Yep Bruddah GTrojan, Taylor Johnson, 3* is a great example of an A+ under da radar player.  I agree with you he will be another Troy Polamalu, Oregon HS.  Give props to GM Bowden for finding this fine FB player.

What I really like about our 2026 class is the many top 3* FB players dat GM Bowden and his R staff found and got for the football program.  I would not trade any of these 3* players for nothing.  I believe we got hidden Gems.  I love 3* players.

1.  Taylor Johnson, LB, 3*, 6-1. 200 lbs, Cajon HS.  Saw his HL tape, man what a physical LB.  Yeah, we scored big time.  Kid is old school.  He needs to put on 25 lbs.  Fast LB.

2.  Jayden Crowder, DB, 5-11, 170 lbs, 3*, Santa Margarita Catholic HS.  Nah, Jayden is 4* and one of the SS CIF top DB’s.  We scored again.

3.  Andrew Williams, 6-5, 220 lbs, 3*, DE, Fremont HS, what a steal, quick, strong.  Needs to put on 40 lbs.  He will be a star for us.

4.  JaMyron Baker, 3* Wr, 6-1, 170 lbs, 10.65 100 m, Sierra Canyon HS, strong hands, catches everything.  Big time steal.

5.  Kannon Smith, 3* OL, 6-4, 290, Valor Christian HS.  impressive HL tape.

6.  John Fifta, 3* OL, 6-7, 350 lbs, St Francis HS, San Jose, a Gem OL, another great under da radar OL

7.  Chase Deniz, 3*, OL, 6-7, 295 lbs, Catheral Catholic HS, San Diego, another great 3* pick up.  His HS is one of Calif power teams.

8.  Malik Brooks, 3* DL, 6-3, 350 lbs, St Pius HS, Los Angeles, D-12.  A project dat will surprise everyone.
