Collins didn't put up huge numbers in 2018, but he will be one of St. John Bosco quarterback DJ Uiagalelei's main targets this season.

Collins has received scholarship offers from the likes of Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State.

#20 – Justin Houston – 2020 Gardena Serra LB

In ten games a year ago Houston made 105 tackles. He also had a pick-six. Houston's brother John is a senior linebacker at USC.

#18 – Ethan Garbers – 2020 Corona Del Mar QB

The Washington commit threw for a whopping 4,135 yards and 55 touchdowns in 2018. Garbers should put up video game-like numbers again this season. His three favorite targets, Bradley Schlom, John Humphreys and Mark Redman, all return for their senior years at Corona Del Mar.

#17 – LV Bunkley-Shelton – 2020 Gardena Serra WR

Bunkley-Shelton caught 81 passes for 1,012 yards and three touchdowns in 2018. He also made 35 tackles as a defensive back. The receiver has received scholarship offers from Ohio State, USC and a handful of other high profile schools.

#14 – Darion Green-Warren – 2020 Narbonne CB

Green-Warren was one-half of the best cornerback duo in the state in 2019. Alongside Elias Ricks, Green-Warren led a Mater Dei defense that won Southern Section and State open division titles. The cornerback finished the year with three interceptions and only 21 solo tackles. Quarterbacks didn't throw his way too much. For the 2019 season, Green-Warren has enrolled at Narbonne.

#13 – Jordan Banks – 2020 Narbonne LB

Banks had 20 tackles for loss and 13 sacks for Narbonne in 2018. In the City Section championship game against Garfield, Banks blocked a punt and returned it for a touchdown. The linebacker's top four college choices are Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Washington.

#12 – Gary Bryant – 2020 Corona Centennial WR

Bryant hauled in 40 receptions for 905 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2018. He also had a rushing score. Defensively, Bryant snagged two interceptions and returned a punt for a touchdown on special teams. The receiver is a consensus top 300 recruit in the nation and has scholarship offers from over 20 schools.

The senior-to-be will lead a Braves team that hopes to return to the top of Division I in the Southern Section following two years of Mater Dei dominance. Williams plans to announce his college commitment July 29th. Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Tennessee and Texas A&M are all in the mix for the linebacker.

#9 – John Humphreys – 2020 Corona Del Mar WR

Humphreys' junior stat line is incredible: 103 receptions, 1,783 receiving yards and 28 touchdowns. The wide-out is a top 250 national recruit on all of the major sites and still might be underrated. He is committed to Stanford.

#8 – Jake Garcia – 2021 Narbonne QB

After sitting out Narbonne's first four games in 2018 due to CIF transfer rules, Garcia started under center the rest of the season for the Gauchos and led Narbonne to a City Section open division championship. The quarterback completed 75% of his passes and threw for 1,783 yards and 15 touchdowns in limited game time.

#7 – Myles Murao – 2020 Mater DeiOL

I’m Committed.. pic.twitter.com/9Nqn0ezh30

— Myles (@MylesMurao) July 4, 2019

The Washington commit started as a sophomore on Mater Dei's 2017 state championship team, one of the top California high school football teams in the state's history. Last season, Murao broke his leg playing for the Monarchs. He's still not 100% and is hoping to work back to full strength by the start of his senior year.

#6 – Johnny Wilson – 2020 Calabasas WR

In a year he battled injuries, Wilson still caught 40 passes for 672 yards and ten touchdowns as a junior. The receiver has been a consistent varsity playmaker since his freshman season at Calabasas. He's regarded as one of the nation's top prospects regardless of position.

#5 – Clark Phillips – 2020 La Habra CB/WR

Phillips is a coach's dream. He caught 54 passes for 1,210 yards and 19 touchdowns in 2018 and the rising senior isn't even a receiver by trade. Phillips has committed to Ohio State to play cornerback. He picked off two passes and made 18 tackles as a junior. Opposing quarterbacks were afraid to look his way.

#4 – Korey Foreman – 2021 Corona Centennial DE

I am beyond blessed and so very grateful to have received a full ride scholarship from CLEMSON UNIVERSITY #ALLIN @ClemsonFB pic.twitter.com/kMVYhGhZH0

— Korey Foreman (@koreyforeman54) July 16, 2019

After contributing to a Corona Centennial team that advanced to the Division I semifinals of the Southern Section playoffs in 2018, Foreman has had an offseason to remember this spring/summer. Even though he'll only be a junior, he won the defensive MVP at the Opening Finals in Frisco, Texas earlier this month. His recruitment has exploded as well. The defensive end will be a huge piece for the Huskies in 2019.

#3 – Bryce Young – 2020 Mater Dei QB
