Kiko Farinas is a compact, explosive slot weapon at 5-9, 165 pounds who’s all about quickness and making plays in space. He eats up cushions with sharp cuts, eludes defenders post-catch, and thrives as a return specialist with his vision and burst. He has reliable hands and ability to turn short throws into big gains. Versatile enough to line up outside or motion into the backfield, but his frame might limit him against bigger press corners; adding strength will help. Projects as a dynamic gadget guy in a spread offense, potentially a high-volume target with P5 starter potential.

Bless to be able to showcase my talent & compete against some of the best players in the west coast at the Nike Opening !@adamgorney @GregBiggins @BrandonHuffman @chaparralpumafb @Coach_Ramer @CoachDeeWR @TomLoy247 @BlairAngulo pic.twitter.com/7Ho2yXs48p
