- East Bay Prep Corner
25 Players to Watch
By Jimmy Durkin
Thursday, September 2nd, 2010 at 9:08 am in East Bay Football.
Since I know there was a lot of interest in this list, I figured I would post it. It’s always a hard list to put together because it’s asking us to predict who will have great seasons, which isn’t always easy. A lot of very good players aren’t on the list. Every year we have guys who don’t make this list but end up having outstanding seasons. Two years ago, Encinal’s Jonathan Brown was a notable omission and he later was named East Bay Player of the Year so this certainly isn’t a comprehensive list of the players who will be the best in the area, but it’s a good start. Enjoy.
Jonathan Allen
Encinal, RB/LB
Allen will look to build off a solid junior season when he led the Jets’ balanced attack with 951 rushing yards and help Encinal get back to a third straight NCS Division III title game.
George Atkinson III
Granada, RB/DB
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound speedster is one of the East Bay’s hottest commodities in the recruiting game, with heavy interest from the likes of Alabama, USC, Notre Dame, Oregon, Cal and Miami.
Josh Atkinson
Granada, RB/DB
The twin brother of George checks in at 6-foot, 180, but possesses the same type of lightning speed and is generating a similar buzz on the recruiting trail.
Albert Bell
James Logan, LB
A second-team All-East Bay pick last year, the 6-foot, 190-pound Bell will lead a strong linebacking unit for the defending MVAL champions.
Javen Butler
Pittsburg, DB
After a junior season spent filling in at both safety and cornerback, Butler should emerge as one of the area’s best pure defensive backs as a senior.
Michael Cunningham II
Alameda, RB
Cunningham was one of the East Bay’s top rushers last year with 1,413 yards and is a big reason the Hornets believe they can contend in the ACCAL.
Travis Feeney
Pinole Valley, LB
A 6-foot-3, 200-pound athlete who can play anywhere from the defensive line to safety, Feeney already has committed to Arizona. He’ll lead a Spartans defense tasked with bringing an ACCAL title back to Jerry Deuker Stadium.
Roydon Fonua
Fremont, OL/DL
A monster at 6-foot-4, 290 pounds, Fonua is generating plenty of Pac-10 interest and will have a big role in the success of the defending Silver Bowl champions.
Isaiah Henderson
Berkeley, OL
Henderson was a first-team All-East Bay pick last year. The 6-foot-4, 295-pound offensive tackle with a bright future enters his third season as a starter for the Yellowjackets.
Bart Houston
De La Salle, QB
As a sophomore, Houston learned on the job and led the Spartans to the CIF Open Division title. This year, he enters as a highly recruited junior hoping to get his team back to the state title game.
Jared Leaf
Alhambra, RB/LB
Leaf averaged over 8 yards a carry as the second option in Alhambra’s running game last year. This year, the burly senior will carry the load in the backfield and also lead the defense from his spot at linebacker.
Ricky Lloyd
Concord, QB
Lloyd ranked third in the East Bay in passing yards last season, throwing for 2,449 yards and 32 touchdowns in his junior campaign. With a scholarship to Southern Mississippi already locked up, he’ll look to bring the Minutemen another DVAL title.
Lyonel Louis
El Cerrito, LB
A physical force in the middle of El Cerrito’s defense, Louis received interest from Pac-10 schools over the summer. He’ll look to build on a solid junior season and lead the Gauchos to the ACCAL title.
Bryce McGovern
Monte Vista, WR/DB
McGovern returns after a record-setting junior season with a Northern California-record 106 catches and a state-record 2,063 yards. He also had 17 touchdowns and was a first-team All-East Bay pick.
Julius Mozee
Pittsburg, QB
Mozee threw for 1,828 yards and 21 touchdowns in leading the Pirates to the NCS Division I championship game last year. This season, he’ll be a senior leader on a team with high expectations.
Chris Musni
San Leandro, QB
Musni was among the East Bay’s most efficient quarterbacks as a junior, throwing for 1,568 yards and 23 touchdowns against just eight interceptions. He’ll look to build on that and help the Pirates compete for another HAAL title.
Hardy Nickerson Jr.
