<p>Five players from the class of 2026 are featured here as they are players ranked in the top 25 in the state who have yet to commit to a college program. They are undoubtedly weighing their options as they all have the ability to be difference-making talents at the next level. It will be exciting to see what school they choose when that time comes.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">The No. 2 rated player in the state and the top-rated player at her position, Antonucci has not committed yet (that I know of) but she undoubtedly has a ton of options. She is quite a player, and magnificently skilled. She can control the ball in the midfield with such ease as it does not look like she has to put much effort into it, but she will be moving faster than those around her. She can operate in tight areas, take on multiple defenders and win, and create for team. She has wonderful anticipation, she can really pick a pass and thread the needle and she jus shows excellent processing speed.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Villalpando is an incredibly hard-working player that contributes on both ends of the pitch. She helps her team in all facets as she is extremely talented on the ball, showing top-flight technical skills and ability. She can do anything she wants on the ball as she can manipulate it, she can carry, she can play clever balls and she does so without ever being bothered by pressure. She puts effort in on the back end as well as you can see she takes pride in helping win the ball back for her team. She's a disruptive force in the midfield. She is also very well known for being a player that will work harder than everyone else off the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoLXCSL183s">field.</a> </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">When I first saw Ae play six months ago, I was immediately impressed, and I remain so. I thought she was one of the best keepers I had seen, period. She's just so athletic and so fast, and she makes me believe she will never give up a goal. She is equally good in reading the game in front of her and positioning herself perfectly, or just reacting quickly without needing to think. She makes every save you want a keeper to make as she covers her posts well, she's excellent at point-blank range if an attacker gets in on goal and she is a strong-willed, competitive and fiery leader. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">David is one of the top forwards in her class, and has been a force at Legends, and now gets a chance to sine at one of the top high school programs in the country, Santa Margarita. With several key players having graduated and moving on to college, David will be an important player and she will show as to why. She is a very athletic, fast and agile player. She can stop and start, she can move well laterally and she has great top end speed as well. She is a great goal scorer as she can score in a multitude of ways as she just seems to have a knack for finishing.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Heldreth is the No. 3 rated defender in the state and is an excellent central defender. She's a very savvy defender as she has a tremendous understanding of the game in terms of positioning, reading the flow of the game and reading attackers whether they are on the ball or moving off the ball. She is also physically gifted, showing good speed and strength couple with an ability to win balls in the air or on the ground.</p>
