That Lions squad was led by a powerful running game that saw them ground and pound defenses along with playing opportunistic defense to put them back in the playoff picture. Look for the Lions to keep the momentum going and here are a few players that will help them get there:
ATH Trace Freeman – 2023
The senior was a standout for last years squad as he took a top leadership role on offense and defense. He was a workhorse in the backfield for the Lions along with being a defensive thumper at linebacker. One of the top overall football players on the field every game Freeman does his damage on both sides. This should be a phenomenal year for the do it all senior.
RB Parker Rushton – 2023
One of the top returning rushers in the SIC, Ruston ran over, and around many of the best teams on his way to a 1000 yard season as the feature back for the Lions. As a senior I would not be surprised if he puts together another 1000 yard season or more as he combines his bruising style with good open field speed. Rushton might be the top dawg when it comes to the end of the season.
DL Trevor McKenna – 2024
One of many sophomores to play for the Lions last year McKenna has a high motor that allows him to make an impact on the defensive front seven. With good length his is able to create separation at the point of attack and has good speed in order to bend the edge. Look for McKenna to show up on everyone’s scouting report as a player to watch out for this year.
QB Korbin McCarney – 2023
The Senior signal caller is back for the Lions after throwing for more than 1800 yards last year. Look for him to drastically improve his decision making this year as he will be more comfortable under center for the Lions. He does a lot of his damage on short quick throws and good play action fakes. Im expecting him to have a 2000 yard season under center for the Lions this year.
Players to Watch:
LB Henry Hill – 2023
WR Jacob Haley – 2023
DB Jevon Nelson – 2024
DT Jackson Lee – 2023
