California 2025's staying on the West Coast

Last week a group of boys from the 2025 class heading to Big Ten schools, which included some west coast schools, was featured. This time we look at other Division I commits who are staying on the west coast.   [player_tooltip player_id='79203' first='Cole' last='Harris'], Central Defender, Strikers FC   Harris is heading to play at UC Santa Barbara. He is a center back that looks like a forward, athletically and technically. He has tremendous speed, power and balance. He can carry, he can pass and he likes to push. He is very dangerous on headers. However, he's just as good as a defender, which has led him to this spot. He's great in the air, he's fast, he's physical and he shows great anticipation.   [player_tooltip player_id='54735' first='Oliver' last='Hernandez'], Midfielder, San Jose Earthquakes   A versatile midfielder with great all-around skills, Hernandez is heading to Corvallis to play at Oregon State. The Beavers are getting an active midfielder who covers a lot of ground, shows how dynamic he is in how he can function in many capacities, including ball-winning and distribution. He is a presence in the midfield, he anticipates well and shows good technical skills and tactical awareness.   [player_tooltip player_id='54756' first='Ethan' last='Martinez'], Defensive Midfielder, Breakers FC   Martinez is a No. 6, who has the ability to play as a No. 10, and he is heading Santa Clara University. He's a player that can spray balls all over the pitch, and he does so with accuracy and with pace. He plays a very beautiful ball to the wide areas, doing so decisively. His ability to move the ball quickly is key in helping his team move forward. He's a disruptive force as a defender in the middle of the pitch as he is instinctive and strong.   [player_tooltip player_id='79470' first='Noe' last='Morales'], Midfielders, Legends FC   Morales will be playing at Cal next year, taking his talents up to the Bay Area. Morales displays an advanced understanding of the game, seemingly playing chess while others are playing checkers. He's incredibly bright, instinctive and usually ahead of the curve. He makes smart decisions, is calm and patient and shows advanced skills on the ball.   [player_tooltip player_id='8527' first='Ricky' last='Moreno'], Attacking Midfielder, LA Galaxy   If you saw Moreno hit a ball with his right foot, you would think he was right-foot dominant. That's how good he is with that foot. But then when you see him hit it with his left, you truly understand a player who can use both feet. His left-footed shot is next level. It's powerful, it's fast and he snaps it off quickly. He's got tremendous ball skills and the ability to navigate traffic. He makes great runs from the No. 10 spot and seems to always occupy the right space. He is heading to the University of San Diego.   [player_tooltip player_id='6922' first='Adriano' last='Samayoa'], Forward, LAFC   Samayoa is a very gifted wide forward heading to play at the University of Portland. He is ridiculously talented on the ball. He can do what most players at his position can do, but do it better, and he can also pull off the outrageous or outlandish ball flip over a defender and run onto it on the other side. His balance and power when on the ball is truly elite as he can keep possession under duress from multiple players. He has great speed to go with his great touch, and his pure ability make him a dangerous creator and playmaker.
