#12 Luke Martin QB, WR Sr 6’2 190 lbs
Luke Martin had a great night at quarterback leading his team. Luke is a mobile quarterback great at scrambling and playing under pressure. Luke is an excellent passer having open perception of the entire field. With Luke being able to throw and run the ball skillfully he was able to rush in for two touchdowns and throw for one touchdown pass. Luke has two college and universities offers from University at Buffalo and Harding University. I hope Luke will continue his football career at one of these universities.
#20 Jabari Ellison DB Jr 5’11 170 lbs
Jabari Ellison is a versatile defensive player. Jabari is a defensive back, but he can also line up as a defensive linebacker. Jabari shined at either position he was at and applied equal aggressiveness to both. Jabari as linebacker was able to read Atascocita’s offense and as a defensive back cover his man and stop a good amount of pass plays. Jabari as a linebacker strip the ball from the running back and recovered the fumble. Jabari is a great asset to The Dickinson Gators defense he’ll be a big player for them in his senior year of football.
#5 Layden Roque FS Jr
Layden Roque is an aggressive free safety. Layden was always in pursuit of the ball. Wherever it went he went. Layden was also quick off his feet as well. Layden caught an interception that put the Gators in a great spot.
#19 Diego Sanchez SS So 6’2 160 lbs
Diego Sanchez is a dependable strong safety. Diego was perceptive and patient always reading the offense. Diego stopped any play that came his way. Diego is also quick and fast if he saw an opportunity he didn’t let it slip away. Diego used his speed to get in front of a pass and caught an interception. Diego being only a sophomore he’ll definitely grow into a bigger, stronger and faster player in his junior and senior year of football.
#14 Vernon Glover Jr CB Jr 6’0 170 lbs
I know for certain that #14 Vernon Glover Jr is an athlete. Vernon is a quick, fast and aggressive cornerback. Vernon knows how to commit to an assignment, however if he sees an opportunity to make a play he’ll change routes and go pursuit the ball. Vernon is definitely the fastest player on defense and the most athletic on the team. Vernon is also a top college prospect having numerous offers from different colleges and universities; Arizona State, Texas A&M, Kansas University, University of Houston, Florida State, University of Texas and many others. Vernon will be a key player on The Dickinson Gators defense in his senior year.
