Zeke Berry Zeke Berry 6'0" | 190 lbs | DB De La Salle | 2022 State CA , ATH, 6’0 185 lbs., De La Salle
Berry is an explosive two-way athlete coming from one of the top programs in the country. He checks all the boxes when it comes to speed, athleticism, and quickness but also coming from De La Salle college programs know he has strong technique and fundamentals. He currently holds eight offers with seven of them being from PAC12 schools and many of them projecting him to play in the secondary where he can use range, fluid hips, and ball skills. He picked up a big offer from Oregon recently and we expect him to work his way into a national recruit entering his junior year.
Zeke Burnett, RB, 5’10 185 lbs., Elk Grove
Zeke collected his first offer from Nevada in late August and has since received three more D1 offers including UNLV, San Jose State, and Colorado. He’s a complete back that possesses a strong compact frame at 5’10” 180 lbs. He is a dynamic playmaker with a good combination of size, speed, and power. He shows good vision in space to find running lanes and good lateral agility to avoid defenders. Colleges like his ability as a natural pass catcher out of the backfield. With his first PAC12 offer under his belt it won’t be long until more take notice of his talent and ability.
Justin Eklund, LB, 6’3” 220 lbs., Folsom
Due to injury, Eklund has been sidelined from game action since his freshman year but that didn’t stop him from picking up his first offer from PAC12 school Arizona State. Since being cleared, he has performed extremely well at camps and showcases where he flashed his versatility and athleticism. He has shown quick feet with good lateral mobility that will allow him to make plays sideline to sideline. Colleges will be eager to see how he responds to game action this upcoming season and if he performs well he could see his recruiting stock skyrocket.
Jadyn Marshall Jadyn Marshall 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR St. Mary's - Stockton | 2022 State CA , WR, 6’0” 185 lbs., St. Mary’s (Stockton)
Marshall’s recruiting has exploded since the spring collecting eight total offers from some of the top programs in the country including Oregon, Auburn, USC, Nebraska, and UCLA. He’s an elite athlete with elite speed making him a lethal threat with the ball in his hands. He racked up over 1,600 scrimmage yards as a sophomore showing great elusiveness, quickness, and acceleration in the open field. He has a great ability to make defenders miss and routinely turns short gains into touchdowns all by himself. He’s one of the top hurdlers in the country and will also be one of the most highly recruited wideouts on the west coast given his potential and upside.
Tanner Salisbury Tanner Salisbury 6'2" | 205 lbs | LB Mater Dei | 2022 State CA , ATH, 6’1 200 lbs., San Ramon Valley
An impact player on both sides of the ball as a sophomore on varsity, Salisbury will be one to watch this upcoming season after picking up an offer from FAU. He’s a natural football player that shows toughness, speed, and playmaking ability. In the slot, he’s a strong route runner that his QB can rely on to get open and shows confident ball skills in traffic. On defense, he’s got a great nose for the football with a good ability to read and react to plays quickly. He’s a strong, physical tackler in the open field and can close space quickly with his speed. He has great upside and we expect his recruiting stock to continue to rise building on his offers from FAU and William and Mary.
