Expert Analysis
Andy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
Jaxton is an exceptional athlete. He has good quickness, great long speed, and the closing speed and burst needed. He is a twitchy athlete who changes direction on a dime. He’s a traitsy two-way player and dynamic with the ball in his hands. He’s got pristine footwork and a good release off the line. Defensively, he uses his instincts along with his hip fluidity and quick acceleration to be a ball hawk and disrupt passing windows. Great overall athlete.

Jaxton has made the most of his offseason and the athletic playmaker makes the baker’s dozen in our updated rankings. He is a player who is excellent with the ball in his hands and he can make defenders miss with ease. Watching him run routes, it’s almost as if he’s gliding on skates. He has great hip fluidity and is a true playmaker.

Jaxton is a slippery, athletic playmaker with speed for days. He has exceptional hip fluidity and is a creator in space. He displays strong hands and he is someone who can win at all three levels. He is a player who has spent time playing both ways, and his athleticism makes him a natural cover corner. He is someone who has natural instincts on that side of the ball, another fun, premier player but I prefer him as a receiver.

Jaxton is a twitchy athlete who does well in open space and in short to intermediate routes. He’s excellent with the ball in his hand and creating on his own. He’s a big play waiting to happen and someone that you scheme up to get the ball and watch him work. He’s an exciting prospect for the 2027 class.

Itaaehau did an exceptional job last week in finding the endzone twice last week. He is a twitchy athlete and can win at all levels. He’s a player who does well in short area catches where he can create on his own. He is a quick-twitch athlete, and getting him in space is key.

Itaaehau is a defensive nightmare, and he might be the key to the game if Brighton tries to shade coverage towards where Bode is. Itaawhau is a player who will decimate a defense as he can line up anywhere and is a mismatch nightmare. He’s a two-way player that can impact the game on both sides.

Itaaehau is a great athlete and an all around Swiss Army knife. He is a two way player and offensively, he can be lined up anywhere and is a chess piece. He does well creating with the ball in his hands and in space, is absolutely deadly. He does well with orbit sweeps, jet sweeps and has the speed and footwork to win vertically in his routes. He’s the X-factor on the team as opposing defenses can put a safety over the other receivers, but if they do, that potentially puts a safety on Itaaehau and that is a mismatch nightmare. Defensively, he shows great ball skills, instincts and has good burst and closing speed and will make a play on the ball that comes his way.

Itaaehau climbs over 120 spots and is now 37th overall. He’s an exciting two-way player with great instincts, ball skills and footwork. He has great hip fluidity and is strong at the catch point. I prefer him as a WR, but a claim can be made as a defensive back.

Ita’aehau has good size and showcases good athleticism with excellent movement patterns and lateral agility. He has a great hip sink and is a twitchy athlete. Ita’aehau has a diverse route tree with good short routes where he can showcase his vision and create after the catch and also has great vertical routes where he pushes downfield, showcases great ball tracking skills, and strong concentration at the catch point. He is a player who creates separation and is also good at contested jump balls.
