is an incredible all-around athlete and it shows, both on and off the football field. A two-sport athlete who really excels on the diamond, Mesa also plays tight end for Chaparral and has really come through for them in clutch situations. Whether that be finding a way to get open in the redzone when there’s not much room to work with, or completing a pass on a fake punt to get a crucial fourth-down conversion — he’s been a real spark for their offense. Showing a great ability to make catches through contact, he’s a player that defenders want to get to the ground quickly with some nice speed and a mean stiff arm that comes out if he isn’t tackled right away. Mesa’s versatility and game-changing ability make him one of the most unpredictable threats on the field.

Impressive three sport athlete (football/baseball/basketball) with great size, length, and growth potential as a college level TE. At 6’4” 200 lbs. he’s got high level athleticism and coordination skills. Possesses smooth movement skills and can run. Reach and leaping ability give him a large catch radius and shows natural hands at the catch point. Great hand eye coordination to maintain concentration and catch the ball in traffic. Not just a short/intermediate TE, can also push vertically and attack the middle of the field. He’s a tough tackle after the catch combining his speed and strength. He’s quick to get square up the field and can break tackles with good contact balance at the POA. Easily recruitable as a TE with D1 size, skill, and ability.

is a really impressive three-sport athlete out of Chaparral. At 6’4″ he’s automatically a weapon to use on the outside, but then you add in his impressive athleticism and you have an incredibly productive tight end. With his size and reach, he does a great job blocking and just doesn’t give defenders an opportunity to break off. Mesa’s a solid route runner who can use either his speed or strength to get separation. He also does a great job of keeping his legs churning which makes him incredibly hard to bring to the ground. With some changes at the quarterback position, Mesa could really make some noise for Chaparral this season.
