2) WR's Davon Dunn, Josh Harper and QB Kelly O' Brien all have fathers who played in the NFL. Dunn is the son of seven-year NFL veteran wideout David Dunn, Harper's father is former 49ers linebacker Willie Harper and O' Brien is the son of former Jets QB Ken O' Brien.
3) Along with Kelly O' Brien, the Bulldogs have at least between five to eight players that have played the QB position at one tme in high school. One of them is Modesto Christian's Isaiah Burse, who combined for 53 touchdowns and nearly 3,500 total yards from scrimmage at the QB position during his senior year.
4) Wide receiver's Victor Dean and Davon Dunn not only come from Lincoln High School down in San Diego, they also come from the same campus that produced former Bulldog standout Dwayne Wright and NFL hall-of-famer Marcus Allen.
5) Harper and Stockton QB Marcus McDade were high school teammates at St. Mary's.

Darr won the state high school track meet in the shot put (62', 1.25") and discuss (192'-0") as a junior at Frontier High School in Bakersfield.
