Southern California is the place where quarterbacks become household names as teenagers. Following in the footsteps of Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen and JT Daniels is D.J. Uiagalelei, a muscular 6-foot-5, 238-pound junior at Bellflower St. John Bosco. He flings passes with so much power that he can break a finger if the receiver is unprepared.
He’s ranked as the No. 1 college prospect for the class of 2020, and it really is a no-brainer. Just ask the good folks from Mililani High, who dropped by from Hawaii on Friday night and had no answer for Uiagalelei, who completed 26 of 32 passes for 373 yards and six touchdowns in a 52-14 victory.
