Played center last season for Santa Margarita and will transition to guard this year. He is a team captain and it was very apparent that he is well-respected by his teammates at the Trinity League media day last week. He keeps his feet moving throughout the entire block when run blocking and gets down the field well which makes him a perfect candidate to switch to guard, especially against even defensive fronts. He has an offer from Columbia.

4. Josiah Laban, Servite, 2022
Laban is an interior lineman with elite strength for a 280-pound guy. His motor is off the charts and he is extremely aggressive. He keeps his feet moving and hips square in pass protection and defends spin moves better than most linemen. Servite’s offensive line is very underrated but they do a great job facilitating the run game and protecting Noah Fifita Noah Fifita 5'10" | 175 lbs | QB Servite | 2022 State CA in the passing game. His size keeps him from getting big offers but his recruitment should pick up soon.
Congratulations to Josiah Laban ‘22 (@LabanJosiah) on being recognized 1st Team All-Trinity League Offense! #credo #gofriars pic.twitter.com/rOyRiIF4al

3. David Main David Main 6'3" | 245 lbs | OL Los Alamitos | 2022 State CA , Los Alamitos, 2022
He is a 6-foot-4 guy at only 260 pounds but he has the strength of someone 50 pounds heavier. His footwork is great, he resets his hands very quickly and has a high football IQ. He is a real good athlete who runs a 40 yard dash under 5 seconds. Army and Navy have both offered him. His ability to get off the ball will translate to the next level and he has room to add some weight without compromising his athleticism.

2. DeAndre Carter DeAndre Carter 6'5" | 350 lbs | OL Mater Dei | 2024 State CA , Mater Dei, 2024
Carter is the next top offensive line prospect from Mater Dei and has the highest ceiling of anyone on this list. He started at left tackle against St. John Bosco in the Trinity League championship game last spring and held his own against very good pass rushers. He could be number one on this list. He is the total package: footwork, strength, motor, athleticism. He already has offers from Cal, Oregon State and USC. Coach Bruce Rollinson raves about Carter.
Late to tweet but First I would like to thank God. I am Blessed and Honored to receive an offer from USC. I would like to thank the USC coaches, my Mater Dei coaches, and Coach Burns. pic.twitter.com/zpGCzO8TYy

1. BJ Tolo BJ Tolo 6'1" | 310 lbs | OL Mater Dei | 2023 State CA , Mater Dei, 2023
Tolo is a three-year starter for Mater Dei and he has lived up to the hype he had when he was an All-League freshman in 2019. He played guard the past two years and blocks down very well and gets to the second level with ease. He is moving to center this season and will excel against odd and even fronts (Bosco mixes up their fronts). It’s hard to believe he is the most experienced guy on the offensive line for the Monarchs and will be a good veteran leader for the young guys like Carter and Baker. Colorado State, Kansas and Oregon have offered Tolo thus far.
Really impressed by Freshman RG BJ Tolo. Shows great patience here on the inside spin with fantastic hand replacement. pic.twitter.com/DfnHVblP6e
