Logan Gonzalez Logan Gonzalez 6'3" | 190 lbs | QB Orange Lutheran | 2022 State CA , Orange Lutheran, 2022
Gonzalez has been one of the best passers in Orange County but sometimes gets overshadowed by the higher profile programs in the Trinity League. There are times when you watch Gonzalez where he looks as good as any quarterback in the state. In the Division 2 semifinal game against Sierra Canyon, Gonzalez completed 27 of 40 passes for 355 yards and five touchdowns.

Dominic Nankil Dominic Nankil 6'1" | 170 lbs | QB Mater Dei Catholic | 2023 State CA , Mater Dei Catholic, 2023
Mater Dei Catholic has been rolling through the San Diego Section Division 3 playoffs and Nankil is a big part of that success. The junior completed 21 of 30 passes for 297 yards and five touchdowns in a 40-8 win over Santa Fe Christian. He got an offer from New Mexico State before even starting a game and pretty soon they won’t be the only school to offer him.
