Jaden O'Neal, QB, Narbonne, Jr. (Oklahoma): The most highly-touted prospect in the City Section. O'Neal transferred from Newport Harbor and will be eligible immediately to kick off his junior campaign. O'Neal will have a lot of weapons at his disposal.

David Sandy, ATH, LA Jordan, Sr.: Sandy did a little bit of everything in 2023. He passed for 343 yards and three TDs, but also ran for 2,904 yards and 39 TDs. He also tallied 65 tackles and had two INTs.
