If the receiver position is the strongest in Southern California, then that means the pressure will be on defensive backs to hold their own.
It’s going to be quite a challenge for defensive backs in one-on-one battles this fall. Those who are successful against a talented group of receivers could find college recruiters getting excited.
Raymond Ford of Gardena Serra is a UCLA commit with lots of skills. Kevon Seymour of Pasadena Muir and Ishmael Adams of Westlake Village Oaks Christian are highly regarded for their speed and athleticism.
Chaz Anderson of Los Angeles Loyola is a Boise State commit who was impressive all summer. Jerico Richardson of Mission Hills Alemany and Kendrick Mathis of Ventura Buena project as standouts. Juniors David Price of Long Beach Poly and Dashon Hunt of Westlake Village Westlake have been earning rave reviews.
