The four-time defending Open Division champs are led by interior offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea, who is ranked as the No. 4 overall college football recruit in the state. The 3-star prospect has given his verbal commitment to Arizona.
Joining Savaiinaea on the O-Line will be San Diego State-boiund Laakea Kapoi. The offensive tackle is the No. 5 prospect in the Class of 2021.
On the other side of the ball is safety Kona Moore. The No. 7 ranked prospect is the first to stay in-state.
