MATT BARKLEY
Mater Dei
QB
6-3, 230
Senior

Orange County has seen some outstanding quarterbacks, including three who went on to win Heisman Trophies and many others who played in the NFL. But none has been as noteworthy as Barkley going into a senior year. Barkley was a Trinity League player of the year, was the county offensive player of the year and was named Gatorade football player of the year and Gatorade athlete of the year – as a junior. He passed for a school-record 3,560 yards last season when he completed 214 of 340 passes (63 percent). Barkley is rated as the No. 1 recruit in the nation by many scouting publications and services, and committed to USC. The only mountain left to climb – a CIF-Southern Section championship.
