions.

He'll match receivers breaking out into their route and use his closing quickness to create pass breakups or intercept the ball. Good ball tracking and catching. Sauer displays good man coverage and zone coverage ability. Solid in run support. Keep an eye on Sauer throughout camp season.
