Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Esparza is a two-way athlete playing both WR and DB. Measuring in at 5’9 160 pounds, he had 23 receptions for 254 yards and 1 touchdown. As a DB, he had 23 total tackles, (9 solo, 14 assisted), and 2 TFL. He has good athletic ability due to very good change of direction , jumping, good acceleration, and speed. He uses his very shift feet to have a good release at the line of scrimmage. Esparza uses his quick cuts to get open, and has good separation quickness. He’ll fight through the contact during the route. Good ball tracking skills and catching. He also has good body adjustment and will contort his body to make the catch. When the ball is in his hands, he uses his very good change of direction to juke out defenders and get extra yardage. I’m very excited to see how he does this upcoming season.

I had the pleasure of watching Esparza perform first-hand at one of our showcases. The dual-sport athlete brought his talents both to track and field team, as well as the football squad. The WR had 23 receptions for 254 yards and 1 touchdown. 23 total tackles (9 solo, 14 assisted), and 2 TFL. Esparza has good athletic ability due to his very good jumping, change of direction, good acceleration, and speed. Good release against both off coverage and press jam. Uses his very shifty feet to get an advantage of the defensive back. Good separation quickness due to his athletic ability and play strength. Good ball tracking and catching. Good body control. Small but mighty, he’ll fight through contact and come down with the contested catch. After the catch, he uses dynamic juke moves to make defenders miss. I’m excited to see how Esparza does next season after a stellar start to the off-season.

Esparza emerged as one of the most exciting wide receivers to watch, excelling with his speed, smooth route running, and strong hands. From testing to one-on-one drills, Esparza stood out as a dynamic playmaker who consistently created separation and turned heads with his ability to finish plays. His combination of athleticism and precision made him a tough cover throughout the day, and his impressive consistency earned him recognition as one of the top receivers at the camp. Esparza’s stock is clearly on the rise, and he’s a must-watch prospect moving forward.
