Video: Justin Lamson 2019 highlights
Watch one of Northern California's top all-around quarterbacks.
In the winter of 2019, MaxPreps reached out to high school coaches
nationwide to find 100 of the most under-recruited players in the
country. The
response was well received.
With
Class of 2021 players unable to attend showcases or spring football due
to COVID-19 restrictions, we decided to move up this year's survey. The
response was enormous.
In less than a
week, more than 500 surveys were returned, highlighting why these
players, almost all with little or no college attention, would help any
FBS, FCS, Division II or Division III program.
We
have broken the responses into regions, today featuring the West,
which includes high school players from Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii.
Here
are Class of 2021 West players whose coaches think should be on someone's
radar, including position, recommended college level, film and comments.
