Weekly Recruiting Report (Part Two)

Los Alamitos class of 2022 athlete <strong>Alec Wills</strong> announced his commitment to Penn on Sunday. Wills is a solid two-way player who I first noticed at the Mission Viejo passing tournament last summer. His quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="25419" first="Malachi" last="Nelson"] had high praise for Wills after the event and Tweeted that he was deserving of offers. He caught 27 passes for 554 yards and four touchdowns last season. He had eight pass deflections with a forced fumble and fumble recovery on defense. Wills had an offer from Benedictine College. He is the third player from California in Penn’s 2022 recruiting class, joining [player_tooltip player_id="186998" first="Patrick" last="Hawkins"] of Foothill and Chase Meyer of Mater Dei. https://twitter.com/AlecWills_/status/1498500021364224002?s=20&t=ir4XhoK9UYTfRuOnC-nJAw <hr /> Oaks Christian rising offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id="145240" first="Luke" last="Baklenko"] was offered by Boston College on Tuesday. The 6-foot-6, 290 pound tackle is now up to seven offers with BYU offering him last week. Boston College joins Arizona, BYU, Colorado, San Diego State, UCLA and Washington State in offering Baklenko and other schools are showing interest. He told Brandon Huffman of 247Sports that Oregon State, Oregon, Kansas State, Brown, Wyoming, Cal and Rice, Boise State and Baylor have also been talking to him. Baklenko gets up the field well on running plays and screens and uses his strength to bully people, within the rules. His footwork is solid in pass protection. https://twitter.com/LukeBaklenko/status/1498751899142529026?s=20&t=ir4XhoK9UYTfRuOnC-nJAw <hr /> Mater Dei class of 2024 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id="147730" first="Brandon" last="Baker"] picked up an offer from Tennessee on Tuesday. Baker’s stock is rising after a very strong showing at the Giant Skillz National Showcase two weeks ago. Tennessee is the third school to offer Baker joining Michigan and Fresno State. He is a big body at 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds which he carries well. He played left guard at Mater Dei last season but I can easily see him sliding over to right tackle. https://twitter.com/BrandonBaker73/status/1498737598948278273?s=20&t=nis6r6SgPsTl-8SqtjH2kA <hr /> El Toro defensive back <strong>Trey Williams </strong>committed to Benedictine College along with a handful of other players this week. Williams was Third Team All-County this season in the Orange County Register and played in the OC All Star Game in February. He had 75 tackles, a sack and five interceptions for the Chargers last season who were Co-Sea View League champions. https://twitter.com/RavenFootballBC/status/1499063878109605902?s=20&t=nis6r6SgPsTl-8SqtjH2kA
