Centennial 2023 LB Samarai Anderson Samarai Anderson 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Centennial | 2023 State CA was one of the top overall standouts with potential to be a P-5 prospect down the line.
Samarai Anderson Samarai Anderson 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Centennial | 2023 State CA – Centennial, 2023
Anderson was one of the top overall performers from the showcase displaying a high-level LB skillset and physicality. He’s a stout, physical LB that showed power and leverage in 1-on-1 pass rushing with RBs and ability to cover RBs out of the backfield in man routes. He was an effective 3-4 OLB in his junior season that produced turnovers in coverage and proved to be a great tackler in space. Anderson is a rising prospect that could be due for his first D-I offer in the near future with interest from several Mountain West and Pac-12 schools. He’ll be a player to watch on one of the top teams in the state next season.

Jake Fitzgerald Jake Fitzgerald 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Cathedral | 2022 CA – Cathedral, 2022
Fitzgerald stood out in the 1-on-1 tackling drills with the RBs and was one of the most productive defenders in the Mission League this season earning First Team All-Defense and leading the league in tackles with 123 total. He’s an active ILB with a strong frame and nose for the football. He sifts through blockers in the run game using his hands to fight off blocks and tracks ball-carriers in the backfield extremely well. He’s an excellent form tackler sideline-to-sideline and physical at the POA. Fitzgerald is an underrated prospect with offers from Culver-Stockton, Pacific University, Arizona Christian, and Whittier.

Jake Frey Jake Frey 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB Tesoro | 2023 CA – Tesoro, 2023
Frey is a high-upside LB prospect with an athletic frame (6’3”/215) and skillset that stood out during 1-on-1 routes with RBs. He showed great closing speed and physicality in his junior season film posting over 100 tackles from his ILB spot. He plays downhill between the tackles and reacts quickly to the ball in coverage. Frey should start generating interest from schools with increased exposure on the showcase circuit and strong senior film.

Dominic Lopez Dominic Lopez 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB Edison | 2023 CA – Edison, 2023
Lopez was one of the more impressive LBs during the testing portion showing great athleticism and raw physical ability. He showed plus ball-skills and fluid hips in 1-on-1 routes with RBs. He has great short-area quickness and burst with quick feet and solid lateral movement. On tape, he plays with good pad level and moves well in space showing ability to break down and tackle aggressively. Lopez will be a name to watch in the Sunset League next season with more opportunity to showcase his talent and skillset.

Wyatt Mosier Wyatt Mosier 6'2" | 220 lbs | LB Yorba Linda | 2023 State CA – Yorba Linda, 2023
Mosier passes the eye test with his size and frame at 6’2″/215. He showed good movement in testing and 1-on-1 routes with RBs. On film, he’s a heavy downhill player that fills aggressively and plays with high motor. He showed ability to cover middle zone and quick reactions to underneath routes. Mosier will be a senior leader on the front seven next year and should see some interest from college programs soon.

Kylon Washington Kylon Washington 6'5" | 190 lbs | DL Mandarin | 2022 CA – Mandarin (FL), 2022
Washington was the top performer in testing among LBs with a 4.69 in the 40, the fastest in the group. He’s a long, rangy athlete with great versatility and upside. He mostly played DE his senior season but given his length, size, and movement he could move into a 3-4 OLB or hybrid LB role at the next level. Washington is waiting for his first offer but definitely has the physical tools and ability to play at the next level.
