About Isaia

“Hello Coaches. I'm Isaia Vandermade, a Class of 2027 lineman who competes for Santa Margarita Catholic HS in Orange County, Calif. I'm in my first year at SM after earning the first-team All-State Sophomore Team and being Sophomore Player of the Year and first-team All-West Catholic Athletic League last season (2024) at St. Ignatius Prep in San Francisco. I came to SM to play with and against the best -- and to be coached by the best. Football really matters to me and I put in the time and effort to be good. On defense, I'm tough to block -- my coaches say "slippery" because I slip past people by using my quickness and hand strength. I have instincts and football smarts that put me in the best position to make a play. And I HIT. If you're interested, lets talk!Hello Coaches.
