DEFENSIVE LINE
Levar Talley Levar Talley 6'3" | 215 lbs | LB Santa Margarita Catholic | 2024 State CA , Santa Margarita
Santa Margarita’s defensive linemen have been gaining a lot of steam this offseason after good showings at multiple events. Talley is more of an outside backer but is an outstanding edge rusher. He does a good job attacking the outside shoulder and is too fast for most tackles to match footwork with. Florida State, Georgia and USC have offered him already.

Aydin Breland Aydin Breland 6'5" | 290 lbs | DL Mater Dei | 2024 State CA , Mater Dei
Breland doesn’t waste any movements. He gains a lot of ground with his initial steps and uses his fast feet to catch the offensive lineman leaning one direction so he can quickly pivot the other way. He has quick hands and is physically imposing at 6-foot-5 and close to 290 pounds. Breland has five offers including Arizona State, USC and Oregon.

Esteban Choucair, El Modena
Choucair has put on some muscle in the short offseason so far and looks very strong. He has a low center of gravity and keeps his feet moving through contact. He performed well in the playoffs for El Modena and has the tools to be one of the better public school defensive tackles in Southern California.
Carson Mott Carson Mott 6'5" | 240 lbs | DL Simi Valley | 2023 State CA , Simi Valley
Mott impressed the scouts with his numbers during the combine portion of the event, particularly with his vertical leap. He is 6-foot-5 and an impressive edge rusher. He has five offers including Nevada, Princeton, Cal, San Jose State and Utah State.

DEFENSIVE BACK
Jett White Jett White 6'1" | 155 lbs | DB Los Alamitos | 2025 CA , Orange
White was one of the underclassmen who was awarded a golden ticket to the Rivals Underclassmen Challenge. He can cover anyone and times his jumps perfectly on jump balls. He has the speed to keep up with upperclassmen in man coverage and can turn his hips out of his back pedal quickly. He is verbally committed to USC but adds new offers every week.
