I don’t think any player in Southern California has helped himself more after the first six weeks of the season than linebacker Keishawn Bierria of Narbonne.

Game after game, he makes an impact. And how many linebackers are capable of returning a punt 95 yards for a touchdown as Bierria did last week against Mater Dei?

He has several Pac-12 offers, but it’s only a matter of time before more college recruiters start lining up. His speed makes him a must-have player on defense.
