Gavin Garretson commits to San Diego State: California high school football recruiting updates
Here’s a look at how the top high school football recruits in California fared during the third week of the 2024 season.
Class of 2027 wide receiver Skylar Robinson made the move to Serra (Gardena) prior to this season alongside his older brother Jadyn (2025 WR). In the final game of this past weekend’s Honor Bowl game in San Diego against Long Beach Poly, the younger Robinson showed off his skillset in all three phases of the game.
Robinson caught two passes for 66 yards, grabbed an interception late in the fourth quarter and even blocked an extra point attempt by Long Beach Poly in the 27-21 Serra victory. Robinson received several offers this past summer, most recently from Western Michigan.
“I want to get to Cal and Arizona State and I just got my offer from Western Michigan so I want to try and get there too,” Robinson said.
The transition in to Serra after playing last season at San Juan Hills has been a smooth one for Robinson.
“What I love about it is the tradition and how when I came in they all took me in as a brother and loved me since day one,” Robinson added.
San Clemente linebacker Matai Tagoa’i is USC’s top rated recruit from California in their 2025 recruiting class. Following last week’s game, Tagoa’i discussed his thoughts on USC’s revamped defense in 2024 as well as other recruits that have taken notice.
St. John Bosco four-star junior wide receiver posted one of the best statlines we’ll see this seasoon in Saturday’s 38-28 win at Sierra Canyon. He finished the night with 10 catches for 252 yards and three touchdowns, helping the Braves pull away late for the victory. His most recent scholarship offers have come from Texas A&M, Louisville and Wisconsin.
Madden Iamaleava and Jace Brown, four-star prospects in the class of 2025 who have both committed to UCLA, have checked out of Warren High School and are headed to Long Beach Poly for the remainder of their senior seasons. The duo played in their season opener before a disagreement led to the transfer.
Honor Fa’alave-Johnson, who had a breakout season as a freshman in 2023, has become a highly sought after prospect. Fa’alave-Johnson was at USC this past weekend and will see Oklahoma and Oregon in the upcoming weeks. After playing his freshman season at St. Augustine High School, he’s now at Cathedral Catholic High School and will be able to play once the sitout period ends on September 26.

Home damaged by fire in Carmel Valley
Two families were displaced from their Carmel Valley townhome after it went up in flames earlier this afternoon.
This happened just before 3 p.m. on Moratalla Terrace. Fire investigators said the fire started inside a garage unit because of faulty electrical equipment and robotics projects. One neighbor said she’s thankful for the quick response.
“The people that own the house were in the driveway calling 911, and within, I think within five minutes of me smelling the smoke the fire trucks were here,” said Nikki Briggs. I’m just thankful that everyone was okay, and that it didn’t keep spreading. Like if it would have been a wildfire, that would have been terrible.”
Firefighters say most of the damage was contained in the garage. A total of nine people were displaced by the fire. Five people lived inside the unit that burned. Thankfully all of them made it out safely without any injuries.
