Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Hinojosa measures in at 5’10 165-pounds playing safety for Mesa Ridge. This past season, he had 90 total tackles (55 solo, 35 assisted), 10 TFL, 1 QB pressure, 1 INT, 3 PD, 2 FF, and 1 FR returned for a touchdown. Hinojosa has good athletic ability due to very good acceleration, speed, good jumping, and change of direction. He ranges from a deep safety, the box, and even the line of scrimmage. Good read and reaction time. Good back pedal. When he locks onto a target, he’s like a heat seeking missile. Hinojosa doesn’t stop till the ball carrier in his grasp. Very good tackling and is hard hitter. He’ll crowd the line of scrimmage and blitz. Very good blitz take off speed paired with good block shedding. Hinojosa does a good job in both man and zone as well. Look for him to take another step in his development!

Hinojosa had a great game in round 1 against Loveland. The FS measures in at 5’9 160-pounds. He had 10 total tackles, 1 TFL, and 1 fumble recovery for a touchdown. He has good athletic ability due to very good speed, good acceleration, change of direction, and jumping. Hinojosa has very good range from his zone responsibility to sidelines and line of scrimmage. He has good read and reaction time. Very good tackling and run support. He uses his good strength to hit the running back and knock them off their balance. He’s a productive special teamer too. Bringing his grit and fire to that 3rd phase of football. I’m excited to see how he plays going forward.

Hinojosa was a player that was able to turn some heads this summer at DB and can get it done at receiver as well. At DB he is smooth in his technique, showing good footwork and being able to open up his hips to run with receivers. He can get hands on and disrupt receivers on their route and stay over top. At receiver he has good hands and can come down with difficult catches. He is a good route runner and can create separation.

Hinojosa is a freshman who had a good performance. He measures in at 5’9 152 pounds. His combine stats are as follows: 4.93 40-yard dash, 4.81 shuttle, 8’0 broad jump, 7.64 L-drill. Hinojosa showed a good back peddle during the drills. Able to keep up with the WR and give him problems. If he got beat during one play, he’d get back and compete the next. Good footwork.