Bishop O’Dowd, LB
The son of the former NFL and Cal star and new Dragons coach Hardy Nickerson comes off a sophomore season in which he was a first-team All-HAAL linebacker. He’s got the talent and pedigree to be among the area’s top defensive players.
Marcus Peters
McClymonds, WR/DB
Peters already has received numerous offers, including several from the Pac-10, and is ranked the No. 13 recruit in Northern California by Rivals. He was first-team All-City as a receiver but should make his biggest impact defensively.
Blake Renaud
De La Salle, LB/TE
The defending East Bay Defensive Player of the Year returns to his middle linebacker spot for this season after committing to Boise State in the offseason. An outwardly quiet but internally forceful leader, Renaud again will captain the Spartans defense.
Cameron Rowland
Foothill, WR/DB
Rowland enjoyed a phenomenal junior season, hauling in 59 passes for 897 yards and eight touchdowns in 2009. This year, he’ll be counted on to help a new quarterback take control of the Falcons offense.
Freddie Tagaloa
Salesian, OL/DL
The 6-foot-8, 300-pound junior has been on the radar of college coaches since his freshman year and again will anchor the line for a Salesian team in search of its ninth straight BFL title.
Tavita Taito
Deer Valley, DL
Highly recruited from the beginning of his sophomore season, Taito embarks on his junior year with hopes of helping the Wolverines win another BVAL championship.
Marquis Waters
Las Lomas, RB/DB
Waters finished the 2009 regular season tied with Berkeley’s Rickey Galvin as the East Bay’s scoring leader, finding the end zone 23 times as a junior. He returns this year as one of the region’s unquestioned top rushers.
Jacob Welter
Monte Vista, OL
Already a mammoth anchor on the Mustangs offensive line, Welter orally committed to Ohio over the summer. At 6-foot-5, 291 pounds, he’ll be counted on to protect the quarterback in Monte Vista’s pass-oriented offense.
Dylan Wynn
De La Salle, OL/DL
One of the most intense competitors in the area, Wynn was a first-team All-East Bay selection on both the offensive and defensive lines in 2009. He already has accepted a scholarship offer to Oregon State.

September 2nd, 2010 at 12:59 pm
How come the Haal def of player of the year not on this list ?? Micah McMurry DE/LB
Don Pride !!!
September 2nd, 2010 at 1:21 pm
Not trying to start nothing JB but how much did that really mean anything in the HAAL last year that league was seriously down. Arroyo’s coach last year may have just come into the All-League metting & pumped one guy & one guy only & they made him the defensive player of the year. I’ve heard of that happening before.
September 2nd, 2010 at 1:30 pm
I understand that but there should be no one on the list then because i watch all the haal games last year and no one stood out. But if you look at the SL vs Arroyo tape Micah got off.
Don Pride !!!
September 2nd, 2010 at 1:58 pm
hardy nickerson jr.? come on i went to few bod games never noticed him. atkinson boys got speed but the next time they run hard n the hole an lower a shoulder will be there first not as physical as papa!
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:00 pm
Josh Morrow EHS
Mustafa Whitehead EHS
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:03 pm
Josh Morrow 6’7 345 OL/DL EHS
Mustafa Whitehead 6’3 250 OL/DL EHS
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:08 pm
the H.A.A.L.
get no respect some one has to win a quality game or at least a play-off win. Before someone take notice.
If SAN LEANDRO BETS THE BELLS and ARROYO beats logan
we will all change our tune until then the Haal is a cake walk league. Hope the new coaching makes a difference.
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:17 pm
jb don, i thought i saw an article that mentinoned micah. just cause you aren’t on this list doesn’t mean they’re not top players. Some stuff on here is just opinion. Just cause you’re in a weak league or haven’t played certain teams doesn’t mean that player doesn’t have the talent. Nickerson supposedly did good at some camps this summer so that could be a reason he’s one of the player’s to “watch”
September 2nd, 2010 at 2:26 pm
Hardy Nickerson Jr.? Wow! Did his father lobby for his son to be in the paper?
How good is Lyonel Louis from EC? The only players I can remember standing out on that team last year was A.Williams and Isac Goins.
