Rising 2026 California recruit Trent Mosley scores 6 TDs, leads Santa Margarita to wild 51-45 win over Bishop Amat

Trent Mosley's recruitment is on the rise, as is his team Santa Margarita's status in the state and Southern Section rankings.
Less than a week after accounting for four touchdowns in an impressive win at Central Section power Liberty, Mosley scored six touchdowns Thursday in an improbable 51-45 win at Bishop Amat.
That's 10 touchdowns in less than a week.
He turned a short, John Gazzaniga pass into a 49-yard catch and run midway through the third quarter to give Santa Margarita its first lead, 36-29. Amat, which once led 29-8, immediately responded as Frankie Villalbazo connected with Talen O'Dell on a 64-yard touchdown to tie the game at 36-36.
Mosley finished off a 90-yard drive with his fifth TD, a 1-yard run to go up for good, 43-36 with 2:45 left in the third. Mosley all but sealed it with his sixth score, a 35-yard catch and run and he caught a two-point conversion, making it 51-36 with 11:38 left.
Mosley hasn't been given a recruiting ranking yet by 247Sports, but the 5-foot-10, 175-pounder already has 11 college offers, including Michigan, Notre Dame, Oregon, Stanford, USC and Texas A&M.
He scored four touchdowns — two rushing and two receiving — in a 34-14 win at Liberty on Friday.
Gazzaniga finished with 371 yards passing and four touchdowns, and Amat's Villalbazo added 301 yards passing and four touchdowns, according to Fred J. Robledo.
Final: Santa Margarita 51, Bishop Amat 45.
