Texas A&M edge rusher Marco Jones (San Ramon Valley, Danville) is the top California product on the early 2028 big board, and Mater Dei already has two ranked prospects in Oregon linebacker Nasir Wyatt and Penn State cornerback Daryus Dixson. Most of the state's 2028 class left for college β USC quarterback Husan Longstreet (Centennial, Corona) is the notable exception.
This is an early look β the 2028 board is built from only a handful of rankings and will move a lot. See the full 2028 prospects page or the 2027 California prospects.
