Recruiting for California high school football: Top 10 groups with most endorsers

Not only did St. John Bosco-Bellflower, the state and national champion, sign the most players to college football programs, but the Braves also signed more players than any other California school.

Jason Negro’s team has signed 16 players to FBS programs during the early signing period (December 21-23) and the first day of the regular signing period (February 1 to March 1).

Eight is the next closest number, and two teams are tied for second. Corona Centennial, a perennial national and Inland Empire power, is one of these schools; the other might most surprise.

PITTSBURG’s JADEN RASHADA lands a scholarship at ASU; FOLSOM’s WALKER LYONS will transfer to USC in 2024; SERRA’s RODRICK PLEASANT selects OREGON over USC. Superpower Mater Dei or Santa Claus?

No.

What about Los Alamitos or Long Beach Poly, two other big-school powerhouses that consistently ranked among the top five teams all season? Or Mission Viejo?

No, tying Centennial for first place. In reality, Inglewood came out on top with eight signers, followed by Los Alamitos with seven.

The excess seven schools approved either five or six competitors.
