Rasmussen is already a very polished signal caller with a quick release, strong arm downfield and a very high football IQ, especially for his age. The 2026 prospect impressed at multiple events this off-season leading into his Freshman campaign at the Norcal power and already has made a impact on Varsity. He will be one of the top quarterbacks across California by the time he graduates and currently holds offers from FAU and SJSU.
WR Cynai Thomas Cynai Thomas 6'2" | 165 lbs | WR Archbishop Riordan | 2026 State CA , Menlo-Atherton HS
Cynai Thomas Cynai Thomas 6'2" | 165 lbs | WR Archbishop Riordan | 2026 State CA is the next great wide receiver to come out of the Bay, following in the footsteps of Menlo-Atherton great Troy Franklin from a few years back. He has elite speed downfield, is a long strider and shows good ball skills/highpoint ability when making contested catches. Able to dominate good competition as only a Freshman, Thomas has proven that he will be one of the top pass catchers in the country by the time it’s all said and done and it will not become long until he is a household name across the state. Thomas currently holds offers from SJSU and Oregon State after camping with them, but it is only a matter of time until he collects national attention and offers.
QB Deagan Rose, Clovis HS
Rose has established himself as the starter for Clovis for the 2022 season and had a solid outing against a tough Long Beach Poly squad in week one last week. He has solid arm talent for his age and is a natural thrower while able to make plays outside the pocket and feel pressure/step up and deliver accurately. Not only just one of the top players in the Valley, Rose will end up being one of the top prospects across California in the coming years within the 2026 class.
OL Tommy Tofi, Sheldon HS
Tofi is a mauler in the trenches and has elite size and strength for his age and the Power Five level. Starting as a Freshman for Sheldon last week, he showed heavy hands, a strong base and nasty finish when continuing through his block progression. Tough, physical and a massive kid, he will only improve his feet and start to pack on more muscle as he moves through his high school career. It will not be long until he collects his first Division I offer.
RB/LB Isaiah Ene Isaiah Ene 5'8" | 185 lbs | ATH Granite Bay | 2026 State CA , Granite Bay HS
Ene is one of the top two-way players across Norcal and recently picked up his first offer from the University of Utah this week. He is a physically developed kid with good strength and a frame that can continue to add weight as he moves through his high school career. He is extremely physical at the POA while a downhill runner with lean and leg drive through contact with a nice initial burst through the first level while packing a punch at contact and running through tacklers. Playing against tough competition in the SFL, he can more than hold his own and will be a name to keep a close eye on.
