Top 25 Unsigned Seniors
By: Kyle Henderson of NMPreps.com
Signing Day is now in sight and today we take a look at what I feel are the top unsigned seniors high school football prospects in the State of New Mexico. Consider this my big board aka which players I would draft if I would building a college team of uncommitted prospects today.
List of Committed Prospects Here
1. Noah Sweitzer, 6-1, 210, Linebacker, Eldorado
Has an amazing defensive highlight film, shoots gaps like a D1 linebacker, excellent speed. Already holds offers from: Adams State, Western State Colorado, Highlands, Eastern New Mexico, and Ft. Lewis
2. Justin Houghtaling, 6-5, 185, Quarterback, Artesia
As a senior Justin threw for 3,375-yards and 36 touchdowns leading to the Bulldogs to a 12-1 record. Offered to play baseball at New Mexico and recently landed offer to play football at West Texas A&M
3. Grant Hermanns, 6-7, 260, Offensive Tackle, Rio Rancho
Exceptional young man, eagle scout, yes sir, no sir type of a person. Offers from Washington State, New Mexico, and Nevada.
4. Teton Saltes, 6-6, 250, Defensive End, Valley
Big time prospect that is still uncommitted, great athleticism and still very raw. Huge upside on him. Offers from: CAL, Iowa State, New Mexico, Oregon, San Diego State, Texas Tech, Washington, and Washington state
5. Bradley Hatten, 6-6, 310, Defensive Tackle, Grants
Sleeper right here. His quickness and agility for someone his size makes me feel he is a D1 football player. No offers to play football at all, which is unreal.
6. David Inman, 6-1, 180, Safety, Eldorado
Playmaker that shined on both sides for the football for Eldorado. No offers, but I could see him being a walk on guy and then starting a few years, he’s that good. Similar to Reece White from Cleveland that went on to have a great career at New Mexico. No offers at this point.
7. George Nino, 6-0, 310, Offensive Center, Centennial
If he was 6-foot-4, I would be projecting him as a D1 linemen, he has such great technique and is a 4-year starter for Centennial. Holds an offer from Eastern New Mexico.
8. Santos Taylor, 6-2, 285, Offensive Guard, Cleveland
If one guy is going to grab a late D1 offer it might the Taylor from Cleveland who we hear has been in contact with New Mexico State. Offers From: New Mexico Highlands, Western New Mexico, and Eastern New Mexico
9. Caleb Ortiz, 6-4, 220, Defensive End, Estancia
Watch his highlight film, this young man could start anywhere for any team in New Mexico, he is that talented. Holds an offer from Eastern, those coaches are praying no one finds out about him.
10. Idan Urrutia, 6-2, 210, Linebacker, West Mesa
Ran a 4.4 at the NMPreps Elite Combine this past summer. Great athleticism, can’t imagine the type of player he’ll be when he’s 20-years old. No offers.
11. Roope Henry, 6-4, 190, Linebacker, Cleveland
Holds an offer from Eastern New Mexico, but I think Henry could be a D1 guy that plays 3-years after a redshirt season. So much upside with this young man.
12. Josh Williams, 6-1, 190, Quarterback, Quarterback
Cannot believe that Williams hasn’t got a call to play football at the next level. Watch his film and keep an eye on his pocket presence, poise, touch, and running ability. No Offers.
13. Jeremiah Burke, 5-11, 190, Receiver, Silver
Ran a 4.4 at the NMPreps Elite Combine. Good size and I feel that after a few years within a college system, he’ll be a reliable member of the roster, could see him playing defense too. Holds an offer from Eastern New Mexico.
14. Cameron Burkley, 6-0, 275, Offensive Guard, Centennial
Wonderful feet for a linemen, very strong, coachable, great kid. 4-year starter at Centennial High School. Holds an offer from Eastern New Mexico.
15. Demetry Rodriguez, 6-1, 295, Defensive Tackle, Cleveland
Was injured most of the season with a knee injury, but played the last few games of the season. One of the best linemen you don’t know about. Reminds me of Abraham Holland who graduated from Cleveland, then went to play at New Mexico State.
16. Allan Rodriguez, 6-2, 180, Defensive Back, Volcano Vista
Check out his NMPreps Elite Combine Numbers: 4.39 pro-agility and a 9-feet-1 inch broad jump. Playmaker, just one of those guys who turns heads.
17. Dante Urrea, 5-11, 175, Defensive Back, Deming
Played quarterback, defensive back, and running back while in high school. Has an offer on the table from Eastern New Mexico.
18. Nick Mourning, 6-2, 245, Defensive End, Volcano Vista
Three year starter at Volcano Vista, member of the 1,500 pound club, good upside. No offers.
19. Noah Pierce, 6-4, 235, Tight End, Mayfield
Like his size and the ability he has to make the tough catch. A redshirt year and the weight room could turn him into a monster target. No Offers
20. Josh Barton, 6-4, 210, Tight End, Volcano Vista
Redshirt this young man and get him to 225, you should see him catch the football and the athleticism he has. No Offers
21. Jeremy Padilla, 5-11, 175, Running Back, Hobbs
Was a dangerous two-year player for the Hobbs Eagles at both running back and receiver. Get him the football and watch him make plays. No Offers.
22. Jerry Gurrola, 6-2, 210, Defensive End, Centennial
4-year starter at Centennial, good size, speed, and strength. Nose for the football. I could even see him playing outside linebacker in college.
23. Raymond Cole, 6-4, 280, Defensive Tackle, Albuquerque
Still raw, but has the make up to be a player at the next level after a few years within a program. Has an offer from Ft. Lewis.
24. Jimmy Gallegos, 5-9, 190, Defensive Back, Sandia
There are guys that make plays wherever you put them and Sandia’s Jimmy Gallegos is that guy. Coach Kevin Barker said Jimmy’s one of the best he’s ever coached. Offer from Eastern New Mexico.
25. Lukas Gutierrez, 5-foot-10, 190 pounds, Running Back, Goddard
