There is no shortage of FBS caliber players across the region and guys who are close to hauling in their first offers. Below, we will break down and list some of the top players across the Bay Area California within the 2024 class that are coming off big Spring seasons.
OLB/SS Joseph Bey Joseph Bey 6'0" | 195 lbs | ATH Serra - San Mateo | 2024 State CA , Serra HS
Bey is an extremely talented athlete that moves all over the field at both the second and third level. Only a Freshman, he currently holds offers from ASU and Pitt, and could very well turn into a National Recruit over the next three years. Starting for one of the top teams in the golden state as a Freshman, Bey is a physical and instinctual player that covers a ton of ground and has outstanding ball skills. Very smooth in space, while playing the ball well and taking good angles to ball carriers in the open field, he brings a nice thump upon contact and does not take false steps in transition. Bey also shows natural instincts while playing with disciplines eyes and baiting quarterbacks into bad throws.
QB Carson Su’esu’e Carson Su’esu’e 6'5" | 200 lbs | QB De La Salle | 2024 CA , De la Salle HS
The De La Salle prospect will also be another National Recruit by the time it’s all said and done. Having an ideal frame at 6’5+, he will only continue to pack on more weight in the coming years. Possessing a monster arm and a quick release, he throws a very nice deep ball with good zip while also able to check down when needed and throws accurately underneath with good timing. He shows the ability to throw on a line from hash to hash which is impressive for his age. A terrific athlete, he is a running threat both while scanning the field and flushed out along with on designed runs. A long strider that covers ground in a hurry, he currently holds offers from ASU, Pitt, FAU and Tennessee, among others.
RB/DB Jabari Mann Jabari Mann 5'11" | 210 lbs | LB Serra - San Mateo | 2024 State CA , Serra HS
Mann is another key part of an absolutely loaded 2024 class at Serra High School. Already holding an offer from Pitt, he is a tough and physical runner that gets downhill in a hurry and already looks like a second or third year player with his overall size and strength. He runs well behind his pads and looks for contact while showing nice balance and body control through the hole. He can play multiple positions and will be a force in the WCAL for the next three seasons and one of the top recruits in the 2024 class.
DB Kyon Loud, Bishop O’Dowd HS
Within the next year, Loud should be known across the Bay Area and could very well hold multiple FBS offers. He started as a Freshman for one of the regions top teams and impressed in all three phases of the game. He is a long and rangy corner with outstanding ball skills and high point ability that can play both off and press. He is smooth in transition while understanding where he is on the field and uses his length and jumping ability to recover well when beat. Also effective in the return game, he is a long strider that can make defenders miss in space and shows nice short area quickness and lateral agility.
TE/DE Drew Cunningham Drew Cunningham 6'4" | 220 lbs | LB De La Salle | 2024 State CA , Miramonte HS
Cunningham will be the next long and explosive player to come out of Miramonte and should end up signing with a FBS school. Having an ideal frame and length for the position, he will continue to add more weight/muscle and should turn into a top tight end in the Bay Area. He can play both in-line and in the slot and has strong hands and a big catch radius, while turning upfield quickly and having deceptive open field breakaway speed. He attacks the ball well with nice high point ability on 50/50 balls and can make contested catches from various body angles. As he continues to develop as a blocker, he will be a top tier option at that position within the region.
