The top seven players in this region could surprise Class 2A this season.
Trystan Tapia | 6-0 DT | Mars Hill Bible
Tapia is a terrific defensive tackle that has two years of school left. However, he has already made his impact known on the field.
He is great at getting off blocks and pressuring the backfield. But he can also move past his blocker to get tackles in the running game.
Austin Mitchell | 5-10 RB, CB | Colbert County
Mitchell is a shifty running back that has quick speed and great versatility on the field.
He can shed defenders and gain extra yards or take it down the sideline to the endzone in a flash.
James Jones | 6-0 WR, DB | Hatton
Jones is a talented receiver that can elevate for the catch.
He is quick off the line of scrimmage and can win 50/50 battles against defenders while making acrobatic catches.
Jack Traffenstedt | 5-11 QB, OLB | Lexington
Traddenstedt is a sensational quarterback that makes all the right reads.
He can zip the ball out of his hand but can also make the defense pay when getting pressure by scrambling out of the pocket for solid gains. He has a strong arm and can let it fly in the deep attack.
Elijah Luster | 6–1 FS | Red Bay
Luster is a terrific secondary player that can draw receivers to him mid route and disrupt the catch. He has a high football IQ and is great at stepping into the route and intercepting passes.
When he isn’t in coverage, Luster can make tackles anywhere on the field.
Jamarion Adams | 5-10 RB, OLB | Sheffield
Adams is a great running back that has great field vision and strength.
He can power past defenders on his long runs to gain solid yards while breaking tackles. When he gets into the open field, Adams is tough to stop.
Dakota Nolen | 6-1 TE | Tharptown
Nolen is a great tight end that can be used in the blocking game for the pass and run. He can open up lanes for the running game by taking down defenders and leading for his tailback.
In the pass catching game, Nolen is a solid receiver that has great hands and can power his way past defenders to gain crucial yards.
