John is a great line backer and shows that he is game in and game out. He has great vision when getting downhill and finishing plays and also is great at stuffing the run up the middle.

One of the most underrated players in the state Braxton is a great sideline to sideline backer. He has great speed and agility and doesnt miss many tackles. He’s athletic and makes big hits along with filling hole and running plays down. His sophomore year was his growing year but he’s starting to put the state on notice with his play in his junior year and will look to have a major impact and role on a young Martinsburg team.

Caden is a great line backer and shows it with his ability to get downhill and make plays. He consistently sheds off blocks and makes plays at the line of scrimmage and is creating one of the best linebacker duos with himself and Cam Rice Cam Rice 6'2" | 215 lbs | LB Morgantown | 2021 State WV at the backer positions. Look for Caden to step up and help this Morgantown team get confidence as well and provide another voice on that defense and anchor his squad.
