The Mater Dei product is one of the more sought after prospects in this 2027 class, and had a stellar Freshman campaign for one of the top programs in the nation. He currently holds offers from Cincinnati, Hawaii and Maryland with other P4 schools most likely to offer sooner rather than later. He enters into our initial ’27 rankings as the number one offensive line prospect in this class across California, and deservingly so. He is a very good athlete with quick feet, a strong lower body and powerful first step that wins with initial strike, leverage and can violently finish downfield while showing he can get out and block in space/pull with ease. He is a complete prospect at the IOL position and very balanced with his technique and has a very high floor at the next level.
Fehoko checks into our rankings as the number three overall offensive line prospect in the state in this 2027 class, and is is one of the best lineman across Northern California regardless of class. He currently already holds offers from SJSU, SDSU, Arizona and Tennessee, and should be a national recruit as he continues to develop and moves through his prep career for the Padres. He is very strong and powerful for his age, and is a consistently winning in the trenches while playing in one of the toughest leagues in the norcal region. Showing patient hands in pass protection, he can anchor well against bull rushers and is not a lunger with a strong base, while creating vertical push in a hurry in the run game and snaps out of his stance quickly while able to pull across the LOS when needed and block out in the second level with ease. He is a true road grader that will be one of the top players overall in the WCAL in 2024.
Lauifi checks into our rankings as the number four offensive line prospect in his class, and sneaks in just inside the top 40 overall in this elite Freshmen class in California. He started his career as St. Augustine, but like many left the program after the school made a coaching change and is now at Cathedral Catholic. He provides nice position versatility along both the offensive and defensive line, and is an already violent player that plays with a high motor and uses his athleticism, short area twitch and hand usage to win at the POA. He can play on either side of the ball at the next level, and has already collected his first FBS offer from Washington State, who offered back in January.
Mageo is one of the more athletic offensive line prospects in the state regardless of class, and is a terrific athlete that can get out in space and block second and even third level defenders from his OL position. He shows quick and fluid feet, strong lateral movement abilities in pass protection with a strong and patient strike, and consistent leg drive downfield before finishing defenders. He has already collected a few P4 offers from the likes of Cal, Washington State and UNLV, and will be one of the top offensive line prospects in the state in this 2027 class over the next few seasons.
