Which high schools produce the most Pac-12 football players - 2015 edition

Juniperro Serra produces the most Pac-12 football players.

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

A couple of years ago I did an article about which high schools produced the most Pac-12 football players. As time passed I was interested in seeing in how the landscape of high school alma matters in the Pac-12 have changed.

So, two years later, here are the high schools that produce the most current Pac-12 football players.

*I used each school's official site roster and added in the high school signees not yet enrolled and any known transfers not yet listed. Also, note that these numbers include walk-ons.

1. Juniperro Serra (Gardena, CA) - 15 players

Current stars - Adoree Jackson CB USC

Former stars - Deon Figures, Marqise Lee, Paul Richardson, Robert Woods

2016 Stars - DE Oluwole Betiku, ATH Brandon Burton, S C.J. Pollard

Serra has long been a USC factory and continues to pump out big time recruits every year. It seems like they have a five-star and a couple four-star prospects in each class and they usually stay local.

2. Bellevue, WA - 13 players

Current stars - Budda Baker S Washington, Myles Jack LB UCLA

Former stars - David DeCastro

2016 Stars - CB Isaiah Gilchrist

This was a bit of a surprise, but it shouldn't be. Bellevue has long been a powerhouse up in the Northwest and have been loading up Pac-12 schools with talent in recent years.

Tied - 3 - Loyola (Los Angeles) - 12 players

Former stars - Anthony Barr, Chris Conte, Danny Farmer, Matt Ware

2016 Stars - CB David Long

Loyola was the top school when we last did this list, but the historical Los Angeles athlete factory got jumped by a couple schools this time around.

Tied - 3- St. John Bosco (Bellflower, CA ) - 12 players

Former stars - Todd Husak, Keith Price

2016 Stars - RB Sean McGrew

Bosco sent about 12 guys to the Pac-12 in one year a couple of classes ago. Watch for Class of 2015 QB Josh Rosen to turn into a star at UCLA.

5. Upland, CA - 11 players

Current stars - Kenny Lawler WR Cal

Upland has quietly turned into a Pac-12 factory. It hasn't produced a large amount of huge stars or anything, but the school is regularly starting to produce solid players.

Tied - 6 - Centennial (Corona, CA) - 10 players

Former stars - Vontaze Burfict, Taylor Martinez, Matt Scott, Will Sutton

2016 stars - WR Javon McKinley

Arizona State fans are very familiar with Centennial as they have mined the school for a ton of talent, but they aren't the only school as the Centennial has been a big Pac-12 hub as of late.

Tied - 6 - Long Beach Polytechnic - 10 players

Current stars - Juju Smith WR USC

Formers stars - Darnell Bing, Jurrell Casey, DeSean Jackson, Winston Justice, Kareem Kelly, Marcedes Lewis, Willie McGinist, Samie Parker, Ken-Yon Rambo, Manuel Wright

2016 stars - CB Jack Jones

The most famous high school out west is still loading up Pac-12 schools with talent and probably will be for a long, long time.

Tied - 6 - Punahou School (Honolulu) - 10 players

Current stars - DeForest Buckner DE Oregon

Former stars - Manti Te'o LB Notre Dame

Punahou has replaced Saint Louis as the go-to Hawaii powerhouse for Pac-12 talent.

Tied - 10 - Mater Dei (Santa Ana, CA) - 9 players

Former stars - Matt Barkley, Colt Brennan, Matt Grootegood, Khaled Holmes, Matt Leinart

2016 stars - LB Curtis Robinson, G Frank Martin

A classic Pac-12 pipeline, Mater Dei has been a valuable school for USC for a long time.

Tied - 10 - Oaks Christian (Westlake Village, CA) - 9 players

Current stars - Ishmael Adams CB UCLA, Jordan Payton WR UCLA

Former stars - Cassius Marsh

2016 stars - ATH Michael Pittman

This new school has quickly becoming one of the best prospect factories in the nation. I wouldn't be surprised if this school ends up taking the top spot in a few years.

Mission Viejo, CA

St. Bonaventure (Ventura, CA)
