Canoga Park’s Randy Uzoma is turning heads

Everywhere Randy Uzoma goes this summer, he makes an impression. The Canoga Park senior receiver was considered the fastest athlete at a USC camp last week.

On Friday at the Conejo Valley seven-on-seven passing tournament, opposing coaches raved about his athleticism.

“He’s a legit Division I guy,” Alemany Coach Dean Herrington said.

Last season, Uzoma returned five kickoffs for touchdowns. He and junior quarterback Fabian Alomar will form a potent one-two punch this fall that could propel the Hunters into contention for a City Section Division II championship. They haven’t won a City title since 1981.

What’s good about Canoga Park is that Coach Ivan Moreno isn’t afraid to let the players face strong competition this summer. Early on, they were getting outmanned, but Uzoma started to make some catches, and Alomar gained confidence.

“We’ll get better,” Moreno promised.

The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Uzoma has a 3.7 grade-point average and wants to study medicine. He has scholarship offers from Air Force, San Jose State, Nevada and Idaho. More offers are expected the way he keeps impressing people with his speed and agility.

Two-sport athlete

It’s the dilemma for all two-sport athletes. What sport do you choose to focus on during the summer?

Corey Sims of Alemany is being pulled in different directions. He’s a standout receiver for the football team and an All-CIF outfielder for the baseball team.

He left Saturday for baseball commitments that include trips to North Carolina and Georgia.

Recruiters still don’t know whether he’s better in football or baseball, so keeping his options open is probably the best strategy.

Alemany won the Conejo Valley tournament championship on Saturday after beating Westlake Village Oaks Christian, 32-6, in the final.

Potential for injury

Players who attend camps or combines can be injured, and that happened to Malik Cyphers, a sophomore defensive back who transferred from Narbonne to Oaks Christian.

He suffered a partial tear of a liegament in his knee during a camp last weekend at UCLA. He could be sidelined two to six weeks.

Happy Bruin

Gardena Serra Coach Scott Altenberg, a UCLA grad, has been receiving grief from his Bruins friends every time one of his players ends up at USC. The Trojans have taken away Robert Woods, George Farmer and Marqise Lee in recent years.

So Altenberg should be feeling good that his senior cornerback, Raymond Ford, has committed to UCLA.

As a freshman, Ford intercepted a pass thrown by Santa Ana Mater Dei quarterback Matt Barkley, now at USC.

“That would feel good to do it again,” Ford said.
