30. Auckland Asiata 6-foot-3, 240 pounds DE Sutter (FRESNO STATE)
The Fresno State commit plays with a high motor, has active hands to shed blockers and good strength to get into the backfield. Asiata had 84 tackles and 9.5 sacks and is the lone Northern Section player in the Top 50.
29. Kalolo Kaihea 6-foot-7, 246 pounds OL Riordan
He is starting high school football this coming season, but his size and athleticism combo has drawn offers from San Jose State, UNLV, Utah State and Utah. Kaihea has the potential to be a breakout prospect this fall as he gets more film.
28. Berlin Lillard 6-foot-5, 325 pounds OL Bishop O’Dowd (COLORADO STATE)
Lillard is a powerful offensive guard who moves pretty well for his size and routinely blocks defenders into the ground. He also creates havoc as a defensive tackle for the Dragons. Lillard committed to Colorado State this summer.
27. Herschel Turner Jr. 5-foot-10, 185 pounds RB Mt. Diablo
As a junior at Freedom, Turner rushed for 911 yards and 14 touchdowns with 280 receiving yards and a pair of scores. He is a tough runner with some breakaway speed to make him a big play threat as a runner, receiver and returner. Utah and Washington State are among his offers.
26. Drew Cunningham 6-foot-4, 225 pounds LB De La Salle
Cunningham is a long linebacker who is a good edge rusher, can make plays at the second level and play in coverage. He was one of the Spartans’ best defenders a year ago and finished with 56 tackles. He is a high academic prospect with offers from Yale, Penn, Columbia and Army.
25. Frank Cusano 6-foot-3,220 pounds LB Granite Bay (WASHINGTON STATE)
Cusano was a versatile standout for the Grizzlies with 111 tackles while also being third in the team in receiving yards. He is a big hitter in the middle of the field, reads action quickly and cna chase down plays going toward the sideline.
24. Danny Niu 6-foot-0, 205 pounds LB Serra (SAN DIEGO STATE)
Niu plays linebacker much like he plays running back. See the gap. Fire through the gap. End with physicality and aggression. He had more than nine yards per carry on 40 attempts to go with 51 tackles. He continues the pipeline from Serra to San Diego State.
23. Kamani Jackson 6-foot-0, 180 pounds DB El Cerrito
Jackson has announced his final three of San Diego State, San Jose State and Washington State with a decision planned for September. On the field, he can play close to the line and then turn and run with most receivers. He can also create turnovers and get big runbacks off of them.
22. Joseph Bey 6-foot-1, 185 pounds DB Serra (SAN JOSE STATE)
Bey is a good tackler who isn’t afraid to mix it up in the box. He has good length to cover ground on the backend and is part of a strong defense for the Padres. Bey is staying local with a commitment to San Jose State.
21. Jabari Mann 6-foot-0, 200 pounds LB Serra (SAN JOSE STATE)
It is no wonder the WCAL Junior of the Year is one of the top returning seniors in Northern California. Mann has good size, a quick first step and works through traffic to reach the ball and finish plays off. Mann was an early commit for San Jose State.
