Multiple camps mean multiple reps, leading to multiple opportunities to end up on a recruiting board.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The camp had a solid turnout with a good amount of collegiate-level talent throughout each position group. This article will highlight 15 offensive skills players worthy of attention heading into the fall.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The quarterbacks had <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='836162' first='Jaden' last='Hoffman']</strong> (2024) from Severance, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='251260' first='Frankie' last='Dardano']</strong> (2024) from Denver North, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='404987' first='Darien' last='Jackson']</strong> (2025) from Broomfield, and <strong>Jaaziah Gallegos</strong> (2027) from Riverdale Ridge among their group.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Hoffman and Jackson were on their second camp of the day, so showing off their arms was a little easier with them being slightly warmed up. Dardano stood out early because of his explosive athleticism and carried that fire with him throughout the event. Gallegos is a young player with an extremely high ceiling. He exploded onto the scene earlier in the year during the youth All-Star game that showcased the talents of the state's future elite prospects.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["836162"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6498d4334d107"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JadenHoffman7/status/1672730971022725121?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/JadenHoffman7/status/1672730971022725121?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["404987"],"_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_0_evaluation":"","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6498d4334d169"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Darien16Jackson/status/1672425872358506497?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/Darien16Jackson/status/1672425872358506497?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Wide Receivers | Tight Ends</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the receivers were <strong>Miles Johnson</strong> (2024 TE) from Manual, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='708477' first='Milton' last='Samuel-Cortez']</strong> (2024 WR) from Skyview, <strong>Charles Yanett</strong> (2024 WR) from Chatfield, <strong>Abhi Samuel</strong> (2024 WR) from Pomona, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='283701' first='Ja'Pree' last='Jennings'] </strong>(2026 WR) from Mountain Vista,<strong> [player_tooltip player_id='826250' first='Gavin' last='Montoya']</strong> (2027 WR) from Broomfield, and <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='689789' first='Hudson' last='Rau'] </strong>(2027 WR) from Riverdale Ridge.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Yanett, Samuel-Cortez, and Jennings are names that have been on the radar as high school prospects, while Johnson and Samuel are newer pop-ups.
