16 Southern California programs will compete in a passing league tournament and lineman competition. Soon after, the teams will go into a dead period before beginning training camp in the coming weeks.
Here is a preview of half of the field at the Huntington Beach Passing Tournament:
POOL C
Saugus
Saugus lost some talent from last season but has some intriguing returning skill players. Jadon Lemmons is a corner who has been getting some buzz on the camp and showcase circuit. Khai Ky-Yeith is a returning receiver who had six touchdowns last year and was recently offered by Benedictine College. AJ Goodman is another receiver who returns after a solid junior season.
JW North
JW North had a great season in 2021 and returns some great linemen, and some quality skill guys. Cameron Shannon figures to be the starting quarterback after getting minimal playing time as a sophomore last year. Damien Allala is the returning receiver with the most production last season. Andre Lindsey returns in the secondary after having six interceptions last season. Dylan Boucher is an intriguing sophomore for JW North.
Mingus Union, Arizona
Mingus is the only out of state team competing on Saturday. They are led by defensive back Brasen Durkalec Brasen Durkalec 5'10" | 165 lbs | DB Mingus | 2023 AZ who is also a track star at Mingus. Ian Contreras returns after leading the team in receiving last season.
El Camino Real
El Camino Real lost a lot of talent from last season but won a linemen competition earlier this offseason. Colin Ermita is a running back who can make plays in the passing game. Robin Bueno returns after averaging nearly 14 yards per catch last season. Rafe Cortez is an intriguing sophomore for ECR.
POOL D
Chino Hills
Chino Hills had a tough draw at the Mission Viejo passing tournament, landing in a pool with Saint Bonaventure, Millikan, Sierra Canyon and Los Alamitos. Tyrese Boss Tyrese Boss 6'0" | 175 lbs | WR Chino Hills | 2024 State CA is a receiver I really like and they have other returners Jacob Brooks and William Davis. Hunter Corbin Hunter Corbin 6'0" | 200 lbs | LB Chino Hills | 2023 CA is a quality defensive back for Chino Hills.
West Ranch
The headliner for West Ranch is quarterback Ryan Staub Ryan Staub 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB West Ranch | 2023 State CA who is committed to Colorado. Maverick Diaz and Chaz Hilst are two returning First Team All-League receivers for West Ranch. Brady Van Bennekum is a returning linebacker and receiver who could have a big senior season. William Seidel had a pair of interceptions in the secondary for West Ranch last season.
Charter Oak
Charter Oak has a lot of talent this year and will rely on transfer quarterback from La Salle Richie Munoz Richie Munoz 6'0" | 195 lbs | QB Charter Oak | 2023 State CA to put it all together. Solomon Davis Solomon Davis 6'0" | 180 lbs | WR Charter Oak | 2023 State CA is a top tier receiver who is committed to Arizona. Zakkarii Black Zakkarii Black 5'8" | 150 lbs | RB Charter Oak | 2023 State CA is a running back who can make plays out of the backfield and has offers from HBCU schools. Langston Taylor Langston Taylor 5'10" | 170 lbs | DB Charter Oak | 2023 State CA is a good two-way athlete with no offers but recently visited Northern Arizona.
Marina
Peter Kim Peter Kim 5'8" | 130 lbs | QB Marina | 2023 CA will likely be the quarterback for Marina and he impressed me at the Prep Redzone Stock Up Showcase in January. He has a solid arm for a small guy. Anthony Fabian is a quality running back and Aidan O’Callaghan returns at receiver after having 8 touchdowns as a sophomore. Luke Lastra is a quality athlete at receiver for the Vikings.
