Eric Winters 6’2 205 SS/OLB
Winters is one the state’s best defensive prospects despite his age. As a freshman, he earned Power 5 interest recognition, and rightfully so. The Enterprise safety has the range of a center fielder. With blazing closing speed, he’s rarely completely out of a play and can be the ultimate easier on the defense’s backside. He has a tremendous nose for the ball and is a high-volume turnover generator against the run and pass. Has enough IQ to diagnose routes and make plays on the ball and enough toughness, strength, and timing to force fumbles with strips and peanut punches. Look for Winters to be the leader of the defense and make plays throughout the fall.
Keion Dunlap 6’0 186 FS
Dunlap is an elite free safety that can patrol the field and erase plays with speed, instinct, and coverage skills. He shows a knack for undercutting routes and beating receivers to the ball and has an elite playmaking radius when making interceptions. With a receiver-like catch radius, Dunlap can fully extend/dive for deflections and interceptions- enabling him to play way bigger than his listed frame. Showed functionality when working as a slot corner and had enough quick twitch to match speedier receivers. As one of the state’s best safeties, expect Dunlap to constantly get his hands on the ball and make QBs think twice about throwing the ball downfield.
Mykel Johnson 5’10 175 ATH
Johnson is a dynamic playmaker on the offensive end that can be highly productive as a runner or receiver. As a running back, his elite acceleration allows him to immediately reach the second level with steam. This elite burst also contributes to his solid straight-line speed. In addition to his quickness, Johnson shows solid vision when cutting off blockers and can find his way to space for open runs. He shows excellent elusiveness in the open field and can make guys miss consistently. These traits carry over when he plays as a slot receiver. He has a solid set of hands and enough route running to create mismatches against linebackers. Expect Johnson to be used as a chess piece and make plays as a versatile weapon for the Wildcats.
Aiden White 6’0 165 WR/CB
White is a solid receiver who consistently be where you need him to be when you need him to be there. White is a solid route runner that can create space against man coverage or find soft spots in a zone. Though he isn’t a burner, his ability to make contested catches makes him open anytime there’s an inch of space available. White also contributes as a high-level blocker that opens up lanes on the perimeter.
