Hey there! I'm glad to hear you want to continue playing football in college. California is home to some great colleges with strong football programs. Here's a list that should help you get started:

1. University of Southern California (USC): USC Trojans are recognized as one of the most successful college football teams in the country. Their many achievements include national championships, conference titles, and producing numerous Heisman Trophy winners.

2. Stanford University: The Stanford Cardinal consistently perform well in the competitive PAC-12 conference and have a history of bowl game appearances. Their program also emphasizes the balance between athletics and academics.

3. University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA): The UCLA Bruins are USC's crosstown rivals, and their games, known as the "Battle of Los Angeles," are highly anticipated events. They have a strong history of success in the PAC-12 conference as well.

4. University of California, Berkeley (Cal): The Cal Golden Bears are another competitive team in the PAC-12. They have a tradition of producing NFL talent and have an intense rivalry with Stanford known as the "Big Game."

5. San Diego State University (SDSU): The SDSU Aztecs play in the Mountain West Conference and have become a force on the West Coast. They've been consistently successful with a notable winning record over the past decade.

6. Fresno State University: Another strong football program in the Mountain West Conference, the Fresno State Bulldogs have a solid record of producing NFL talent and maintaining consistent success on the field.

These schools should give you a good starting point in your search for a football college in California. Keep in mind that playing college football can be highly competitive, so it's essential to maintain your academic performance and athletic abilities throughout your remaining high school years. Good luck on your journey!
