As the dust settles from the 2025 season, a fresh crop of transfers is making waves, bringing raw athleticism, proven production, and untapped potential to new programs. These athletes aren't just switching schools; they're elevating the competition and drawing early eyes from Power 5 recruiters.<br>In this article, we dive into detailed scouting reports on six standout transfers, Whether it's a lock-down corner ready to blanket elite receivers or a dual-threat signal-caller with NFL traits, these prospects represent the future of the gridiron.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["958720"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699cc841ced50"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Transferred from Mater Dei to Sierra Canyon</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ramos is a lanky corner at 6-2, 170 pounds with the frame to add 15-20 pounds without losing his fluidity—ideal for boundary work in man-heavy schemes. As a sophomore backup at powerhouse Mater Dei, he logged 8 tackles (6 solo) and 4 passes defended across 8 games, showing flashes in limited snaps against elite competition. His play pops with his length in press coverage; he disrupts at the line and has recovery speed to mirror vertical routes. He's raw but has high-ceiling traits—smooth hips, ball skills from playing both sides of the ball early on. Needs to bulk up for physicality against bigger Power 5 receivers and refine footwork to avoid grabs in phase. At Sierra Canyon, expect more reps to accelerate his growth. Projection: Power 5 potential; versatile enough for safety if he fills out.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/ocvarsityguy/status/2014136120943231470?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/ocvarsityguy/status/2014136120943231470?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":"","_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2135628,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699cc841ceddf"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["2081474"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2135628,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699ce16babeca"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Transferred from Valley View to Alta Loma</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Randin is a shifty slot-type at around 5-10 (weight unlisted but looks 160-170 on tape), with quick-twitch burst that makes him a YAC threat after short catches. As a sophomore at Valley View, he hauled in 46 receptions for 665 yards (14.5 avg), showing reliable hands and route-running polish beyond his years. He has good body control on fades and slants, plus elusiveness in open field. Transfer to Alta Loma could mean a bigger role in a spread offense. Strengths: Separation quickness and toughness over the middle; doesn't shy from contact. Areas for growth: Add strength to beat press and expand his route tree for outside alignments. Not a burner, so speed testing will be key. Projection: Solid Group of 5 contributor, perhaps FCS star if he stacks productive seasons; undervalued due to lack of elite measurables but plays bigger than his size.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/damianrandin7/status/2016343144066105677?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/damianrandin7/status/2016343144066105677?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":2135657,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Caesar Rayes","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2027","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'11u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"190","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_weight":"field_65b288425ecf6","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"2408","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Salesian","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699ce16babfa2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Transferred from Garfield to Salesian</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Reyes is a compact, explosive back at 5-11, 170 pounds—built low to the ground with linebacker instincts that make him a two-way menace. Two-time All-City honoree who shattered Garfield's single-game rushing record with 420 yards and 4 TDs against South Gate, showcasing vision, balance, and breakaway speed. Career totals: Over 4,199 rushing yards, 63 TDs, plus 170 tackles (117 solo) on defense—true workhorse who thrives in gap schemes but can bounce outside. Hes tough; absorbs hits, finishes runs forward, and contributes in pass pro. Versatility as a LB adds value for packages. Needs to add mass for durability at the college level and refine receiving skills out of the backfield. At Salesian, he'll anchor the ground game. Projection: Power 5 rotational back or Group of 5 feature; his production screams immediate impact, especially in run-heavy offenses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/CeasarReyes_5/status/1991973453281603804?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/CeasarReyes_5/status/1991973453281603804?