Foreman is the number one recruit in the nation according to Rivals and the number three recruit in the nation on ESPN. The 6-foot-4, 265 pound end is strong enough to stop the run on the strong side and fast enough to generate a pass rush from either side. Foreman has 27 offers with LSU, Clemson and USC listed among the favorites to land the superstar.

Jake Garcia Jake Garcia 6'2" | 190 lbs | QB La Habra | 2021 State CA , Quarterback, La Habra High School, La Habra
Garcia was the most talked-about name during transfer season in Southern California. He was a standout quarterback at Narbonne High the past two seasons, which was forced to forfeit all of its games, causing a mass exodus of top players, including Garcia. The 6-foot-2, 195 pound quarterback, who threw for 25 touchdowns in 9 games last season, landed at La Habra High and is committed to USC.
Raesjon Davis Raesjon Davis 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Mater Dei | 2021 State CA , Outside Linebacker, Mater Dei High School, Santa Ana
Davis was one of the standout players on a stellar Mater Dei defense last season. He led the team in sacks (7.5) and had 16.5 tackles for a loss. Davis had many offers and was reportedly considering LSU and USC before verbally committing to LSU on January 1.
Beaux Collins Beaux Collins 6'3" | 195 lbs | WR St. John Bosco | 2021 State CA , Wide Receiver, St. John Bosco High School, Bellflower
The 6-foot-2 receiver fit in nicely in a receiving corps with Kris Hutson (Oregon) and Logan Loya (UCLA) last season for the State Champion Braves. Collins had 1008 yards receiving and was second on the team with 14 touchdown catches. He had a 71-yard touchdown catch in the State Championship game against De La Salle. Collins has committed to Clemson where he will join his former St. John Bosco quarterback DJ Uiagalelei.

Miller Moss Miller Moss 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Bishop Alemany | 2021 State CA , Quarterback, Mater Dei High School, Santa Ana
For months, media members in Southern California were wondering who was going to replace Alabama signee Bryce Young at Mater Dei. On June 19, former Alemany quarterback Miller Moss Miller Moss 6'3" | 200 lbs | QB Bishop Alemany | 2021 State CA was officially enrolled at Mater Dei after throwing for 3,118 yards and 28 touchdowns for the Warriors as a junior. Moss was recruited by SEC schools Alabama and Arkansas before verbally committing to USC after being recruited by offensive coordinator Graham Harrell.
Ethan Calvert Ethan Calvert 6'3" | 230 lbs | LB Oaks Christian | 2021 State CA , Inside Linebacker, Oaks Christian High School, Westlake Village
Calvert was highly-regarded before his junior season and offers came pouring in after the 6-foot-3, 230 pound linebacker helped lead the Oaks Christian defense. He averaged seven tackles per game and had a season-high 15 tackles against Helix. Calvert has a brother who plays at UCLA and another who plays at Washington, but it appears USC is the favorite to land him.
Ceyair Wright Ceyair Wright 6'1" | 175 lbs | DB Loyola | 2021 State CA , Defensive Back, Loyola High School, Los Angeles
Wright is not only a rising star on the football field, he is a rising star on the big screen. He is playing the son of LeBron James in the upcoming Space Jam 2.

He is uncommitted and holds 34 offers with Arizona State and Oregon reportedly leading the pack of suitors.
Ma’a Gaoteote Ma’a Gaoteote 6'2" | 230 lbs | LB St. John Bosco | 2021 State CA , Outside Linebacker, St. John Bosco High School, Bellflower
Gaoteote transferred to St. John Bosco from IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL, and fit in nicely with the Braves defense. He took full advantage of the dominant defensive line led by Kobe Pepe, which drew a lot of double teams which led to Gaoteote racking up tackles. His brother Palaie, who currently plays at USC, has said that his brother Ma’a will be a better player than he is. Gaoteote has been verbally committed to USC since last February.
Jaylin Davies Jaylin Davies 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Mater Dei | 2021 State CA , Defensive Back, Mater Dei High School, Santa Ana

He was always tasked with covering very talented receivers every week in Trinity League play and during the Monarchs’ nonleague schedule when they played elite teams from around the nation. Davies had a key interception to secure a win against St. John Bosco to win the Trinity League championship. He committed to Oregon on June 19, joining a list of multiple top California recruits including teammate Kyron Ware-Hudson Kyron Ware-Hudson 6'1" | 205 lbs | WR Mater Dei | 2021 State CA .
