Lockdown Defenders to Watch this Season

We cap off the senior class this week with some of the top defenders. Defensive backs are up first and we learn about some of the top prospects who earned themselves spots on our rankings and are very worthy of you to keep an eye on this season. &nbsp; &nbsp; <h5> [player_tooltip player_id="58770" first="Ryker" last="Brown"], Bluefield</h5> Ryker is easily one of the most athletic players whenever he touches the field. He mainly plays QB but is an athlete who can play both sides of the ball. I like him best at the free safety position and think he has he can be a great FBS/FCS prospect there on the defensive side of the ball. He has terrific size at 6’3" 195 lbs, long arms, and an athletic build. He can plays QB so he knows how to read the QB and bait them into throwing his way. Keep your eye out for Brown this season. &nbsp; https://twitter.com/rbrown_08/status/1336463116524195841?s=20 <h5></h5> <h5></h5> <h5></h5> <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="58783" first="Mason" last="Moran"], Cabell Midland</h5> Mason just might be one of my favorite cornerback prospects in the state. He’s got the requisites size coaches at the next level are looking for with his almost 6"2 175ilb frame, he’s got those long arms and legs. Shows some good speed, a very smooth in his backpedal, and can come out of his hips easily and trail receivers. He’s got that awareness to make plays all over the field and is a gifted athlete to keep your eye on this season. https://twitter.com/MoranMason/status/1407683335745249280?s=20 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <h5>[player_tooltip player_id="58771" first="JT" last="James"], Hurricane</h5> JT is an electrifying player who brings a spark to the team on special teams and on defense. I loved this guy’s high motor, his ability to stop the run, and his speed to cover the entire field. JT can play either safety position and be a dominant force. He plays against the run very well and is a sure tackler. Delivering devastating blows to ball carriers whenever he makes contact. I think JT could be one player who moves up himself up our board this season and up a lot of other colleges ’ recruiting boards as well. https://twitter.com/JtJames28/status/1195908643130159111?s=20 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
