Five-star setting trips
Five-star defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa (6-3, 245, 4.7) from Portland (Ore.) David Douglas is attracting the kind of attention you would expect a player of his ability to attract. Not only is Odighizuwa being with double teams, but offenses are also running away from him.
"I have taken one official visit," Odighizuwa said. "I visited Cal when they played USC. I thought it was a pretty cool visit. I really like Cal's coaches and their players."
