QB Jaden Rashada Jaden Rashada 6'4" | 185 lbs | QB Pittsburg | 2023 State CA , Pittsburg HS
Rashada is one of the top quarterbacks in the entire Nation and has been battling it out with Senior and battle-tested quarterback Eli Brickhandler during his Sophomore season. In week 5 he threw 4 touchdowns and tacked another 1 TD on the ground. A strong armed and mobile QB, Rashada stands tall in the pocket and can run when needed with good long speed and pocket awareness. Overall, he is one of the top prospects the Bay Area has seen since the likes of Joe Mixon and Najee Harris, among others.
RB Jack Carner, Pioneer HS
Carner is one of the top ’23 backs in the area and will build off a strong second year next Fall. This week, the Woodland area star erupted for 190 yards and 5 touchdowns against Dixon. He is an explosive back with good acceleration and contact balance while able to catch the ball out of the backfield and make big plays with limited opportunities.
WR/DB Dylan Decelle, Casa Roble HS
Decelle is one of the top defensive backs in the region and had a terrific week 5 with a 90+ yard pick six and 3 interceptions for the Rams defense. A third level with natural instincts that breaks well to ball carriers and has good high point ability/ball skills, he has FCS potential at the next level and will continue to be one of the top defensive backs in the section next season.
RB Donovan Garvin, Davis HS
Although taking a loss to a loaded Cosumnes Oaks squad, Garvin had a very solid performance with 164 yards and two touchdowns while adding an interception on defense. He is a college level caliber player at the next level and can play multiple positions.
QB Anthony Grigsby, Cosumnes Oaks HS
Grigsby is an explosive athlete with the ball in his hands with elite pocket mobility and a quick release. In week 5 against Davis, he threw 4 touchdowns and lead his team to a very good win over one of the regions top teams. Still unsigned, he is one of the top unsigned dual-threat quarterbacks in Northern California.
RB/DL Dylan Logelin, Placer HS
Logelin is a tough runner in-between the tackles and runs behind his pads while keeping his legs driving through contact and having a natural forward lean. He can play multiple positions at the next level and had a terrific Week 5 performance with 150 rushing yards, 1 TD and 2 sacks.
RB Kai Hall Kai Hall 5'8" | 175 lbs | RB Saint Vincent de Paul | 2023 State CA , St. Vincent de Paul HS
Hall is coming off a record breaking Freshman season for the mustangs and did not disappoint in week 5 of this Spring season. Hall has elite vision and lateral agility in the open field and exploded for 225+ yards against El Molino and will be one of the top backs in the Bay Area this coming Fall.
