Orange County high school football will be overflowing with promising players as it returns under the stadium lights this fall.
From nationally-ranked Mater Dei to small-school powers such as Laguna Beach, OCVarsity’s annual Hot 150 reflects the county’s abundance of talent. About 30 seniors, for example, have already committed to colleges.
The Hot 150 is compiled from coaches’ input, video analysis, college recruiting interest, statistics, honors and observations.
The talent pool in the county seems to grow deeper each year, so some deserving players might have been left off the list. Many of the overlooked will prove they deserved to be on the Hot 150 and stir the debate as the action plays out each Friday night.
It’s just that type of competition that helps push the players to be their best.
OCVARSITY HOT 150
1. ELIJAH BROWN, Mater Dei, QB
The Stanford commit doesn’t possess the strongest arm in the country but he’s 29-1 as a starter because his accuracy, decision-making and leadership rank so high. The senior’s surrounding talent certainly helps but make no mistake, Brown is the undisputed leader of the No. 1-ranked team in the nation.
2. BRANDON BAKER, Mater Dei, OL
It’s the year of the offensive lineman in Orange County, and the senior is arguably the best. He’s the No. 1-ranked tackle in the nation by 247Sports in the class of 2024.
3. DEANDRE CARTER, Mater Dei, OL
The senior is as imposing as high school tackles come. He’s 6-foot-5, 335 pounds, and capable of pushing teammate Brandon Baker for the title of top lineman in Orange County.
4. NASIR WYATT, Mater Dei, OLB
The junior has the capability to turn his Trinity League defensive MVP award from last season into the O.C. defensive player of the year this fall. Let’s see if he can surpass his 27.5 tackles for loss and 13 sacks from ’22.
5. ZABIEN BROWN, Mater Dei, CB
The returning first-team All-County selection is trending toward a dominant senior season. He ran track in the spring and committed to Alabama in early July.
6. TJ LATEEF, Orange Lutheran, QB
The junior took a major step last season and appears primed to continue his ascent. A challenging nonleague season — with games at De La Salle of Concord and Chandler of Arizona — could provide him even more momentum.
7. JORDON DAVISON, Mater Dei, RB
Davison showed plenty of potential last season by rushing for 1,514 yards and 17 TDs as a sophomore. The Monarchs have a ton of weapons on offense but his running ability, track record and offensive line make him the No. 1 option.
8. DIJON LEE JR., Mission Viejo, CB/WR
The 6-foot-3 junior is one of the hottest recruits in the county, and with good reason. He has the size and athleticism to be a lockdown defender while also contributing on offense at wide receiver.
9. AIDAN HOUSTON, Cypress, QB
The most productive non-Trinity League player in the county? The reigning Empire League MVP presents a strong case after passing for more than 3,000 yards last season and rushing for more than 1,100. He threw 29 TDs and rushed for another 19.
10. RYNER SWANSON, Laguna Beach, TE/DE
Don’t be swayed by the senior’s small school and division. The BYU commit is 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds, and produces huge numbers. He had 83 receptions for 952 yards last season, and added nine sacks for the Division 9 champion.
11. DAVON MITCHELL, LOS ALAMITOS, TE
The senior from Texas brings major athleticism for his 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame, along with the good hands and a desire to compete for receptions. It will be interesting to see how many targets the Oklahoma commit receives.
12. AYDIN BRELAND, Mater Dei, DL
The 6-foot-5, 290-pound senior moves very well for his size, and if he grabs a ballcarrier, they’re going to the ground. Breland is the top-ranked recruit in the state in the class of 2024, according to 247Sports.
13. TALANOA ILI, Orange Lutheran, LB
Look for the hard-hitting, 6-foot-3, 215-pound sophomore to anchor a stout defense from his outside linebacker spot.
14. MARK SCHROLLER, Mission Viejo, OL
The UCLA commit and 6-foot-6, 275-pound senior finishes his blocks as well as any lineman in the county.
15. JUSTIN TAUANUU, Huntington Beach, OL
The 6-foot-6, 285-pound senior and Stanford commit is a mobile and aggressive offensive tackle.
16. JIREH MOE, Orange Lutheran, DL
The first-team All-County selection burst onto the scene last season as a physical defender with a big-time motor.
17. JORDAN ANDERSON, Newport Harbor, WR/DB
The Oregon-committed senior, a transfer from Millikan, gives the Sailors a major deep threat but he’s also an impact player on defense.
18. MARCUS HARRIS, Mater Dei, WR
Watch for this receiver if you want to see a highlight catch. The junior hauled in 12 TDs last season, including a few in spectacular fashion.
19. LUKE WEBB, JSerra, DE
The first-team All-County selection showed his speed and power coming off the edge last season as a sophomore.
20. MADDEN FARAIMO, JSerra, LB
The transfer from Cathedral Catholic in San Diego arrives as an explosive defender and one of the state’s top recruits in the Class of 2025.
21. PHILLIP BELL, Mission Viejo, WR
A junior from Christian Brothers in Sacramento, Bell has the stats and scholarship offers that signal that he will be an impact player.
22. NATHANIEL FRAZIER, Mater Dei, RB
The speedy and versatile senior often makes the most of his chances, which could be more frequent this season. The Georgia commit averaged 11.4 yards per carry last season.
23. JEILANI DAVIS, Mater Dei, S
The Utah-committed senior emerged as a defensive playmaker last season with 37 total tackles and three interceptions.
24. DARYUS DIXSON, Mater Dei, CB
Don’t sleep on the corner opposite of Zabien Brown. Dixson tied for third on the Monarchs’ tackle list last season and added two interceptions.
25. TREYVON TOLMAIRE, Mission Viejo, CB
The Boise State commit is one of the top cornerbacks in the county, and will get plenty of chances to prove it with opposing teams likely staying away from his counterpart, Dijon Lee Jr.
26. MATAI TAGOA’I, San Clemente, S
The active junior from Faith Lutheran in Nevada collected 73 tackles and nine pass deflections last season. The 6-foot-4, 195-pounder is a hard hitter who has offers from Alabama and Georgia among others.
27. KALEB ANNETT, Corona del Mar, QB
The senior’s first season as the full-time starter should be ultra-productive thanks to his athleticism and offensive weapons. He is committed to Boise State.
28. ZEUS VENEGAS, Mater DEI, DL

