When it comes to building a football program, Miami Palmer Trinity head coach Mark Reese and his staff have more than done a tremendous job throughout the years.

After a 7-3 season in 2025 which included a state playoff appearance, the Falcons headed into the off-season with a feeling that while this team will be young, they will certainly be very talented.

With the return of rising senior leaders such as Rafael Salvatierra (WR/CB), Manny Coya (QB), Tino Cooper (RB/Slot) and Jayden Alley (OL/DL), there is plenty of experience, talent and leadership.

THE UNDERCLASS WILL BE KEY

As the rising senior class will be very important, keep an eye on the younger prospects as well – with Class of 2028 rising juniors Andres Soccorro (WR), Jaedon Gordon (FS/OLB), Hagen Roberts (RB/LB) and Marco Lema (WR/CB) leading the way.

Also, keep an eye on Niccolo Blanzuol (TE/OLB), Nicolas Sanz de Santamaria (WR/CB), Merritt Sims (WR/CB), Hunter Nielson (QB) and versatile lineman (OL/DL) Thomas Valacco.

When you have a rising sophomore (2029) with the talent that Nicolas Baumberger (WR/CB) has, you know that your team is in great hands.

In addition, there are other 2029 prospects to watch as well – with Alexander “Alex”  Lopez (WR/S), Carter Estep (DE) and Juan Balzarette-Acquaroni (OL)

The rising freshmen (2030) class will also feature prospects like Zac Lopez (TE/DE) and Matthew Reese (DT/OT).
