Shank is one of the more well rounded and violent first level defenders across the region and recently picked up his first offer from Nevada earlier this Spring.

Howard is ranked as a 3-star prospect per 247-Sports and is a FBS caliber kid that has been flying a bit under the radar during his prep career, but is a big time edge defender across the state. He is twitchy for his frame, shows first step quickness and natural bend off the edge or when kicked inside and offers some nice position versatility as well. Howard checks in as the number nine defensive lineman in the state, and is very deserving to shoot up our 2024 rankings.

Sanchez is a well put together kid in the middle of this Morenci defense and is a no brainer D-III+ player at the next level and should draw college interest during his Senior season. He plays with heavy hands, quick lock out, and can violently get off blocks without losing ground and resets the LOS quickly. Sanchez now checks in just inside our top 20 and is in line for a monster Senior season and should see his stock rise as he finishes up his prep career.
