Ja’Quez Harvey, a 6-foot-4, 245-pound junior from Locke, will be trying to make an impact on both sides of the ball this season, playing quarterback and defensive end for the Saints.

He’s part of a strong group of City Section defensive linemen:

Jordan Berry of Narbonne is a 300-pound LSU commit. Anthony Ruvalcaba of Garfield had 18 sacks as a junior. Defensive end Ivan Gomez of Bell is a returning all-leaguer. Birmingham’s Carlos Rivera is a 260-pound sophomore who could be one of the best in school history before he graduates.

Junior Korey Foreman of Corona Centennial is on his way to becoming a national recruit following a standout sophomore season. He’s a defensive end who will challenge every tackle he faces.
