Top California WR Eli Woodard Committing to USC Today

[BigBalls]

Those are the expert predictions anyway. Also considering Oregon, Mizzou ( I know, huh?), Michigan. Top 56 overall player in California. USC is looking good for some top local players this cycle.

Thanxs Bruddah for the pretty good news.  Woodard, 5-11, 170, 3* has decent speed 10.9 100 m, 22.8 200 m.

USC must land Quentin Hale, 4*, 6-3, 195 #1 Wr Calif, Centennial HS-Corona.  Noticed Hale transferred from Cathedral HS, Los Angeles.

Bayon Harris, 3*, 6-4, 200, Central East HS, Fresno.  Nah, Harris is 4* all da way.

Or, Demar Dezeurn, 3+*, 5-10, 170, Pacific Palisades HS, Los Angeles.  Demar is very fast, 10.4 100 m, 21.8 200 m.    Cheers

Just saw dat Demar Dezeurn committed to OU, oh well.  Next.

Forgot another very good Wr, Rahz Edwards, 4*, 6-6, 210, All State CIF, Grant Union HS, Sacramento.  TE rankings, #4 N, #1 Ca, but he is really a Big Wr.  Grant Union used him as such.  Saw him 2 times, 2204, 2025, he’s an imposing FB player.  He caught everything thrown to him, very physical, very competitive, strong-hard to tackle and bring down.  Athletic, very good BB player as well for Grant Union, 18 pts a game.  Decent speed, 11.2 100 m.  Hope USC lands dis fine Wr…  Cheers

Keep the recruiting news coming fellas.  Just saw Lenny Vandermade’s kid (Santa Margarita) was CB’d to USC.  From the 2 Santa Margarita games I caught last season, he looks like a real football player.  Definitely a player who has a chance to make a jump in the 2026 rankings

Bruddah, the names I’m hearing are

Hale, Eric McFarland Bradenton IMG, Damani Warren Vegas.

It’s still early in the process but I read USC will take three  WR’s this cycle.

[Butkus51]

Hale is a USC lean.  I know that McFarland is a top player and won MVP O at the Poly Bowl, Hawaii,  Man, if can land dis kid dat would be awesome.  Warren is a top Wr too.  Good deal, looks like GM Bowden and staff have targeted top Wr’s.

Yeah, but I think they could have done better than Woodard…  Cheers

I’m certainly no expert Butkus, but after watching the videos of Hale and Woodard, they were both impressive.  Woodard was so quick in one on ones that he got separation easily on all the reps I viewed.  He doesn’t have great speed as noted, but I haven’t seen any WRs with the ability to separate from coverage like he does.  Hale was also good, but Woodard was noticeably better.

[Butkus51]

Thanxs Bruddah GTrojan on Woodard.  I’ll accept your good analysis.  OK, I have not seen him play and should not have wrote negative sheet.  C.LR and Wr AC Simmons are da experts and know who to recruit.  OK, we got a good one in Woodard.

I’ve seen Hale in a game and his impressive HL tape; yes he is a must get…  Cheers

[Butkus51]

Bruddah GTrojan, OK, just saw Woodard HL tape, he is very good with deceptive speed.  Strong hands, runs A+ routes, physical, looks competitive.  Yep, like this Wr very much.  See his HL tape.  Good call Bruddah GTrojan and Bruddah Balls, Shaka.

But, then I noticed the QB throwing dimes, with touch, good velocity (strong arm), A+ runner & legs-fast, very impressive DT QB.  The QB is Dane Weber. 6-2, 210 lbs, 11.0 100 m, P = 2700 yds, 28 TD, only 3 IT’s, R = 835 yds, 11 TD’s.  Webber is rated 4*, #2 QB (dual threat) in Calif, #25 N.  Man, I can see Webber as our QB.  So far C.LR has offered only 2 QB’s but his #1 target is an LSU commit.  Focus on Webber throwing great passes to Woodard.  Dis kid is talented & athletic, DT QB.  He fits well in C.LR O…   Cheers

Had no idea Oregon was even after this guy, never heard of him before.  But sounds like he could be a good one.

All I know is that CA will continue to be a battleground for Oregon and USC for this 2027 recruiting class.

Should be fun!!
