Southern California Weekly Recruiting Report (Part 1)

Norco class of 2023 receiver [player_tooltip player_id="145245" first="Grant" last="Gray"] announced his commitment to UCLA last Sunday. Gray is 6-foot-3, 185 pounds and one of the smoothest route runners in his class. He performed very well at the Rivals and Under Armour camps and picked up a lot of steam afterwards. A major factor in Gray’s decision to commit to UCLA is the fact that they are allowing him to play football and baseball at the school. Gray is a two-sport star who really connected with both the football and baseball coaching staffs at UCLA. Gray chose UCLA over Arizona, Boise State, Colorado and San Diego State among others. Gray is the first player in the 2023 recruiting class to commit to UCLA. https://twitter.com/Grant_Gray01/status/1515885187824963587?s=20&amp;t=x-nVGQ8ZD3Hzvaf_Y1HnKA <hr /> Alemany class of 2023 offensive lineman [player_tooltip player_id="145204" first="Siaosi" last="Tapaatoutai"] announced his commitment to Arizona on Monday. "Rhino" is 6-foot-5, 285 pounds and has been making strikes at the Giant Skillz and Under Armour camps. He told Greg Biggins of 247Sports that when he visited Arizona he had no intention of committing, but felt at home. “I cant even describe the feeling of how I felt. The coaches and players were amazing and I love what they’re building there. Ever since they offered me, the coaches had talked about building that Poly (Polynesian) pipeline back and I’m excited to be a part of that,” Tapaatoutai told Biggins. I saw him closely at the Under Armour camp and he impressed me with his tenacity and aggressiveness. When they needed someone to fill in for reps he always jumped at the opportunity. He also had offers from Colorado, Hawaii, San Diego State and others. https://twitter.com/Rhin0_An0malyyy/status/1516248921625956354?s=20&amp;t=x-nVGQ8ZD3Hzvaf_Y1HnKA <hr /> Cathedral Catholic (San Diego) class of 2022 receiver [player_tooltip player_id="25296" first="Rex" last="Haynes"] announced his commitment to Colorado State on Tuesday. Haynes was the best senior receiver in San Diego last season on the best team in San Diego. One of those receivers where if you play him in man press coverage, he is going to get a step and beat you and if you give him a big cushion, he will catch a slant and make a big play after the catch. He is 6-foot-5 and a reliable third down target. He also had offers from Arizona State, Fresno State and San Diego State. Haynes is the tenth player from California in Colorado State’s 2022 recruiting class and the fourth receiver joining [player_tooltip player_id="253178" first="Justus" last="Ross-Simmons"] and [player_tooltip player_id="141947" first="Louis" last="Brown"] of Inglewood and [player_tooltip player_id="253215" first="Jordan" last="Williams"] of St. Paul. https://twitter.com/rexhaynes_/status/1516128762491932673?s=20&amp;t=McJrhOopLPciVIV2Okn0Dg <hr /> Another top class of 2022 player from San Diego made a late commitment this past week. Cathedral Catholic linebacker [player_tooltip player_id="25319" first="Harmon" last="Savaiinaea"] decided to stay local and commit to San Diego State. Savaiinaea is the third player from Cathedral Catholic in San Diego State’s 2022 recruiting class joining <strong>Romeo Mageo</strong> and [player_tooltip player_id="141906" first="Lucky" last="Sutton"]. He is the second linebacker from San Diego in the class joining [player_tooltip player_id="141920" first="Treyton" last="White"] of Eastlake. He also had offers from Colorado, Colorado State and Hawaii. He defends the run very well and also is a very effective pass rusher. https://twitter.com/Hsavaiinaea45/status/1515755315953692672?s=20&amp;t=x-nVGQ8ZD3Hzvaf_Y1HnKA
