CJ Williams CJ Williams 6'2" | 195 lbs | WR Mater Dei | 2022 State CA : Williams announced his commitment to USC. This was of little surprise because Lincoln Riley invested a lot of time in recruiting him and a few of his Mater Dei teammates are going to USC. “The addition of Lincoln Riley, one of the best coaches in college football and an offensive genius, how could you pass that up as a wide receiver?” Williams said on NBC.
Earnest Greene Earnest Greene 6'5" | 330 lbs | OL St. John Bosco | 2022 State CA : Greene committed to Georgia. He visited in September and it confirmed all of his previous positive feelings about the school. “I loved it there,” Greene told Greg Biggins of 247Sports. “I loved everything about that trip and I really felt a strong connection with the school that that time. I was able to spend a lot of time with the players and particularly the Cali guys, to talk about their adjustment and how they liked it there.”

Hero Kanu Hero Kanu 6'5" | 295 lbs | DL Santa Margarita Catholic | 2022 State CA : Kanu did not get to play in the game unfortunately due to a positive COVID-19 test. He announced from his hotel room that he will go to Ohio State. He told Biggins that he likes the way Ohio State develops its players. It makes sense considering he has played less than 20 football games in his life.
Larry Turner-Gooden Larry Turner-Gooden 6'1" | 190 lbs | ATH Bishop Alemany | 2022 State CA : Turner-Gooden expectedly committed to Texas. He told Biggins that he likes the size of the school and the NIL opportunities there. He has already graduated from Alemany and will enroll at Texas in the spring.
