Key Players to Keep an Eye On

Buntain had an impressive junior season, helping his team allow just 12.7 points per game—and yes, five shutouts! He’s definitely one of those players who knows how to shut down an offensive drive.

Then there’s Byrd, an explosive talent who has been catching the interest of big colleges already due to his impressive performance as a freshman and sophomore. His physical frame combined with his skill set is sure to make any offensive coach worried.

More exciting news is that Carlisle, known for his explosiveness off the line, has committed to Boston College. It’s always exhilarating to see local talent making such pivotal decisions for their future.

Chandler is another player turning heads with a program record of eight sacks last season! With offseason training focusing on improving his speed, he’s newly committed to Texas and eager to make an impact in his senior year.

A Diverse Pool of Talent

Don’t forget Cooper! He made a huge mark last season with 47 tackles and three sacks while also boasting an impressive 4.34 GPA, showcasing that his talents aren’t only limited to the gridiron.

Davis, weighing in at 285 pounds and standing at 6-foot-2, is being touted as a candidate for a breakout season, already garnering attention from several Division I programs.

Dotson, with 52 tackles and seven sacks last year, has been leading by example as a rock-solid defensive player. This quality leadership is something that teammates feed off.

Rising junior Foreman has already accumulated five Division I offers while showcasing his tackling prowess, especially for losses—definitely a name to remember!

Big Goals Ahead

Meanwhile, Horn stepped up last season with an impressive 76 tackles, including 18 for loss. His versatility on the field makes him a valuable asset for his team.

Johnson, who’s committed to Alabama, had an exceptional season with 47 tackles and 10 sacks. He’s considered a strong contender for the coveted Mr. Football award—definitely a player to watch!

Other standout athletes include Jones, who has narrowed his college choices down to Alabama, Oregon, and Texas A&M. He is currently rated No. 16 nationally in the Class of 2026. McIntyre’s strength—he can bench 400 pounds—also landed him a second-team all-state selection, making him a force to be reckoned with on the field.
