<p><strong>11. Savelio Niumata </strong><strong style="font-size: revert;color: initial;font-family: var(--wp--preset--font-family--system-fonts)">, Edison</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Niumata is a big guy who had an excellent season for Edison in his first year as the starting quarterback. He has good ball placement to all three levels and sees the field well. Niumata is a good athlete for a guy his size and has good pocket awareness. He had an excellent showing at the Battle at the Beach passing tournament.</p>

<p><strong>12. [player_tooltip player_id='984743' first='Cash' last='O'Byrne'], Tesoro</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>O'Byrne had a very good junior season for Tesoro and has put on some significant muscle this offseason. His arm strength has drastically improved and he knows when to fire the ball in there and when to put some air under it. He will be asked to do a lot more this season with the departure of a 1,000-yard rusher and in his third year as the team's starter. O'Byrne recently landed an offer from Drake.</p>

<p><strong>13. Nate Lewis, Villa Park</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Lewis is one of the better athletes on this list. He is great at extending plays with his legs and can scramble better than most. His arm strength is solid and he has the power to throw deep off-platform. He's best when he steps up in the pocket and uses the middle of the field. Lewis is a versatile guy that the Villa Park coaching staff likely has a lot of fun designing plays for.</p>

<p><strong>14. [player_tooltip player_id='595827' first='Tommy' last='Acosta']</strong>, <strong>Capistrano Valley</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Acosta is a dual threat guy who has improved greatly as a passer over the past two years. He's always been a good athlete who can make big plays in the run game. His ball placement has improved and he has very good field vision. Acosta has a handful of lower level offers and should keep racking those up after a nice senior season.</p>

<p><strong>15. [player_tooltip player_id='406723' first='Nate' last='Richie'], Capistrano Valley Christian</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>There are a handful of guys (see below) who could have easily made this list but Richie has proven he can put up numbers at the varsity level. CVC plays in a lower division, but Richie competed at the National Preps Showcase at blended right in with high-level quarterbacks with offers. He is a big guy who has good timing with his receivers. CVC has a new offensive minded head coach who has the potential to unlock even another level for Richie. He has some offers from Grinnell College and Knox College. </p>
