There will be talent at the skill positions, led by Matt Urquiza, a running back who had a solid junior campaign, but they will remain very young overall. Defensively, they will be led by Victor Rojas (DL), Greg Perea (DB), and Gerardo Avila (LB). California will need a number of players to develop quickly from the 8-1 JV team of 2007 in order to repeat as league champs.