29. KAMAR MOTHUDI, Los Alamitos, LB/RB
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound senior from Campbell Hall is making a major step up in competition but the Oregon commit has the physical tools to be an impactful player.
30. TRENT MOSLEY, Santa Margarita, WR
The sophomore showed at the Battle at the Beach passing tournament that he’s now one of the best wideouts in Orange County.
31. JASON ROBINSON JR., San Juan Hills, WR/DB
The Long Beach Poly transfer and Washington commit is a threat to score from any spot on the field.
32. JOSIAH LAMARQUE, Newport Harbor, WR/DB
The senior carries impressive credentials after collecting 69 receptions last season for 989 yards and 11 TDs. He’s also a dangerous returner.

The Arizona State commit and San Juan Hills transfer could take off in the Lions’ spread offense, which fits his arm and running ability.

38. JACKSON KOLLOCK, Laguna Beach, QB
The 6-foot-4, 220-pound junior produced huge numbers in just nine games last season. Imagine what he’ll do with a few more this fall.

The senior transfer from Nevada has the skills to help the Griffins at cornerback or safety.
46. MAX RUFF, St. Margaret’s, QB

48. DYLAN MILLS, San Clemente, QB
The Villanova-committed senior has the starting reins and the opportunity to showcase his passing and running abilities.

50. MANOAH FAUPUSA, Los Alamitos, OL/DL
The 6-foot-3, 300-pound lineman made a major impact on both sides of the ball — including the backfield — last season as a freshman. Expect more of the same.
51. AUMA JENNINGS, Orange Lutheran, DL
The 6-foot-1, 285-pound sophomore emerged as one of the county’s best freshman last season. The first-team All-Trinity League selection is quick and strong.
52. JADEN O’NEAL, Newport Harbor, QB
The 6-foot-3, 200-pound sophomore is competing with Bode Stefano for the starting job but showed plenty of promise last season as the backup to Malachi Nelson at Los Alamitos.
53. MARCUS BROWN, Mater Dei, WR
The senior wasn’t a Hot 150 selection last season but returns as a go-to target for Elijah Brown after hauling in 37 receptions for a team-high 701 yards and nine TDs.
54. JADYN ROBINSON, San Juan Hills, WR
The 5-foot-9, 160-pound junior from Long Beach Poly and younger brother of Jason Robinson Jr. might be the quickest receiver in the county. He led the Jackrabbits in receptions (48) and receiving TDs (nine) last season.

The Air Force commit and 5-foot-10, 212-pound senior could deliver another 1,000-yard rushing season.
57. KAINOA DAVIS, Mater Dei, OL/DL
