OL standouts [player_tooltip player_id="273607" first="David" last="Perez"] and Garfield transfer Aaron Flores will be a steady presence upfront for the OL unit and Bryant Carey will be a playmaker to watch on both sides of the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id="25366" first="Aidan" last="Chiles"]- QB, 2023    Chiles exploded on the recruiting trail in the spring picking up eight offers since March and committing to Oregon St. in June. He's a talented dual-threat QB with great physical tools and athleticism at 6'4”/205. He's comfortable in the pocket utilizing a strong, accurate arm to spread the ball around the field. He can layer the ball and fit it into tight windows over the middle. He's smart with the football and gets the ball out quick and on time. He's a threat in the read-option game with high-level speed and elusiveness. Chiles enters his senior season as one of the top dual-threat QBs in SoCal.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ai6an_/status/1534954290439081984 </div></figure>   Bryant Carey- ATH, 2023    Carey's a key returner on both sides of the ball playing WR/DB. He can work the shallow-intermediate area out of the slot with strong hands and ability to catch in traffic. He's a natural athlete that can create separation in his breaks with sharp cuts and short-area burst. He's a physical downhill tackler from his S spot that doesn't hesitate to provide run support. Carey picked up his first offer from Western New Mexico in June.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Bj3Carey/status/1538719618084196352 </div></figure>   [player_tooltip player_id="273607" first="David" last="Perez"]- OL, 2024    Perez is one of the more polished ‘24 OL in SoCal. He's a strong blocker in the run game that can pull to either direction from both RG/LG spots and moves athletically in space. He's physically imposing at 6'3”/280 and can move DL off the ball with his power and leverage. He shows advanced footwork and polished technique in pass pro and works well on combo blocks. He's consistent with his hand placement and packs a strong punch at the LOS. Perez has potential to breakout as a D-I OL prospect in the fall.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/david_perez574/status/1538352258219249664 </div></figure>   Jaylen Crutchfield- DB, 2023    Crutchfield is a versatile defender that can play nickel, SS, and OLB at 6'1”/200. He flashes coverage skills in space with instincts and fast reactions in shallow coverage. He's a physical tackler on the edge that contains outside runs and fits into brackets well. He can get down the line and make plays coming from the backside with good motor. Crutchfield's an under-the-radar prospect with upside in his coverage skills and ability to play in space.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/playboiijjj/status/1526661021695299584 </div></figure>   Aaron Flores- OL, 2023    Flores is a Garfield transfer that can play G or C. He opens holes in the inside run game with powerful leg drive and a sturdy frame at 6'1”/290. He explodes off the ball and is quick to snap-and-engage as a C. He can anchor down in pass pro and is an effective interior combo blocker. Flores and Perez should form a strong anchor for Downey's OL unit in the fall.   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/57_Floress/status/1546205563112984577 </div></figure>   More Notables:    [player_tooltip player_id="261743" first="Angelo" last="Miranda"]- ATH, 2023    Keion Andrew- RB, 2023    [player_tooltip player_id='1128219' first='Anthony' last='Irons']- DL, 2024    Logan Bledsoe- QB, 2025    Caleb Jauregui- WR, 2025
