Next Gen Stars Shining in High School Football | Los Angeles News

High school football is exploding with talent, especially at linebacker and running back. DeAndre Kirkpatrick (San Diego State) and Elyjah Staples (Cal) are leading the charge, while Servite’s Allen Kennett and Isaiah Leilua, and St. John Bosco’s USC-bound Josiah Porter, are proving their dominance. Linebackers like Isaiah Phelps, George Hastings, Sevelino Taliauli, and Noah Curtin (122 tackles!) are making huge impacts with grit and smarts. On offense, AJ McBean (Stanford), Noel Washington, Malachi McFarland, and Kamden Tillis (1,500+ yards) are turning heads. Off the field, personal rivalries and transfer trends add drama—like Gabe Crecion’s son Aidan facing off against Chaminade. And beyond football? Nylah and Cinzia Moore are poised to shine in flag, while Jaden Soong dominates golf with a Junior PGA win. The future of sports is already here—and it’s electric.
