Which 2029 Prospects are You Missing?

The 2029 class is full of great developmental talent. I selected 5 players who you need to put on your radar. With more refinement to their technique and improving each day, these players have potential to be top Colorado prospects. Let's dive into it.    Day measures in at 6'4 280-pounds playing left tackle for Grandview. As a freshman, he was starting at the varsity level. Day is a prospect with a lot of potential, and when it's all said and done, don't be surprised when he's one of the top tackles in Colorado. Day has good athletic ability due to his good acceleration and speed. Good knee bend and flexibility. Good initial quickness out of his stance with good hand speed. Very good strength. Very good hand placement and hand strength to control and steer his opponent out of the way. Uses his hand speed to combat pass rush techniques. Day excels at run blocking on the move. Uses his athleticism to get out in space and block for his guys. Good speed from 1st to 2nd level blocks. Very good pull blocking. He gets low and rips through his opponent. Day has a good anchor. Consistently plays through the whistle with a high motor. Watch out for Waylon Day.     Lockhart is a rising two-way player in the state of Colorado with stats to back it up. Measures in at 6'2 playing linebacker / running back for Delta. Last season, he 81 total tackles (14 solo, 65 assisted), 8 TFL, 3 FR, 1 PD, 68 carries for 542 yards with 5 touchdowns. He has good athletic ability due to very good speed, balance, good change of direction, and acceleration. As a running back, he displays good vision to pick, slide, and accelerate into the open hole. Very good inside running. Lockhart will use his size and strength to gain yards after contact. He'll truck through them or use his balance to bounce off defenders. As a linebacker, he has good read and reaction speed. Very good blitz take off speed squeezing through gaps to get the tackle for a loss. Good pass coverage skills as well. He's proven to impact the varsity level. With more improvement of his skills, he's a must know name to watch in the class of 2029.     Zehel is a developing prospect for Vista Ridge. Plays RB/WR/FS. Measures in at 5'7 145-pounds. Zehel displays good athletic ability due to very good balance, good acceleration, speed, and change of direction. He has good vision with good inside running. While there's room to grow, Zehel already exhibits traits that will propel him forward. Such as his balance and ball adjustment skills. Zehel uses his very good balance to churn forward for extra yards, breaking tackles or using a good spin move for extra yards. Very good ball adjustment skills. He'll pluck the ball thrown above or below him. He has also shown a willingness to block for his teammates and gets physical with his opponents while doing so. As a safety, he demonstrates good read and reaction speed with solid tackling. I'm intrigued to see how he continues to develop and gain more opportunities to showcase his skills.     Gerbers led all Colorado freshman in tackles this past season. Measures in at 6'0 190-pounds. Last season, he had 99 total tackles (27 solo, 72 assisted), 16 TFL, 1 sack, with 2 QB pressures. He has good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, acceleration, good speed, change of direction, and jumping. Gerbers uses his good read and reaction speed to consistently put himself in position to succeed. Very good sideline to sideline range and into his zone responsibility. Gerbers is a great run stopper. Uses his strength and tackling to stop them in their tracks. Uses his explosive blitz take off speed and very good block shedding to get through the offensive line and into the backfield. Good pass coverage as well. I'm excited to see how his high school career goes, and has already built a strong foundation.     Quintero is another weapon for standout QB Marquise Reese at Mountain Vista. Measures in at 6'2 170-pounds playing wide receiver and defensive back. Very good athletic ability due to very good change of direction, speed, acceleration, and good jumping. Good release against both press jam and off coverage. He uses his very good separation quickness to consistently get open. Whether it's outrunning the defender at the top of the route, fighting through contact, or exploiting a void, Aiden is your man. Very good ball tracking with good catching. Very good ball adjustment and good body control. Once the ball is in his hands, he uses his home run speed to blaze past defenders into the endzone. I'm very excited to see how he does this upcoming season.
