He possesses a solid receiver skillset with strong hands and is QB-friendly in scramble drills.

Phillip Bell Phillip Bell 6'2" | 195 lbs | WR Mission Viejo | 2025 State CA – WR, Christian Brothers
Bell is an elite playmaker that picked up multiple Pac-12 offers in March. He’s a dangerous vertical threat that can beat DBs downfield with speed and shows soft hands and concentration finishing the catch. He’s a natural athlete in space that produces explosive catch-and-run plays. Bell’s elite combination of speed and athleticism has him solidified as a major D-I prospect with offers from Oregon, Cal, Oregon St., FAU, and Utah St.

Jaylen Moore Jaylen Moore 6'0" | 165 lbs | WR Monrovia | 2025 State CA – WR, Monrovia
Moore picked up three Mountain West offers after putting his raw talent and ability on display in the fall. He’s a lankier athlete at 6’1”/150 with long reach and elite body control. He makes plays downfield with ability to out-compete DBs at the highest point and great concentration finishing catches. Moore holds offers from Michigan St., Nevada, Colorado St., and San Jose St. with more P5 interest likely headed his way.

Chris Lawson Chris Lawson 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR Riordan | 2025 State CA – WR, Foothill
Lawson flashed elite ball skills and athleticism on both sides of the ball at WR/DB as a freshman. He’s a high-level route-runner that creates separation with ease and shows great body control making difficult catches. He’s a natural athlete that’s elusive in space and can make plays on shallow routes or over the top. Lawson will continue to add to his list of offers from Arizona, Utah, and Oregon St over the next several seasons.
That’s a thing of beauty.

Logan Carpenter Logan Carpenter 6'1" | 190 lbs | WR Chaminade | 2025 State CA – WR, Chaminade
Carpenter showed promise operating out of the slot his freshman season. He creates space in his deep routes with good top-end speed and crafty route-running. He’s a high effort player that showed commitment to sealing running lanes and picking up blocks downfield. Carpenter will benefit from increased opportunities and targets heading into his sophomore season.
