Andre’s Take:

Jordan Smith is the most dynamic Quarterback I’ve seen all year. He is a young Michael Vick .
Gavin Screws has a cannon of an arm, he’s the main reason Baldwin is undefeated.
Carson Beck is the most polished college ready drop back QB I’ve seen this year so far.

Running Backs

1. Marcus Crowley- Trinity- 870 rushing yds, 12 TDs

2. Keshawn King- Oakleaf- 906 rushing yds 17 TDs

3. Brandon Marshall- Raines- 1072 yards and 13 touchdowns,

Marcus Crowley is one of those rare running backs that you see every decade. Like a Derek Henry. He’s just that special
Keshawn King has lived up to his name since his freshman year. When he gets the ball he is King over every defense.
Brandon Marshall is the most underrated running back in Northeast Florida. Power, agility, speed. He has it all.

Wide Receivers

TJ. Jones- Columbia- 541 receiving yds, 3 TDS
Marquez Bell- Columbia- 578 receiving yds, 7 TDs

3. Tahveon Nicholson, Lee- 469 receiving yds, 5 TDs

TJ Jones is the most explosive wide receiver I’ve seen in a very long time. His speed and agility are unmatched
Marquez Bell’s game is beautiful to watch. He catches balls in stride and has a wide catch radius.
Taz Nicholson pound for pound may be the best athlete in Northeast Florida. What an addition to the Generals!

Defense

Andrew Brown, LB Trinity 52 Tackles, 1 interception

2. Triston Herndon, DE Sandalwood, 8 Sacks

3. Jalen Mitchell, Fletcher 8 interceptions 2 TDs

As a middle linebacker, I look for those players that change the game with their play. I saw Brown shadow Columbia’s Jordan Smith and tackle him in open field. Wow!
Herndon is leading the area in sacks. He’s a wild man off the edge for Sandalwood. And he’s still learning the position!
Mitchell is carrying Fletcher’s defense right now. Three interceptions in one game and 8 overall before October!
