TE: Colin Farquhar, 6’4, 220
A quick tight-end prospect who can get it done inline or out of the slot. Colin is a physical blocker who keeps his feet moving on contact and is equipped with a heavy punch. On tape, Colin has exceptional hands and can work the field at just about every level. He’s fearless going across the middle and understands holes in zone coverages. He has a knack for getting open off bootlegs and will consistently pick up yards after contact. He currently holds one offer from Northern Colorado.
LB: Jackson Adams Jackson Adams 6'4" | 230 lbs | DL Arapahoe | 2022 State CO , 6’4, 225, Arapahoe
A physical run-stuffer with phenomenal closing speed. Adams lines up as a 3-4 outside linebacker and is willing to do the dirty work in the run game. He can lower his shoulder, keep his outside arm free and take on any puller. He’s also capable of bullying blockers head-on and will get extension before ripping off to make a tackle. Adams even showed the ability to put his hand in the dirt and rush off the edge as a true five-technique. He only played twelve full quarters of football this fall, but you can tell the talent is there. To me, he’s either a will or mike linebacker at the next level.
ATH: Luke Meyer, 6’5, 210
I listed luke as an athlete because he played literally all over the field in 2020. This is a sporty prospect who has potential at multiple different positions. He’s got great bend and a quick first step when coming off the edge. He plays with violent hands, often smacking away an opposing tackles punch in pass protection. He’s shown the ability to open his hips, drop into coverage and read the quarterback. He’s got extremely long arms and will throw them up to bat away a pass if he can’t get to the quarterback. Right now, he holds two offers from Air Force & Northern Colorado, look for more to come soon.
Jareb Ramos Jareb Ramos 6'4" | 270 lbs | DL Arapahoe | 2022 State CO , 6’4, 260, Arapahoe
A high effort 3-technique who can kick outside in pass rush downs and get after the quarterback. Ramos can overpower interior offensive linemen with not only his quickness but also his strength. His first step is exceptional and he fires off the ball like a missile aiming for his target. Ramos fought off double teams & chips all year long and was still able to be a disruptive force. This young man was TFL waiting to happen in 2020 and I think he’s no question got FBS potential. He currently holds one offer from Penn.
TE: Aidan Achtziger, 6’3, 220, Erie
The first thing that standouts to me about Aidan is the sheer physicality that he displayed on tape. This young man is willing to totally give up his body as a blocker to ensure he gets the job done. His punch has some serious pop behind it and it looks more like that of a lineman than a tight end. Aidan is a bruiser after the catch and is rarely brought down by the first attempted tackler. As a pass-catcher, he can contort his body in awkward positions to make spectacular catches on poorly thrown balls.
