Justus Ross-Simmons Justus Ross-Simmons 6'3" | 215 lbs | WR Inglewood | 2022 State CA , WR, Inglewood
One of the top 2022 prospects in New York prior to transferring to Inglewood for his senior year and didn’t skip a beat. He’s a gifted athlete at 6’3” 220 lbs. with a wide skillset that can transition to multiple positions at the college level. He runs well with good straight line top end speed to be a vertical threat and shows great leaping ability to attack the ball at the high point and come down with 50/50 balls. After the catch, he’s a tough tackle using his large frame and great contact balance to break tackles and pick up big yardage. Committed to Nevada in September before flipping and signing to Colorado State on Early Signing Day.

Nathan Acevedo Nathan Acevedo 5'11" | 170 lbs | WR Lincoln | 2022 State CA , Lincoln
Acevedo made acrobatic catches all year long but was a candidate for play of the year when he went through double coverage and pinned the ball to a defender’s back to complete the catch. He’s a fluid athlete with explosive playmaking ability using his quick twitch and change of direction to be elusive after the catch. He’s a plus route runner that does a great job creating early separation with a smooth release off the LOS and strong burst out of his cuts. Flashes outstanding body control and coordination through the catch to make highlight reel receptions all over the field. Recruiting has been steadily on the rise with offers coming in from Utah State, UNLV, and Idaho before signing with Fresno State on Early Signing Day.

Tyson Bordeaux Tyson Bordeaux 6'5" | 180 lbs | WR Long Beach Poly | 2022 State CA , Long Beach Poly
Bordeaux finished his senior season with 45 receptions for 840 yards and eight touchdowns playing for one of the top programs in the state. He possesses ideal size, length, and frame for a college level wideout at 6’5” 180 lbs. with great growth potential. Equally effective out of the slot as he is on the outside using his advanced route running and a variety of stems/nods to create positional leverage and separate from coverage. Huge catch radius using his length and does a great job extending outside his framework to catch the ball away from his body or attack it at the high point. Under recruited but picked up an offer from Morgan State in November before being offered and committing to Grambling State in late December.
Fair Warning: I DO NOT COME IN PEACE!! WE ARE DECLARING WAR ON EVERYBODY!!👊🏾

Cooper Wallace Cooper Wallace 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Simi Valley | 2022 State CA , Simi Valley
After racking up 1,340 receiving yards on 67 receptions and 14 touchdowns, Wallace was voted co-MVP of the Canyon League and helped lead his team to an undefeated regular season. He’s a smart and savvy athlete that can attack the defense at all three levels. He shows excellent spatial awareness as a route runner that is quick and precise in and out of his cuts. A natural pass catcher that is smooth through the catch and flashes great concentration on contested balls across the middle and vertically. Can be explosive after the catch with good lateral quickness and acceleration to make defenders miss. Finally receiving the recruiting attention he deserves with interest from San Diego and Arizona State.
Career highlights now available! I’m so thankful for the unforgettable memories, teammates, coaches, and supporters. Time to focus on Saturdays…⏳https://t.co/gQQvshX7NN

Conor Lawlor Conor Lawlor 6'1" | 175 lbs | WR Scripps Ranch | 2022 State CA , Scripps Ranch
Lawlor was one of the key players in Scripps Ranch’s run to the state championship with 78 receptions for over 1,500 yards and 23 touchdowns. High football IQ with great receiver instincts that can exploit both man and zone coverage with his creative route running. Flashes the start/stop speed and quickness to accelerate out of his break and create separation. Good long speed and lateral agility to make plays after the catch especially in the screen game where he can read his blocks and turn those short passes into big gains. Ranks third in single season touchdowns in San Diego history and is finally picking up some well deserved offers including Black Hills State, Valparaiso, Southwest Minnesota State, and San Diego.
Senior Season Film: Finished with 79 receptions for 1,558 yards and 24 total TD’s. Honored to have finished with the 3rd most TD catches in SD history! @BrandonHuffman @GregBiggins @CoachGardinera @CoachVMAKASI @SBLiveCA @PrepRedzoneCA @Daygofootball https://t.co/AsWu8KmBkN

Austin Overn Austin Overn 5'11" | 170 lbs | WR Foothill | 2022 State CA , Foothill
Outstanding all-around athleticism for the USC commit that will play both baseball and football at the PAC12 level. As a senior, he scored a touchdown in every game going off for 1,400 receiving yards on 68 receptions with 20 TD’s. Not the biggest guy at 6’0” 170 lbs. but he’s a natural playmaker and competitor that always finds a way to impact the game. Shows good speed and burst off the LOS to beat defenders and be a lethal deep threat that can high point the ball using his 40 inch vertical. Has strong and confident hands at all three levels that can adjust to ball flight and make tough contested catches. One of the best pure athletes in the state with great tools to excel at the college level.
I am honored to announce that I will be playing both baseball and football at USC! Huge shoutout to all of my coaches and teammates! #fighton✌🏼@LincolnRiley @S_HarrisUSC @USCCoachGill @GoFoothill @FoothillBasebal @Scott_Schrader @LesLukach @ocvarsityguy @CoachRuiz_TN @SteveFryer pic.twitter.com/DtSyfmdao7

Colin Chase Colin Chase 6'1" | 185 lbs | WR St. John Bosco | 2022 State CA , St. John Bosco
After transferring from Orange Lutheran and sitting out the first five games, Chase was able to make an impact in the explosive St. John Bosco offense in the second half of the year. He’s a route technician that beats defenders with both his speed and outstanding fundamentals. Shows a strong drive phase out of his stance to break cushion then does a great job creating separation at the top of his routes with a series of stems and nods to manipulate the DB’s hip movement. He’s a high effort receiver that creates opportunity by continuing to work to get open while the QB extends the play. Recruitment is still open with offers from St. Thomas, San Diego, and Kenyon thus far.

Marcus Moore Marcus Moore 6'0" | 170 lbs | WR Lincoln | 2022 State CA , Lincoln
Another piece to the strong Lincoln offense, Moore is a plus athlete with good speed and quickness as a route runner. His fluidity shows in his movement in and out of his cuts and in his ability to change hip levels at the break point. He’s fast out of his stance to close space and has a smooth and sustained second gear that looks effortless as he stretches the field vertically and runs past DB’s. Explosive playmaker after the catch using his lateral quickness and change of direction to be elusive in the open field. He’s under recruited with a skillset that could transition to multiple positions.

Cole Boscia Cole Boscia 6'3" | 210 lbs | WR Monte Vista | 2022 State CA , Monte Vista
Boscia is one of the most slept on 2022 recruits in northern California with great size, frame, and length to build on at 6’4” 210 lbs. At his size, he runs well with good straight line speed and acceleration. He’s a plus route runner that understands how to attack the DB’s leverage and create a throwing lane for the QB. Shows strong hands and a good ability to adjust/track the ball in the air, does a good job using his size and length to box out a defender and compete for the ball at the highest point. Also an excellent blocker on the outside. Holds offers from San Diego and Morehead State but has the athleticism and versatility to transition to the defensive side depending on need and scheme wherever he ends up playing.
After talking with @Coach_Sutt , I am so thankful and excited to say that I’ve received an offer to play for @USDFootball ‼️‼️ @TaylorMazzone1 @CoachChapatte @MVHS_Football @Provinggroundsp @cjandersonb22 @KAnderson311 @BrandonHuffman pic.twitter.com/RgeZfJhCB4
