The Spartans, No. 10 in the MaxPreps composite national preseason rankings, appear to have it all (especially up front), at running back and linebacker with junior preseason All-American Henry To’oto’o (6-foot-2, 210).
Keep an eye on Spencer Petras (Marin Catholic-Kentfield, 3,032 passing yards, 33 touchdowns, Oregon State commit), Jake Simmons (Rancho Cotate-Rohnert Park, 3,816, 43), Ben Wooldridge (Foothill-Pleasanton, Fresno State), Tyree Bracy (Milpitas, 2,600, 24) and Clark Baker (San Ramon Valley-Danville, 2,736, 32).
Chryst, a 6-3, 210-pound junior quarterback, follows in the footsteps of older brother Keller (now at Stanford) and his dad, former 49ers offensive coordinator Geep.
Patrick (6-2, 194), a receiver and defensive end, is a top recruit who might take some snaps in the wildcat.
Tyriq (6-0, 180), a running back and defensive back, is the sixth-ranked recruit in the area.
Senior linebackers Jalen and Jeremiah Lane were first-team All-Solano County Athletic Conference selections last year and sophomores Kameron (quarterback) and Kendall (defensive back) are projected starters.
The Gaels have won 54 straight games and three consecutive USA Today mythical national titles.
Pittsburg, ranked 19th in the state by MaxPreps, features playmakers everywhere but graduated five starting offensive linemen.
Menlo-Atherton and Bishop O’Dowd lost quite a bit of talent to graduation, but each might be bigger and faster than last season.
Besides Jones, O’Dowd boasts Oregon-bound safety Jevon Holland (6-1, 182) - the area’s No. 3 recruit — Cal-bound tackle Miles Owens (6-7, 315) and wide receiver Quinn Brinnon (6-0, 185).
M-A features linebacker Kilifi Leaaetoa (6-1, 210), guard Ben Makoni (6-3, 305) and defensive end Dimitri Sakalia (6-4, 240).