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["485966"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699ce16babffa"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Transferred from Huntington Beach to Chaminade</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Robinson is a twitched-up athlete at 5-11, 170-180 pounds, with verified track speed that translates to the field—committed to North Carolina since February 2025 and holding firm despite flips from bigger programs. He has elite acceleration off the line, precise stems, and contested-catch ability despite size. Multiple transfers (San Juan Hills, Gardena Serra, Huntington Beach) highlight adaptability, but eligibility issues sidelined him in 2025—now at Chaminade for a senior splash. Strengths: Return game upside, plays DB with instincts (could flip sides in college). Needs to add bulk for blocking and durability. Buzz from UNC visits praises his work ethic. Projection: ACC contributor with slot WR starter potential; special teams weapon early, could climb boards with a big 2026.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman/status/2013732408525279454?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/BrandonHuffman/status/2013732408525279454?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1621281"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":2135680,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699ce16bac06c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Transferred from Monrovia to St. Paul</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Saucedo is an undersized gunslinger at 5-9, 160-170 pounds, but his arm talent and poise makes you almost forget about the frame—pure pocket passer with quick release and touch on all levels. As a sophomore, threw for 1,265 yards, 13 TDs, and 6 INTs in just 5 games before an ACL tear; freshman year: 2,358 yards, 23 TDs, 5 INTs, including a 320-yard, 3-TD debut. Hes accurate in tight windows, good decision-making under pressure, and ability to extend plays with subtle pocket movement. Transfer to St. Paul under new coach Austin Montoya could unlock more in a pro-style setup. Strengths: High football IQ, processes quickly; overcame youth with young receivers. Height is the knock—limits visibility and batted balls—but compensates with mechanics. Projection: Group of 5 starter or Power 5 backup; if he adds velocity post-rehab, could draw offers from spread systems like those in the Big 12.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/coachmark_48/status/2023804626886369298?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/coachmark_48/status/2023804626886369298?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["432272"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-699ce16bac0bd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700"><strong>Transferred from Leuzinger to Mater Dei</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sekona has prototypical QB size at 6-2 to 6-3, 225-230 pounds—sturdy frame with room to refine, already drawing early offers from Arizona, Colorado State, and Hawaii. As a sophomore starter at Leuzinger, completed 92-of-147 (62.6%) for 1,691 yards, 22 TDs, and just 4 INTs; led with poise, benefiting from dad as OC. His arm strength shines on deep outs and posts; good zip, touch on layers, and mobility to escape. At Mater Dei, he'll battle in a loaded room but the competition sharpens tools. Strengths: Leadership, low turnover rate; processes defenses well. Needs to quicken footwork and add escapability. Projection: Power 5 starter with NFL traits if he dominates at MD; pedigree and size scream blue-chip upside in a pro-style offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/RUSSELL9SEKONA/status/2017043739815157958?s=20","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/RUSSELL9SEKONA/status/2017043739815157958?s=20 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Allen, Kennett V</strong><br>Position: Linebacker<br>Grade: Junior<br>Previous School: Servite<br>New School: Santa Margarita<br>Notes: Was all-Trinity League as a sophomore.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>D'Epifanio, Dylan</strong><br>Position: Quarterback<br>Grade: Junior<br>Previous School: Irvine Northwood<br>New School: Bishop Amat<br>Notes: Passed for 1,769 yards and 15 touchdowns as a sophomore. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Dezeurn, Demare</strong><br>Position: Receiver<br>Grade: Senior<br>Previous School: Palisades<br>New School: Westlake<br>Notes: He's one of the fastest in the state and was All-City as a junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Erdman, Owen</strong><br>Position: Kicker<br>Grade: Junior<br>Previous School: Servite<br>New School: Los Alamitos<br>Notes: Highly regarded young kicker. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Guerrero, Isaiah</strong><br>Position: Quarterback<br>Grade: Senior<br>Previous School: Los Osos<br>New School: Bonita<br>Notes: Passed for more than 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hale, Quentin</strong>*<br>Position: Receiver<br>Grade: Senior<br>Previous School: Cathedral<br>New School: Corona Centennial<br>Notes: Had 62 receptions and 12 touchdown catches in 2025. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Humphries, Jackson</strong><br>Position: Quarterback<br>Grade: Senior<br>Previous School: Nevada Coronado<br>New School: San Clemente<br>Notes: Passed for more than 1,500 yards;