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Why no DeAndre Carter from washington high Mr. Durkin?
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:56 pm
I’m not going to get into the specific reason Carter wasn’t selected. I’ll only say he was heavily considered and at one point slated to be on the list, but something led us to have to go elsewhere. That’s as far as I’ll go.
September 2nd, 2010 at 8:59 pm
JB, Jon Brown didn’t make their list in 2008 either.
September 2nd, 2010 at 10:39 pm
Durkin you have to explain yourself. Deandre Carter is a big time receiver as evidenced by that cal high games last year. I think the ebal mval matchup will actually be interesting this year. There us no reason to leave him off the list simply because he’s from the mval.
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:50 am
O yea Mark Hardin OL/DL from Berkeley, and Jacai DeNevau LB Berkeley, Keir Abrams FB/LB Berkeley, Big Wendell Taise from Mack.
September 3rd, 2010 at 2:29 pm
Devyn Parsons QB from Liberty is a dual threat this year. He will be a threat to his opponets. He is fast on the move and can throw to his targets on the run. Keep an eye on him.
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:05 pm
Carter being from the MVAL has nothing to do with his omission. He was slated to be on the team, but after speaking with his coach, a mutual decision was made to pull him off. It had nothing to do with how good of a player he is. He’s certainly one of the top players in the area and I look forward to seeing him tomorrow against Cal.
September 3rd, 2010 at 11:31 pm
Joe ur soooo wrong about that Devyn Parsons
September 4th, 2010 at 12:15 am
What? Why would the coach not want him on the team?
September 4th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
BVAL FAN, what makes you say that? Must have missed last nights game! Maybe YOU are wrong. Liberty beat Clayton Valley hands down and Devyn Parsons did a great job delivering and running the ball. Did you see the game or are you just a hater of Liberty.
September 7th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
After Friday Night Lights at Northgate you may want to add QB Alex Cost
September 7th, 2010 at 1:17 pm
the coach wanted him on the team…just leave it alone…everyone knows he is one of the top 25 players in the east bay this year…he will get his due at the end of the year if he does what he is capable of, which means a lot more than just being handed an award at the beginning of the year…
he is a good kid and great player and any college will be lucky to have him in the future…
September 7th, 2010 at 1:44 pm
i can see adding kids who one might feel shoulda been selected, but I don’t see any purpose in bashing someone who was selected. let them have their moment.
September 7th, 2010 at 9:17 pm
I would like to thank the writers who selected my son Michael Cunningham II to this list. After long discussions over the weekend my son has decided to leave the game of football behind and concentrate on academics. His grades slipped last semester and he felt that football took up too much time for him to achieve the academic level he felt he needed to succeed. This was definately a shock to me as his father not coach. I always felt he had a bright future on the grid iron; but, i’m extremely proud that he put academics first. The game will be there , school may not. I will continue to coach at Alameda, Ihave made a committment to that program that I plan to uphold this season.Thanks to all that supported my son.
September 7th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
Turn in your coach’s card, real coaches are not proud of quitting. The fact that your son wasted everyone’s time is nothing to be proud of.If you’re gonna quit, do it before the season. If you’re gonna lie and say it’s to concentrate on grades that’s the biggest BS line thrown out there. Don’t be so gullable. It’s embarassing when everyone else can see it & you can’t.
Football won’t always be there. The fact that he quit on his team right before the season will read everywhere he walks. When they see him they will think quitter. Hope he gets straight A’s from here because that would make it remotely believable. Good luck, Coach Quitter.
P.S. – They put this quitter in the top 25???
September 7th, 2010 at 11:11 pm
WOW, shocking! i wish the best for that young man, GOd bless.. there goes alamedas season
September 7th, 2010 at 11:44 pm
Way to hold the program together Rochlin. How does this effect his scholarship aspirations?
September 8th, 2010 at 6:48 am
WOW, that’s unfortunate I was really looking foward to seeing the young man play. Well this changes my plans to go to the BOD vs. Alameda game. Were his grades really bad or does he have Ivy league aspirations? Either way he was a big factor in their offense, 1400+ yards is going to be hard to replace.
September 8th, 2010 at 6:55 am
Quitting on your team after the first game?
