Orange County high school football has a reputation for producing standout tight ends. Hall of Fame tight end Tony Gonzalez, for example, played at Huntington Beach High. But one school has been working especially hard to extend the pipeline of prospects.

Look no further than Corona del Mar.

The Sea Kings had yet another tight end sign on National Signing Day on Wednesday as Sebastien Boydell made it official with Fresno State.

Boydell joins a legacy of Corona del Mar tight ends that includes fellow Class of 2025 signee Zach Giuliano, who signed with Stanford in December.

The program’s other tight ends the last few years include Scott Giuliano (Harvard), Mark Redman (Washington, San Diego State, Louisville), TaeVeon Le (Stanford) and Scott Truninger (Yale).

Boydell, who is 6-foot-5 and 220 pounds, said the tradition impacted his rise as a collegiate recruit.

“I’m super grateful and fortunate not just to be able get advice from guys playing at the next level but also to compete everyday with some of the best tight ends in the county,” he said Wednesday. “(It) definitely helped me get better so just super grateful to my teammates and my coaches.”

Boydell was a long-time Fresno State commit. He didn’t sign during the early period in December as the Bulldogs transitioned under new coach Matt Entz.

On Wednesday, Fresno State also signed Edison running back Julius Gillick, The Register’s offensive player of the year, and JSerra defensive back Elisha Canales.
