Jonah Sanchez '26 Recruiting Profile

Are you looking for a 2026 High School graduating class LB?  

I'm excited to continue the recruiting process and play college football.  Over the past couple of years I've continued to grow both mentally and physically and am looking forward to my last year of High School.  As a Sophomore I started on the JV team at WLB, but also played on the Varsity team (20% of the Varsity WLB and Special teams reps).  I played Varsity as a Junior.  I carry a 4.0 G.P.A., take AP/Honors classes and train 6 days a week, including 3 days a week at a Strength and Conditioning facility led by the current Mater Dei Strength and Conditioning/LB coach (nationally ranked football program).  

I'm happy to play any position to help our team win and am always a great teammate, regardless of the situation.  I'm extremely coachable and can play in any defensive system.  Prior to High school I was a RB, but mainly play WLB/MLB now.  I have also played a little TE, FB and S in the past.  I'm physical, have good strength (made the "900 lbs Club" as a Sophomore and “1,200 lbs Club” as a Jr. which I was 1 of 2 on our entire team) and have been working on my agility, speed and play recognition the past two years on Varsity.

Something that differentiates me is I'm a high character person.  I go to Church, attend weekly Bible study and am focused on being the best person I can be.  I have a lot of charisma, am strong and athletic (I also played forward on the basketball team through my Sophomore year) and know my best football years are ahead of me.  My tackle #s have been muted as I was playing behind a “4 Star” UCLA recruit my Sophomore and Junior years on Varsity, but have high expectations for my Senior year where we’re a top 20 CA and top 150 ranked team nationally. 

I look forward to talking to you soon.  Thank you for your consideration.
