Continue ReadingPrep Redzone looks at a few players that we think you should monitor in the DCIAA this upcoming season. These teams saw their 2020 season wiped out because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We gathered as much information as possible on returning 2022, 2023 and 2024 players. Some teams had little for me to go on but that may change towards the start of this season.

Price committed to the University of Pennsylvania on Jul. 12.
Gus Burns Gus Burns 6'0" | 180 lbs | LB Sidwell Friends | 2022 MD /6-0/210/LB/2022

Christian Gamble Christian Gamble 6'1" | 185 lbs | TE Sidwell Friends | 2022 MD /6-1/190/RB/2022
Here’s what PRZ Maryland’s Parker Smith had to say about Gamble in April:
Christian Gamble Christian Gamble 6'1" | 185 lbs | TE Sidwell Friends | 2022 MD is undoubtedly the Fighting Quakers’ most dynamic player on both sides of the ball. From free safety to running back, and of course tight end, Christian does it all and with incredible consistency. On offense, his play making ability is jaw-dropping, and what really stands out when you watch him is his yards after contact. His speed combined with his large frame makes him almost impossible to guard, especially in one on one matchups. D1 scouts and programs should most certainly watch out for Christian Gamble Christian Gamble 6'1" | 185 lbs | TE Sidwell Friends | 2022 MD to have more breakout games this Fall.
Chali Taylor/6-2/205/RB/2023
Cameron Gillus/WR/2022
Aaron Garnett/6-3/315/OL/2022
ST. ALBANS
Chase Williams Chase Williams 6'1" | 190 lbs | QB St. Albans | 2022 State MD /6-1/195/QB/2022
Williams did not get to play a full slate of games during his junior year. He spent his sophomore year season at Our Lady of Good Counsel where he helped lead his team to a WCAC Championship. The WCAC is one of the toughest leagues in the nation. Williams does a great job of selling the play-action which enables him to make the big plays downfield. He’s a mobile quarterback that is adept at climbing the pocket to avoid pressure and make the completion. Williams attacks the edge quickly on rollouts, putting the defense at a disadvantage. Is he going to run or pass
