Nate Garcia Nate Garcia 6’10” | C Damien | 2025 State #385 Nation CA-S has great size, and uses it well to his advantage to be a force on the glass at both ends. Garcia provides a big deterrent for opponents defensively as he is able to wall up and establish verticality well. Nate has decent touch around the basket but would do well to continue to develop his arsenal of post moves.
Blake Davidson Blake Davidson 6'8" | PF Mater Dei | 2025 State CA-S

Blake Davidson Blake Davidson 6’8″ | PF Mater Dei | 2025 State CA-S has great vision and passing ability for a big man which allows him to kickstart Mater Dei’s offense with long outlet passes and find cutters in the half-court. Davidson uses his plus length to pull down misses at both ends, but especially to effect or block shots on the defensive end.
Brannon Martinsen Brannon Martinsen 6’7″ | SF Mater Dei | 2026 State CA-S has all the tools of a HM prospect. Martinsen thrives in a point-forward role for Mater Dei as he is able to utilize his already advanced playmaking skills as well as score himself when the opportunity arises. Brannon is able to contest shots effectively on the perimeter, and provide a deterrent for opponents at the rim with his length. He should continue to develop and shine for a Mater Dei team that won the CIF Division 1 Championship last year.
Monsour Sanneh
Monsour Sanneh
Monsour Sanneh is a super competitive and tenacious forward. Sanneh competes for every rebound, challenges every shot he can, and his effort level is infectious for his teammates on both ends. Monsour has decent touch around the basket, but would do well to improve it as he generates so many opportunities that he would be able to even further increase his positive impact on games if he converted more often.
Trent Minter Trent Minter 6’5″ | SG Los Alamitos | 2025 State CA-S is a great point forward for Los Alamitos who is able to contribute on both ends for the Griffins and share in lead ball-handling duties as well which helps alleviate pressure for their guards. Minter spaces the floor as a capable 3-point shooter and can attack close-outs effectively with a variety of moves in the mid-range and in the paint.