The Coach/Father announces it on a newspaper blog?
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Reason #1 not to have parents coaching their kids past youth football. Cunningham will not get a football scholarship at the end of this season. Maybe a Drama trophy, but no college will touch a quitter, he better go back. Even more disturbing is that his father is proud of the decision. WOW!!!!!
September 8th, 2010 at 8:20 am
Wow! Good luck to you. I though playing sports helped your grades because it made you have to do your work in order to play? But I guess in some cases no. That hurts Alameda and all there chances went out the window.
September 8th, 2010 at 8:29 am
Shocking news… I wish the best for the young man. Hope he stays in the wt. room to prepare for football in his future. Hope he is looking that far down the road. He is very talented.
No program can rely on just one player. So who is up next. Heard there is a couple prospects on the JV team. Shouldnt hurt them too bad. Alameda has close to 130 players on the roster.
September 8th, 2010 at 8:30 am
he quit because alameda is trash. he shoulda stayed at encinal where he woulda been a winner
September 8th, 2010 at 8:33 am
I mean in their program
September 8th, 2010 at 8:35 am
quit pop warner, pirates, quit Encinal cuz he was scared of Watkins, Sashington, Owens, Allen, Okamura, quit AHS too cuz EHS is around the corner
September 8th, 2010 at 8:53 am
Didnt he quit EHS football too. They said he had asthma right?
So Harvell is the starter now I assume. He should be otherwise why do they have him back there. Will Harvel quit if he dont get the “ROCK”.
Will Baccupo quit? He is also a EHS quitter. Actually, I hear he plans to play that little guitar thing that he carries around the school.
Didn’t they pay like $400 – $500 just to play football and a couple of camps. Just not worth it.
September 8th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Regarding a Kid who quit football -
1. As one of the winningest coaches and most highly loved and respected coaches in all of College football told me a couple of years ago at their clinic. This is about HIGH SCHOOl football and NOBODY cares about it except a pocket of people nearby and the family. The college coaches Do Not Care, they do NOT care about high school football, all they care about is winning and keeping their own jobs…NOT my words but HIS. If a blue chipper high schooler blows out his ACL, oh well, best of luck to that kid and move onto the next one.
2. The Alameda head coach is NOT at all responsible ever or at all for what a kid does or does not do in the Class Room. ONLY that kid and his parents or guardian are. End of story.
3. This hurts Alameda but the Number 2 running back must be thrilled about it.
September 8th, 2010 at 8:59 am
Thanks for all your responses some of you are dumber than I thought. He no longer has passion for the game, He wants to improve AND concentrate on academics and academics only. He’s not relying on football for a future. If you know my son you know he is a bright young man who made teenage mistakes. For all of you bashing him its easy to say all of you were probably cut from a pop warner program. As for the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree you know where I am. Damn right I’m proud , because football is not his future, he made this decision, his success will be beyond the gridiron, obviously you can’t understand that, maybe if I draw pictures for you , you will get what I’m saying.
September 8th, 2010 at 9:01 am
Good luck to your son Island02 I hope he has a happy and productive life…
September 8th, 2010 at 9:08 am
I just don’t see how you let your son quit when you said yourself that “I have made a committment to that program that I plan to uphold this season” why wouldn’t you encourage your son to do the same thing? Didnt he make the same committment to his teammates? Fact is that he quit and to say he is going to only concentrate on his grades is BS. Something else went into that decision
September 8th, 2010 at 10:08 am
Island02 bless you and your son for sharing your story. It must have have been a very difficult decision for your son. Not only is he an extremely talented player, his fathers the coach. He is a high school student first and a football player second. It’s good to see a young man wiser beyond his years actually put his academic success at the forefront. Your son should know in the days to come he will be applauded for his decision.
September 8th, 2010 at 10:11 am
well at least we know why encinal is so good with all of those players quitting and transferring to alameda. the coaches at EHS must have intense practices and conditioning to scare off players to the other side of the island.
September 8th, 2010 at 11:41 am
BOD is applauding him right now The Fan…
September 8th, 2010 at 11:44 am
Killer D,
Does AHS lose to EC and Richmond now or can their full back be the answer?
