With tremendous talent being shown all over the field, and Sports Center worthy plays being made on a daily basis, here are some major athletes who showed why they are elite athletes ready to make a impact on the next level.
Dandy 5
Adrian Tavui was a menace in the trenches during his time at the AYF National Championship. With making impact plays every game, and controlling the line of scrimmage against top competition, Adrian is a no brainer when it comes to elite talent heading into the next level.
Najee Calhoun I RB I NJAYF All Stars
Spectacular is an understatement when evaluating Najee’s performance at the AYF National Championship. While leading all rushers at the tournament with yards after contact, and making exciting plays seem fundamental, Najee is a for sure a1st team member who everyone around the country will know at the next level.
Marcellous Ryan I WR I OG Ducks
Whether on the defensive or offensive side of the ball, Marcellous made a major contribution to the success that the 14u OG Ducks had at the AYF National Tournament. It was clear from day one that defenses couldn’t adjust to his playmaking abilities, and had to roll their coverage to his side depending where he lined up. On the defensive side, using his rangy body to keep receivers off balanced and many times on the line of scrimmage, Marcellous showcased why he is one of the top athletes in the class of 2026.
Benjamin Bankowitz I DL I Osceola Kowboys
For the Osceola Kowboys, Benjamin was a major disrupter that was a key contributor for success for the Osceola Kowboys defense at the AYF National Championship. With chasing down plays from the backside, and taking on many blockers at a time, look for Benjamin to make a major impact wherever he lands next.
Jonathan Ioane I DL I OG Ducks
Big Jon surely lived up to the hype with his play at the AYF National Championship. Jonathan was a menace on the defensive side of the ball, and couldn’t be blocked the entire tournament. Wherever he lined-up, havoc ensued. Double and triple teams were assigned to contain him, but to no avail. With the tournament concluding, it is clear that Big Jon was the best player on the field at all times, and the nation should be on notice of the next big thing coming out of California, “Big Jon”.
