Sharma, who plays on both sides of the line at Folsom, is seen as a late bloomer as a recruit, but has still accrued more than 20 offers. He visited Washington (May 11), Texas (June 7), Oregon (June 14) and Alabama (21) before making his decision.

Folsom has won 5 of the last 6 CIF Class 1A state football championships, and helped the Bulldogs (13-2) beat St. Bonaventure in the 1A title last December as a junior.
