LB Talanoa Ili Class of 2026 Orange Lutheran HS (CA) 6'4",215 TOP 2026 FOOTBALL RECRUIT Player notes - Top 2026 LB recruit Talanoa Ili was added to the College Football Today & ESPN Plus 2026 Top Football Recruit Rankings, as he was identified early as one of the top playmakers on the defensive side of the football nationally. Since then, Talanoa has earned an early offer from the University of California and he will look to solidify himself as a potential 2026 All-American linebacker recruit this season at Orange Lutheran HS in California. Talanoa can be witnessed causing mayhem coming off the edge in his 8th grade season highlights and he possesses the lateral agility to cover from sideline to sideline. Ili is able to quickly collapse the opposing teams pocket using highly active hands to detach quickly from opposing blockers and possesses an extremely high motor to be able to track ball carriers down from the backside. Top 2026 LB recruit Talanoa Ili will rank highly on the College Football Today & ESPN Plus 2026 Top Football Recruit Rankings and we are eager to watch him take to the field during his freshman season campaign in California. |

LB Jaxon Pyatt Class of 2026 Arvada West HS (CO) 6'1",215 GPA - 3.5 Player notes - New Top 2026 football recruit Jaxon Pyatt could potentially become the highest recruited high school football player in the history of the state of Colorado, as he is way ahead of the curve in respects to molding himself into becoming a ferocious and highly adept athletic freak at the linebacker position. As a only a freshman, Pyatt is capable of completely taking over a game with the physicality he exhibits coming off the edge and possesses the agility, speed and high motor to cover a vast amount of territory when tracking ball carriers down from sideline to sideline. Jaxon also demonstrates the ability to quickly sink into hook/curl cover and undercut passes to make game-changing interceptions, as he makes very smooth transitions when flipping his hips while keeping his eyes on the plays development. He is very instinctive when reading his keys and is able to shoot quickly past opposing blockers into the backfield to bring ball carriers tenaciously to the turf, as he is one of more sure tacklers that I have evaluated at this juncture in the recruitment process. New Top 2026 LB recruit Jaxon Pyatt has been added to the 2026 Top 150+ Football Recruit Rankings and will be rising rapidly up college football recruiting boards nationally with the tremendous body of work he has been able to put together in his young career. |

LB Trentin Maupin Class of 2026 Plainville HS (KS) 5'11", 200 GPA - 4.0 Top 2026 LB recruit Trentin Maupin is a hard hitting linebacker out of Plainville HS in Kansas who demonstrates superior athleticism as well as stout run stuffing & sure tackling capabilities. Maupin has extremely impressive combine and weight room numbers which can be attributed to his tenacious work ethic & will to better himself daily on & off the field of play. He has proven to be highly effective at shedding blocks before hog tying ball carriers to bring them abruptly to the turf when exploding into running lanes. Maupin also possesses a very impressive 4.0 GPA and will be a prospect coming out of the midwest region to watch during his junior campaign as he potentially could be a diamond in the rough at the inside or outside linebacker position. |
