Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco junior quarterback DJ Uiagalelei recently cut his list down to seven.

Uiagalelei is the top rated quarterback in the country and rated the No. 7 player overall in the 247Sports Composite. He had a huge junior season throwing for 3,666 yards and 48 touchdowns and rushed for another 312 yards and six more scores.

The 6-4, 240 pound signal caller is one of the best pure throwers of the football we have seen in the last decade. He has generational arm strength and we’ve seen him throw a ball over 80 yards but his accuracy to all three levels, his touch and his ball placement are even more impressive in our eyes.

He’s also a plus athlete, capable of taking off and running for big yards at any point in a game. He’s a tremendous teammate and leader and has the kind of up upside and potential you rarely see. He’s also MLB prospect in baseball and will have a big decision to make following his senior year.

As for what college Uiagalelei will choose, the seven schools who made the cut for Uiagalelei included Alabama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon plus Mt. Sac, a local Junior College that two of his uncles coached at.

Handicapping this race, Clemson and Oregon are the two schools drawing the most buzz. He has already visited both schools multiple times and been to a game at each school as well. Oregon was on him early and Uiagalelei has a very good relationship with the coaching staff and several players and commits headed to Eugene.

From talking with Uiagalelei multiple times, the school he gushed the most about following a visit was after checking out Clemson this summer. Uiagalelei raved about the culture, the humility of the players and the spiritual connection with the coaching staff.

LSU is an interesting fit here because they already have a quality quarterback in TJ Finley but are recruiting Uiagalelei hard. He just attended a recent Tigers practice and is close with ’20 DB commit Elias Ricks who committed to LSU on Christmas Day.

Uiagalelei visited Alabama and Georgia the same week he visited Clemson over the summer and gave both schools high marks. We could see the quarterback visiting both schools again this spring and spending more time then he was able to over the summer.

The talented quarterback has yet to visit Oklahoma but the Braves run a similar offense and he would fit in really well with the Sooners scheme. Uiagalelei has talked about visiting the Sooners in the past and will likely check them out this spring before making a decision.

As for a timeframe for making a decision, Uiagalelei has never really committed to a certain time except to say it would likely be before his senior year. There was some buzz he could make a quick decision after his recent visit to Clemson but we know Uiagalelei is focusing on baseball right now and if he does indeed take more trips, we can’t see a decision coming from him until later in the summer.