September 8th, 2010 at 12:06 pm
Thanks for sharing your story coach. Amazing all these internet cowards bad-mouth you and your son for a personal decision. They know where to find you but I guarantee they’ll continue to hide behind their keyboards.
They make me sick.
Good luck to you and your family. I hope your son is successful with academics. I’m certain as an adult he won’t be anonymously trashing kids on some blog.
September 8th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Mandown, Nothing else went into that decision, I didn’t let him quit, you can’t make a person play football. This decision was soley his, do you have kids? I may not always agree ;but I will always support my son. Mandown You are entitled to your opinions and I hold high respect for what you say on here. The decision wasn’t easy;but , he’ll be fine.
September 8th, 2010 at 12:07 pm
Island02, hats off to your son for putting his academics first. As a father myself I respect your decision to stand by your sons decision I know it wasnt an easy one for either of you. Because your son has your support, he will be successful with his journey in life. The people on here that bash you and your son, I hope they dont have a son playing football because they would force their sons to continue to play which you know as well as I do if their hearts are not in it they run the risk of getting injured or their team mates injured and hating football in the future. Good luck to you and your son.
September 8th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
While I have no problem with academics coming before football, it would have been more ideal for this decision to be made prior to the season, instead of during. The team is put in the position of having to adjust to losing its star running back. However, this is high school football, it isn’t like the young man had a contract and is breaking it. All the best to father and son.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:32 pm
island02 he’s not gonna pull a brett favre an unretire?
September 8th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
big loss for hornetnation but we’ll get thru it we are not a one man team. ruckman will rally us culllins will be a workhorse plus coach l defense will impose its will on our opponents. o’dowd will be the first to find out!
September 8th, 2010 at 1:51 pm
I did not quit football . From the get go I wasn’t even eligible to play . I had a 1.2, over the summer I had to work for one of my teachers to raise my grade up a whole letter grade just to become eligible for academic probation. I’m just someone who doesn’t believe in being able to participate in a privileged sport with a D average. What college would even want to offer me with that? So all the bashing, keep it coming. After talking to my father, teachers and peers I’m still playing. My team fully understands because we are a “family”, and that is what family is about. They have my back just like I would for them. In all, I will be playing football this season. I caused zero drama with this whole situation because like I said, we’re a family.
September 8th, 2010 at 1:52 pm
if he no longer has a passion for the game, then he is doing the right thing. if i had a teammate who didn’t have their heart into the game I would rather they not play even if they are the star player especially in a sport like football. look at singletary saying he respects what glen coffee did in saying that his heart just wasn’t in it anymore. nothing wrong with admitting. yes the timing is less than ideal and this is the star running back, but if he really is quitting for the reasons listed, then why bash him? it’s student-athlete not the other way around which seems to become the case more often these days. I have had teammates quit before for those reasons and guess what, I respected them even more for being able to say that they shouldn’t play because they just were not passionate about it anymore.
September 8th, 2010 at 2:04 pm
lets all be real its not like alameda was gonna win anything. league please berkeley & pinole are gonna get in that a$$! playoffs? can someone tell me the last time they won a playoff game? the kid didnt even play defense so they have to replace a tailback yes talented but im sure they have serviciable back-up so will see how the respond saturday.
September 8th, 2010 at 2:08 pm
wat is bod runnin on offense? r they believe’n cunningham is out or preparing it’s just a rumor?
September 8th, 2010 at 7:09 pm
On Bill Johnson’s comments on Blanton and Nightingale, both talented coaches. Salesian should move to the BSAL. On dodging Justin, both teams have played Justin in the past and beat them soundly. On St. Pat’s playing Berean Christian- wasn’t this the team that beat St. Mary’s a couple of years ago?
St. Pat’s had 2 opens several years back, tried to fill them with Cardinal Newman and Palma, both schools turned it down, why, a bigger program is not going to take a chance of an upset from a talented small school, they loose ranking, that came from both of those team’s coaches. St. Pat’s beat the heck out of a public school, Benica, 3 times their size, has played San Ramon and others in the past. I think Salesian could have played up a little with Javid Best, however it sure didn’t seem to hurt him.
