Continue ReadingThe preseason previews continue to roll here at PrepRedzone. Earlier this week, our own Vic Castillo posted our preseason first-team offense and defenses, today, we return with our second-team offense. Deciding on the second team was once again tough to decide, with a lot of great players in contention. After some conversation and deliberation, we decided on the following players for the 2021 All-Pennsylvania Preseason 2nd Team offense.
Quarterbacks
- Alex Erby Alex Erby 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Steelton-Highspire | 2024 State PA
- Jaden Keefner Jaden Keefner 6'1" | 210 lbs | QB Wyoming Seminary Prep | 2023 State PA
Quarterback is quite a loaded position entering the 2021 season in the state and was one of the tougher positions to decide on. Ultimately, we decided on 2024 standout Alex Erby Alex Erby 6'4" | 210 lbs | QB Steelton-Highspire | 2024 State PA and 2023 quarterback Jaden Keefner Jaden Keefner 6'1" | 210 lbs | QB Wyoming Seminary Prep | 2023 State PA . Erby earning second-team honors as a sophomore speaks a ton about his overall potential but also of where he currently sits in his development. Keefner is highly talented himself and is the top-ranked quarterback in the class of 2023.
Runningbacks
- Samuel Brown Samuel Brown 6'3" | 200 lbs | RB Lasalle College | 2022 State PA
- Jahiem White Jahiem White 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB William Penn (York) | 2023 State PA
Our running back selections were unanimous as we selected 2022 running back Samuel Brown Samuel Brown 6'3" | 200 lbs | RB Lasalle College | 2022 State PA and 2023 running back Jahiem White Jahiem White 5'9" | 190 lbs | RB William Penn (York) | 2023 State PA . Brown, a Rutgers commitment is a special and elite talent while White is a player we believe could very well end up playing at the Power Five level in college. With a strong season, he’ll have a great opportunity to be on next year’s preseason first-team offense.
Wide Receivers
- Kevin Thomas Kevin Thomas 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR Neumann-Goretti | 2022 State PA
- David Washington Jr David Washington Jr 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR St. Joseph's Prep | 2024 State PA
- Mario Easterly Mario Easterly 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Bishop McDevitt | 2022 State PA
Like with the first-team offense, deciding on the second-team wide receivers was once again pretty difficult. The talent at the wide receiver position in Pennsylvania is off the charts. That being said, for the second-team offense, we selected 2022 wideouts Kevin Thomas Kevin Thomas 6'3" | 190 lbs | WR Neumann-Goretti | 2022 State PA and Mario Easterly Mario Easterly 6'0" | 190 lbs | ATH Bishop McDevitt | 2022 State PA as well as St. Joes Prep’s David Washington Jr David Washington Jr 6'0" | 185 lbs | WR St. Joseph's Prep | 2024 State PA . who is our top 2024 wide receiver. Thomas and Easterly both recently made college commitments to West Virginia and Old Dominion respectively.
Tight Ends
- Markus Dixon Markus Dixon 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Archbishop Wood | 2023 State PA
- Peyton Faulkner Peyton Faulkner 6'4" | 230 lbs | ATH Avonworth | 2023 State PA
Tight end is another really talented position in the state this year and our second-team features Archbishop Wood’s Markus Dixon Markus Dixon 6'5" | 230 lbs | TE Archbishop Wood | 2023 State PA who will look to be the next great Vikings tight end while Peyton Faulkner Peyton Faulkner 6'4" | 230 lbs | ATH Avonworth | 2023 State PA is already showing a ton of promise himself.
Offensive Linemen
- Gabriel Arena Gabriel Arena 6'5" | 285 lbs | OL Bishop McDevitt | 2023 State PA
- Michael Dincher Michael Dincher 6'2" | 300 lbs | OL State College | 2023 State PA
- Coltin Deery Coltin Deery 6'4" | 275 lbs | OL Malvern Prep | 2022 State PA
- Sean Dugery Sean Dugery 6'4" | 295 lbs | OL The Haverford | 2023 State PA
The second-team offensive line was nearly unanimous. A pair of our selections in Max Bowman Max Bowman 6'7" | 300 lbs | OL Malvern Prep | 2022 State PA and Coltin Deery Coltin Deery 6'4" | 275 lbs | OL Malvern Prep | 2022 State PA are already committed to Harvard and Maryland respectively while Arena, Dincher, and Dugery all are uncommitted and lead the way, representing the 2023 class.
