Clemson five-star commit DJ Uiagalelei put his high school team on his back Saturday night, rallying St. John Bosco (Bellflower, Calif.) from a big deficit to defeat Mater Dei (Santa Ana, Calif.) and claim the CIF Southern Section Division 1 title.
Uiagalelei, the nation’s top-ranked quarterback, threw for 444 yards and five touchdowns while leading Bosco to a 39-34 victory after trailing by as many as 23 points in the first half.
“Winning that with all the seniors, we’ve been playing together for four years, and we just wanted to win our (CIF-SS Division 1) championship for ourselves,” Uiagalelei told The Clemson Insider.
