Team Makasi's annual showdown of Los Angeles versus San Diego has moved from a fun event into a national showcase - a proving ground for talented athletes in Southern California.
We're circling back on the guys who committed during football season. Marshall jumped in way back on August 13th, but that's when we went into preseason mode. It was also a few months after the commitment of fellow TE Deakon Tonielli, and the decommitment of TE Andrew Rappleyea a few months before that. Marshall was a guy Matt Weiss discovered while out in San Diego, and things moved quickly from there, with Marshall visiting for the barbecue, reporting an offer on July 31, and pledging shortly thereafter. He had a 1000+yard junior year as a receiver at lower-division Santa Fe Christian before switching to TE and moving up to local power Carlsbad, where he was just one of many targets of 5-star 2024 Alabama commit Julian Sayin.

Let’s play catch-up, since Michigan picked up four commits for their 2022 class since football began. The first was DT Mason Graham, a guy rising to one site, falling to another, and at least 6’3”/290 to all. Graham is a wrestler who was committed to Boise State, and is still adding to his offer list despite choosing Michigan on September 16. By all accounts Courtney Morgan was instrumental in this California recruitment; Graham plays for an LA power program, and was an early target of Fresno State. Michigan offered in late August when the lower rung of Pac 12 schools were trying to pry Graham loose from the Broncos, a visit for the Washington game sealed it, and the upper tier of the Pac-12 leapt in too late. I bet we’ll get to use the word “motor” in short order.
