It was early in the combine but La Habra, Calif., linebacker TJ Patu was one of the best-looking prospects at the event and he earned the first invite back for Sunday’s camp. Patu has already landed offers from Utah, Kansas and UNLV and the coaches at Utah have compared him to Francis Bernard. That’s high praise and he looked the part during Saturday’s workout.

Someone who is expected to emerge at powerhouse Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco next season is 2021 defensive end Ieremia Moore, a 6-foot-4 262-pound prospect who recently transferred there from New Zealand. Moore couldn’t play this past season because of transfer rule but Oregon State, Cal and others are interested. He looked really solid throughout Saturday’s workout.

Two other linebackers that particularly caught our attention were 2022 prospects Donovan Poe from Long Beach (Calif.) Poly and Harmon Savaiinaea out of San Diego (Calif.) Cathedral Catholic. Both are rangy, filled out and move really well for the position. Poe is getting early looks from Utah and USC. Savaiinaea said Arizona and Arizona State have reached out.

One of the best-looking prospects at the entire event was 2022 defensive end Miles Bailey out of Vallejo (Calif.) Benicia, who does not have any offers yet but could seriously emerge through the rest of this spring and into his junior season. Bailey said Cal, Wyoming and San Jose State have contacted him.

Mission Viejo has churned out offensive linemen over the years and one of the next ones could definitely be center JT Hand, who does not have any offers yet but is hearing from Arizona, Colorado, Colorado State and others. At 6-foot-3 and 285 pounds, Hand is filled out and has a reputation for being a tough interior lineman. He will have his chance to prove it Sunday.

The other invited players for Sunday were Los Angeles Venice DE Jonathan Tejada, 2022 CB D’Shawn Jones from Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon, 2023 quarterback Carson Conklin out of Orange (Calif.) Lutheran, 2022 WR Darryl West from Redondo Beach (Calif.) Redondo Union, quarterback Scott Blankenship from Lancaster (Calif.) Eastside, Oakland (Calif.) McClymonds WR Dave’onne Sanders and Bakersifield Garces WR Zion Hall.
