Prep RedZone Next: All FBU Tournament Team – Defensive Back

There were more than 3,500 athletes participating in the FBU National Championship tournament this year from the 1OU age bracket through the 8th grade age bracket--and thousands more tried out. However, we have settled on who he we feel were the top players in the tournament. Some only played one or two games before heading to the consolation games, whereas others won national titles in their respective age groups. Here's who we felt the top Defensive Back's were. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>First Team Defensive Back</strong></span> <table style="border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-259835" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/ZelusHicks-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-259700" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/RahsaanIsaacCombine-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-254129" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/JzaviernCurrenceFBUR3-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-255248" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/DeronteBroughton-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-245408" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/KadenGoodin-300x300.jpeg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000;"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-270398" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/01/AarynWashington-300x300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; text-align: center;">Zelus Hicks GFL, 2026</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; text-align: center;">Rahsaan Isaac GFL, 2026</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; text-align: center;">J'Zavien Currence Carolina, 2026</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; text-align: center;">Deronte Broughton GFL, 2026</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; text-align: center;">Kade Goodin Kentucky, 2027</td> <td style="width: 16.6667%; border-style: solid; border-color: #000000; text-align: center;">Aaryn Washington So.
