2. Nate Rutchena 6-foot-3, 197 pounds Monte Vista
Rutchena profiles as a safety who can have middle of the field responsibility, but is also physical enough to come down and make a play. He is a good receiver and has a basketball background. Cal, Air Force, Wyoming and Nevada have offered Rutchena.
3. Dejuan Butler 6-foot-0, 185 pounds Antioch
Boise State, Colorado State, Cal, Hawaii, Howard, San Jose State, UNLV and UCLA have offered Butler, who is a natural corner. He will challenge receivers at the line, but also has the speed to turn and run on deep routes.
4. Justin Anderson 6-foot-0, 165 pounds Menlo-Atherton

5. Asar Alim-Moore 6-foot-0, 184 pounds Folsom

6. Elijah Lawson 6-foot-2, 207 pounds Moreau Catholic

A big hitter who does a good job of creating turnovers, Apalit-Williams has been a fast rising prospect during the spring. He has been offered by Colorado State, San Jose State, Idaho State and Northern Colorado.
8. Jackson Lataimua 5-foot-11, 195 pounds Serra

9. Jayden Davis 6-foot-2, 175 pounds Bishop O'Dowd
Davis tracks plays well and is very physical with receivers at the line. He can line up on the outside or in the box and is a key defender for the Dragons. Air Force, Army, Navy and Nevada have offered Davis.
10. Deven Vanderbilt 6-foot-0, 160 pounds Valley Christian, San Jose
