Servite achieves rare feat with two alumni selected in first round of NFL draft
Many Southern California high school football programs have distinguished roll calls when it comes to alumni who have made it to the NFL, but one of those schools achieved something remarkable Thursday night. Servite became the first CIF Southern Section school in more than 30 years to have two former players selected in the first round of the same NFL draft, according to CalHi Sports and HSFA data. Defensive tackle Mason Graham was drafted at No. 5 by the Cleveland Browns and wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan was selected eighth overall by the Carolina Panthers. Advertisement The last Southern Section team to have two former players selected in the first round? Long Beach Poly in 1991, when Mark Carrier and Leonard Russell went No. 6 and No. 14, respectively. Long Beach Poly is the only school in California to achieve the feat twice, according to CalHi Sports.

Graham, The Times' high school player of the year in 2021, was an All-American at Michigan. McMillan was a star at Arizona. Advertisement Although the accomplishment is rare, there are a growing number of high schools with multiple former players taken in a single draft. IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) and Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) each had three players selected in the 2024 draft. Like Servite, IMG Academy also had two alumni selected in the first round last year with JC Latham (No. 7) and J.J. McCarthy (No. 10). Eric Sondheimer contributed to this report. Sign up for the L.A.
