William Fowler, Washington Union HS
Fowler had a terrific showing at the showcase and was very smooth in transition. He showed fluid hips and a natural pack pedal while able to break to ball carriers quickly without taking false steps and closing fast. At the POA, he has strong ball skills and high point ability and is a no brainer Power Five corner that can cover underneath and deep.
Sailasa Vadrawale Sailasa Vadrawale 6'0" | 175 lbs | DB Rancho Cotate | 2023 State CA , Rancho Cotate HS
Vadrawale was a top defensive back in attendance and already holds multiple FBS offers and is closing in on his first Power Five offer as he is one of the top players in all of Northern California. He is one of the smoothest and most explosive athletes in the Bay and should settle in at the corner position nicely in college. He showed good COD and short area explosion and did not shy away from going up against top tier talent.
Chris Lawson Chris Lawson 6'2" | 175 lbs | WR Riordan | 2025 State CA , Foothill HS
Lawson is one of the top Northern California defensive players and has ideal length and range to be a big time third level defender at the P5 level. He has a good feel for the game especially for his age and showed good recovery speed and natural ball skills in the one on one’s. He will be one of the top names to watch across the region during the 2022 season.
Jordan Charlot Jordan Charlot 6'0" | 170 lbs | DB St. Mary's | 2023 CA , Saint Mary’s HS
Jordan has flown under the radar over the last couple years but should start to see his recruiting pickup sooner rather than later. Through out his Junior season he showed he is good in run support and not afraid to come up and make plays in the box along with cover a ton of ground from the safety position. He is poised for a big Senior year for the Rams and will be one of the top defensive backs the SJS has to offer.
Donovan Lee, Benicia HS
Lee is a fluid athlete that can play off and jam at the LOS while a natural peddler in space and quick hips in transition when moving vertical. He has a quick trigger in transition and strong ball skills in traffic while showing nice burst while running the ball and long speed in the open field. Lee should have a big Senior season and once again be a top player in the area in 2022.
Brilan Reynolds, Saint Mary’s HS
Reynolds is a very physical young corner that can come up and hit in run support while showing good closing speed and explosion through contact. For only a second year player, he has terrific instincts in zone coverage and a quick trigger when covering underneath routes. He was one of the top underclassman defensive backs in attendance.
