Uiagalelei is the only junior to be named a finalist, all of whom possess a 3.30 GPA or higher, and is currently the No. 1 overall player in the Class of 2020.
During the 2018 season, Uiagalelei passed for 3366 yards and 47 touchdowns, with only seven interceptions. He helped the Braves to a 13-1 overall record and a 5-0 mark in league play.
St. John Bosco was ranked No. 1 in the nation for most of the season before falling to Mater Dei in the CIF Southern Section Division 1 final.
