One of the top class of 2022 quarterbacks in Southern California verbally committed to San Jose State last Friday. [player_tooltip player_id="25328" first="Tyler" last="Voss"] of Valencia (Valencia) chose the Spartans over Florida Atlantic and Colorado State. He completed 65 percent of his passes this spring for 1192 yards and eight touchdowns in just five games. Voss has a quick release and as good of an arm as most the top guys in the class. When you watch his film, you can see how much he prepares and the team relies on his decision making. https://twitter.com/ncaarecruits/status/1364094055525752837?s=20 <hr /> Inglewood running back [player_tooltip player_id="25263" first="Tomarion" last="Harden"] committed to UCLA on Monday. Harden transferred to Inglewood after playing his first two seasons at Narbonne of Harbor City. He is a power running back at 230 pounds. He is best at running between the tackles and has sneaky speed when he gets into open space. He makes plays in the passing game out of the backfield but in UCLA’s offense he will likely be an inside power back. UCLA coach <strong>Chip Kelly</strong> offered Harden and Inglewood quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="25247" first="Justyn" last="Martin"] on the same day after the duo did a workout together on Monday. https://twitter.com/LemmingReport/status/1394064591370477568?s=20 <hr /> Glendora star [player_tooltip player_id="25313" first="Braydon" last="Brus"] verbally committed to Northwestern on Tuesday. Brus does it all for Glendora. He rushed for nearly 500 yards with eight touchdowns in just five games this spring and also had 17 yards per catch. Defensively, Brus led the team with 58 tackles with two sacks and an interception. He told Greg Biggins of 247Sports that he chose Northwestern because he believes it is the best combination of football and academics in the country. Brus has a college-ready body after gaining a lot of muscle during the long COVID offseason and is expected to be a linebacker at the college level. https://twitter.com/BraydonBrus/status/1355625243868422144?s=20 https://twitter.com/Hudl/status/1196866732180197376?s=20 <hr /> Foothill (Santa Ana) linebacker <strong>Gavin Griswold</strong> got his first two offers this week from Army and Penn. Penn is no stranger to Foothill players and [player_tooltip player_id="25195" first="Nick" last="Fryhoff"] is a member of Penn’s 2021 class. Griswold led Foothill with 42 tackles and a sack this spring. He has outstanding at defending the run. He is aggressive, takes excellent pursuit angles and is good at avoiding guards who are pulling. He is a really good athlete who is also on the lacrosse team. He will likely be Foothill’s leading tackler again this fall and pick up a handful more offers. https://twitter.com/GoFoothill/status/1403465738757627904?s=20 <hr /> Mater Dei defensive back [player_tooltip player_id="25274" first="Cam" last="Sidney"] picked up his 13th offer this week from Cal. Sidney is a very versatile defensive back who can cover guys from any part of the field: the slot, the boundary or even as a safety. He has good instincts and elite closing speed to the ball. Opposing receivers often brace themselves for a big hit when playing against Sidney and rightfully so. He is part of an elite defensive backfield at Mater Dei with [player_tooltip player_id="25223" first="Domani" last="Jackson"], [player_tooltip player_id="147715" first="Zabien" last="Brown"] and others. Sidney is the No. 12 defensive back in the state according to Prep Redzone. https://twitter.com/prepzone/status/1378532303786364928?s=20
