Class of 2025 strong in California

Five juniors from California demonstrate how strong the class is across the state, as the five of them are currently in the recruiting process and looking to continue to build there resume. These five come from all over the state, from near San Diego all the way up to around the Bay Area.   [player_tooltip player_id='19693' first='Kaylee' last='Foxhoven'], Forward, Viewpoint, Class of 2025   Foxhoven is a player that is getting better and better. She played striker this year for Viewpoint, but played as a No. 11 before that. She is a very creative and versatile player who can do it all, either as a center forward or a wide forward. She is getting much better about using her speed to make runs behind, or through, a back line. She's getting better about making these runs in order to score, instead of trying to get a cross into the box. She's very good at pressuring the back line as she showed at the ECNL Showcase in Phoenix for her club, Eagles SC. She is a ball winner, and she is really quick on the counter attack.   [player_tooltip player_id='136458' first='Sarah' last='Griffin'], Central Midfielder, JSerra Catholic, Class of 2025   Griffin attends JSerra Catholic in San Juan Capistrano and plays club for the 05/06 SoCal Blues team. She is a center mid who shows great fitness as she has a motor that does not stop. She has great technical ability, which allows her to be very creative. She's good with set pieces, and is getting better. Aside from her work rate and technical skill, she's also great about operating in tight spaces, creating when there is not much room to move in and she has great vision in 1-2 touch situations.   [player_tooltip player_id='70549' first='Gianna' last='Nurisso'], Outside Defender, St. Francis-Mountain View, Class of 2025   Nurisso is the epitome of perseverence. After injuring her knee last summer, she has worked hard and tirelessly to get back on the pitch. She has been very persistent and determined during this long, hard road. She is facing an uphill battle in terms of recruitment as colleges are looking for her to show she's healthy after interested schools cooled. Nurisso is going to show those coaches it was a mistake to not keep her on the radar and any college that offers her will see just how good she is. She is a very fast, dynamic outside back who defends incredibly well and pushes up quickly and plays with pace. She can score and whip crosses into the box. She has a powerful shot and a very good first touch. Her speed is coming back and so is her explosiveness. She's versatile and tenacious, on both sides of the ball, and has showed a mental toughness and resilience any school would be lucky to have on their team.   [player_tooltip player_id='170519' first='Savannah' last='Parris'], Defender/Defensive Midfielder, Great Oak, Class of 2025   Parris is in the midst of what Nurisso went through, and that is dealing with a devastating knee injury. As an uncommitted junior, it's simply a hard pill to swallow. Parris is remaining positive and is going to work harder than ever, as the Great Oak High and Murrieta Soccer Academy 06 player will be back stronger than before. Before getting hurt, she was becoming a very vocal player and helped act as the eyes for her teammates when they couldn't. She plays as an outside defender or as a No. 6. Parris is going to focus on getting stronger physically while looking to prevent new injuries. She's going to come back and focus on utilizing space, continuing to be a great slide tackler, and also read the whole field in order to showcase all of her skills. She plays long balls well, can play a short pass and can dribble with speed. She's an all-around stud.   [player_tooltip player_id='135962' first='Kylie' last='Wilkins'], Forward/Outside Defender, Temecula Valley, Class of 2025   Wilkins plays at Temecula Valley High, a great program, and plays club at Murrieta Soccer Academy on the 2007 GA team. She's a wide player, as she can play as a forward or an outside back. She's very versatile. This was her first year at Temecula Valley and found her speed could help her make the transition and to make an impact on her new team. She showed great patience on the ball, and was a very persistent player. She makes quick decisions. Making quick decisions allows her to set up her teammates with a well-placed, textured ball to create scoring opportunities. She continues to improve her technique as an outside back, sharpening her 1v1 skills while getting stronger on the ball. Wilkins recently committed to Abilene Christian as she found her home for post-high school.
