Continue ReadingThe Daphne Trojans finished their 5-5 season with a playoff appearance. Let’ s check out the key returning players who are looking to get back into the playoffs and make some noise.
Johnnie Perdue 6’2 270 DE/ DT
Bradley is an ideal 3-4 defensive end with size, burst, and nuance to be a next-level player at a D1 level. Bradley shows solid nuance with his hands and is effective with his swim move, rips, and hand placement. He shows excellent mobility and short-distance burst as an edge rusher and effectively sets the edge and contains outside runs. Though Bradley’s quick twitch is impressive for his size, Bradley doesn’t mind getting physical. He can take on double teams, stand up opposing linemen in 1v1 situations, and work through blocks to get to the ball.- making him a versatile piece that can be used as an edge rusher or a speed interior presence. Look for Bradley to be the anchor of the Trojan line and make plays all through the fall.

Nick Clark 5’7 195 RB 2024
Clark is one of the most underrated running backs in the state. Though he doesn’t have a prototypical frame, his elite elusiveness in an open field is uncanny. With one of the nastiest juke moves in the state, Clark’s shiftiness creates yards that aren’t blocked for him and is almost guaranteed to make one guy miss on every carry. In addition to his agility, Clark’s low center of gravity makes him hard to tackle, and he has excellent contact balance. He shows the ability and willingness to lower his head and run through defenders when needed. With another season on the horizon, you can expect Clark to be a productive workhorse of the Trojan offense and gain traction in his recruitment.
After a great conversation with @Da_DREAM47 I am truly blessed to receive an offer from The University of Austin Peay!🖤❤️@GovsFB @DaphneFBTrojans pic.twitter.com/dJHgVaUewb

Stacey Boykins 6’3 195 WR 2023
Boykins is a receiver with next-level size and an excellent overall blend of athleticism. Fast enough to be a deep threat, has enough strength to beat press coverage/ hand fighting down the field, and is a smooth accelerator that can create space from subtle cuts on in-breaking routes. With a good frame, he has an elite catch radius – giving him the potential to be a security blanket on the outside. Also can be a solid perimeter blocker and asset in the run game. Look for Boykins to be a primary option in the passing game and a matchup nightmare for smaller DBs.

Cameron Long 5’6 160 SS/ KR 2023
Long is a tremendous return specialist that can change the game with electrifying punt returns. He has a natural skill with the ball in his hands and explosiveness to significantly impact field position weekly. He can hit the crease and get to his top-line speed instantly and has the shiftiness to make guys miss. Long also uses this speed as a rangy safety that can run down plays at an elite level. He can beat ball carriers to the spot and mitigate large gains and touchdowns despite the distance he has to cover. As an X-Factor, look for Long to constantly provide good field position for the offense and touchdown-saving tackles on defense.