September 8th, 2010 at 7:35 pm
CIF 100m champ 5th (best) time in nation and 2nd fastest time nationwide-HS seniors- 200m + all time bay area season TD and yardage opens a ton of doors…Jahvid would’ve had the same seven or eight BCS D1 offers even if he were playing for the beloved Dons at DA or Potter Valley.
September 8th, 2010 at 8:00 pm
Just wanted to put this out to everyone…Alameda has an EXTREMELY talented back up running back who want’s the ball. Cullins will open everyone’s eyes! Go Hornets!!
September 8th, 2010 at 8:22 pm
ch1012. best had offers EVERYwhere buddy, and he came in second with an stress fracture.. on a side note.
September 8th, 2010 at 8:52 pm
I heard Culluns just quit to concentrate on his skateboarding career.
September 8th, 2010 at 9:08 pm
Hey Ruckman just quit to concentrate on student government.
September 8th, 2010 at 9:09 pm
Coach Cunningham just quit to concentrate on blogging.
September 8th, 2010 at 9:14 pm
OMG! Coach Rochlin just quit to concentrate on his anger management issues.
September 8th, 2010 at 9:33 pm
This got caught up in the approval process since it was coming from a new user name and didn’t get posted right away so I think a lot of people missed it. But here’s a report of post No. 53.

September 8th, 2010 at 10:25 pm
there has been a misunderstanding between my son n myself. When he was explaining himself I took as if he were walking away from the game. He is not leaving alameda football my apologies for the misunderstanding. It was interesting to see the responses.
September 8th, 2010 at 10:43 pm
Renegades10 … anything you as the official DLS poser want to tell us about ballers not making grades or less than a 1.99 GPA for a one time waiver? Who is the player missing who made a diffrence… Just read the transcripts from todays LIVE chat ……. tick tock….tick tock… Note: to dval poster i know who you are NOT COOL!!
September 9th, 2010 at 1:24 am
If you are referring to who I think you are, he is sitting out the season and dealing with those issues. no waivers or anything. That’s all I am going to say about the particular persons situation and I will admit that I don’t have all the facts on it. i love it when people try and point out that DLS kids get these magical waivers, when they forget that Cameron Colvin who was an All-American WR in 2003 had to miss the first five games of the season due to academic ineligibility. He got his grades up when quarter report cards came out and he was able to play. The team is moving on and doing just fine for themselves.
As a note, yes I am a DLS supporter, I graduated from there. But I never consider myself the official poster or poser as you decided to write. I try to do my research and get all the facts on teams around the are rather then just ignorantly post for one squad. But keep the hating coming W/Fan. Nothing new to DLS.
September 9th, 2010 at 2:27 pm
seems like gamesmenship from island02 hoping o’dowd would think his son aint playin. dirty pool ol’man. please stop talkin scholarship cuz a 1.2 gpa aint gettin u no scholly. c u at the nearest juco. maybe it was a negotiating ploy maybe doesnt have to come 2 practice everyday now.
September 9th, 2010 at 2:42 pm
big joe ask blanton y he took marin catholic of his schedule same size catholic school? 48 & 55 pts to encinal the last 2 yrs come on i know encinal been good the last 2 seasons but if he’s as good as u say he is y have those games not been competitive? not sayin he shoulda won but atleast be in the game come 4th quarter he’s been gettin skinned by those jets!
September 9th, 2010 at 6:04 pm
Good point, program down last couple of years- however in 06 and 07 won 21 straight, destroyed the Jets in 06, beat Salesian soundly with Best and scheduled numerous playoff teams. I beleive he lost to MC in 08 20-00.
Marin Catholic is bigger than SPSV, they have only appx. 600. Not a good special teams coach, can coach defense and brought the Veer to SP. He’s produced several running backs over the yrs, 06 had 2 over 1800 yds apiece, 07 had 3 at 1000 plus, in the past had a couple of backs close to 2000 and one over 2000 yds.
1 NCS championship and several league titles. He’s there for his players. He’s also steady, makes playoffs almost every yr and averages 8-9 wins a season. He needs to work on the passing game more to open up that Veer like DLS does.
