Jalen Moss Jalen Moss 6'0" | 165 lbs | WR Menlo-Athlerton | 2022 State CA , WR, Menlo-Atherton
Moss is one of the top two-way athletes in Northern California but projects as a WR at the college level. At Menlo he’s a game breaker that is explosive in all three phases as a WR, DB, and Returner. He’s a gifted athlete that is quick twitch with plus top end speed, burst, and change-of-direction. As a receiver, he’s fast off the line with a great drive phase to eat up cushion and has the ability to separate using that speed and acceleration to run away from defenders. Great body control and coordination to track and adjust to the ball. He competes and attacks every ball in the air and possesses a large catch radius. Has had a big senior season and is currently undecided with 10 D1 offers to his name including ASU, Oregon, Nebraska, UNLV, and Oregon State.
First 2 weeks of the season!! Check out my highlight – https://t.co/1YUGg3E0bL

Travis Throckmorton Travis Throckmorton 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB Simi Valley | 2022 State CA , QB, Simi Valley
A lot to like about the Oregon State commit’s skillset. He’s a plus athlete with length and a solid frame at 6’2” 200 lbs. Good natural arm talent and strength, he shows a great ability to throw from different arm angles and off balanced platforms without sacrificing velocity or accuracy. Good overall throwing mechanics, has a smooth over the top delivery that is quick and compact. He’s a heady QB that sees the field well and can manipulate the defense with his eyes as he’s going through his progression. Love his ability to create and improvise. Pulled in offers from FAU, Nevada, and Southern Miss before committing to Oregon State in April.
My dream to play D1 football has come true! Thank you to Coach Benkert and Simi Valley H.S.! Love to my family and all who supported me along my journey! I have committed to Oregon State!! @coachjb21 @dyray22 @Coach_Smith @Coach_Lindgren @svhspioneers @Throw_2_Win #BuildTheDam pic.twitter.com/wCwBemafgT

Louie Canepa Louie Canepa 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL Vintage | 2022 State CA , OL, Vintage
The big 6’4” 295 lb. OT is the top offensive lineman prospect in the North Bay. He’s a mauler and a violent finisher that is strong and powerful at the POA. He explodes his hips and fires his feet through contact with a well-balanced platform allowing him to physically overpower opponents ending with them usually on their back. Strong and effective hands, he gets good extension on his punch and strikes through the opponent and uses them well to sustain his block. Plays with good pad level and leverage at the contact point. Currently uncommitted but holds offers from Air Force, Army, Colorado State, Fordham, and SDSU.
Jus lineman things 💯 https://t.co/7PCC0bVjqI

Tahj Owens Tahj Owens 5'11" | 185 lbs | RB Loyola | 2022 State CA , RB, Loyola
Owens is a versatile athlete that fills the stat sheet for Loyola. So far this season he has almost 1,500 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns. He’s an exciting player to watch that is electric with the ball in his hands using his fluid athleticism and quick change-of-direction to be elusive in the open filed. Great burst and acceleration out of his stance and through the hole with the top end speed and sustained second gear to finish off long runs in the endzone. Love his ability to make quick lateral cuts and burst out to separate from defenders in space. Holds seven offers to his name including Colorado State, Kansas, Nevada, SDSU, San Jose State, and several Ivy Leagues.

Nathan Elu Nathan Elu 6'3" | 275 lbs | OL Serra - San Mateo | 2022 State CA , OL, Serra
Another one of the top offensive lineman in northern California. Possesses ideal size, length, and frame at 6’5” 295 lbs. and still has good growth potential. He’s a functional athlete at his size that bends well, can move his feet, and is quick out of his stance. Strong and powerful at the POA, he drives his feet through contact and is a finisher through the whistle. Plays with good leverage and balance, rarely see him too high or outside his framework at the contact point. Love his controlled but physical and aggressive style of play. Picked up seven D1 offers before recently committing to Oregon State, he has a good foundational skillset and high upside for the PAC12 level.

Hunter Roddy Hunter Roddy 6'0" | 215 lbs | RB Chaparral | 2022 State CA , RB, Chaparral
Roddy is a downhill power back at 6’0” 220 lbs. He’s a workhorse in the Chaparral offense that has ran for almost 1,200 yards and 11 touchdowns so far this season. He’s a bruiser but is a plus athlete with deceptive speed, lateral agility, and quickness in the open field. Does a great job making the first guy miss with a quick lateral cut and then getting north/south. He’s extremely tough to tackle one on one using his great balance and leverage to absorb contact and break tackles. Love his natural instincts, anticipation, and vision as a ball carrier. He’s patient and allows his blocks to develop and create open running lanes. Has had a great career and committed to Army back in June.
Senior season first 3 SWL games.
Total: 8 games 1037 yds. 11TDs
6.4 YPC 129 YPG https://t.co/qFmlXPeGcb— Hunter Roddy (@HunterRoddy1) October 17, 2021
