The brother of Boise State QB Hank Bachmeier collected his first offer from Arizona State last month and it figures to be the first of many for this standout wide receiver. He’s a natural at the WR position with strong hands and a large catch radius. He’s a creative yet precise route runner that shows good acceleration out of his breaks and understands how to sell his routes to create separation. Shows a good ability to run after the catch using his size and speed to break tackles and get the tough extra yards. He shows no fear and great concentration catching the ball in traffic and absorbing contact. Bachmeier has great upside and potential with his raw talent and athleticism.
Eric Denham Eric Denham 6'0" | 195 lbs | ATH St. John Bosco | 2023 State CA , Jserra Catholic, ATH, 5’11 175 lbs.
Denham is an extremely versatile athlete with the ability to play multiple positions at the college level depending on how he develops. He’s a game breaking athlete using his speed, quickness, and physicality to make his impact felt all over the field. He has a great natural feel and awareness for the game on both sides of the ball. As a ball carrier, he shows impressive acceleration and power to break tackles or avoid defenders and has the breakaway speed to finish off long gains. On defense, he shows he can play DB or LB where he can use his change of direction to close space quickly and make plays on the ball. Holds offers from ASU and UNLV so far but more Power 5 offers are on the way with his undeniable talent and ability.
Tre Edwards Tre Edwards 6'1" | 210 lbs | LB Mater Dei Catholic | 2023 State CA , Mater Dei Catholic, LB, 5’11 210 lbs.
Tre Edwards Tre Edwards 6'1" | 210 lbs | LB Mater Dei Catholic | 2023 State CA is the nations top ranked linebacker in the 2023 class and a MaxPreps Freshman All-American. He has a good-looking frame going into his sophomore year at 5’11” 210 lbs. with plenty of time to add length and weight to his already strong build. He’s an elite run stopping linebacker that makes quick decisive reads and is a violent but sure tackler in the open field. He has a natural feel for the position and shows good instincts and anticipation to put himself in position to make plays sideline to sideline. Shows good ability in pass coverage using his athleticism and smooth change of direction to make plays on the ball leading to four interceptions his freshman year. He currently holds nine D1 offers and is an elite three-down linebacker with exceptional talent and upside.
Makai Lemon Makai Lemon 6'0" | 175 lbs | ATH Los Alamitos | 2023 State CA , Los Alamitos, WR/DB, 6’0 180 lbs.
Makai’s recruiting has skyrocketed since collecting several early Pac12 offers from Colorado, Oregon State, and USC. In August, he picked up big time Power 5 offers from Florida State, Tennessee, Penn State, and Arkansas. He’s a gifted athlete that can play either side of the ball at WR or DB. He has great feet and start/stop speed that allows him to change direction on a dime and run away from coverage as a wide out or close space quickly as a DB. He shows great ball skills with strong hands and a good ability to adjust to the ball in the air. He’s a very solid overall football player that will be one of the top athletes recruited nationally in the 2023 class.
Javance Tupouata-Johnson, Notre Dame, QB, 6’5” 195 lbs.
The young QB out of Notre Dame picked up his first two offers from Arizona State and San Jose State at the end of August. Javance already has elite size and length at 6’4” 195 lbs. but its his arm talent and athleticism at his size and age that college coaches will notice. Has a quick and tight release with an extremely live arm to make the throws at all three levels whether it be from the pocket or on the run. He’s a good natural athlete with smooth footwork that allows him to throw the ball with accuracy even when off platform. It will be a matter of time before he becomes a national recruit.
