#56 Eryx Daugherty | 2023 | OL | Hudl
Eryx Daugherty had an impressive 40 time for an offensive lineman at 4.85. Daugherty is always working to stay lower than his opponent and moving his feet to make sure he does not get driven back. He is great at firing off the football and playing strong at the point of attack. He shows great effort run blocking and pass blocking. Daugherty has great size for an offensive tackle at 6-4, 275 lbs. Daugherty should have another exceptional year protecting the quarterback’s blind spot.
#18 Brayden Dowd | 2023 | WR | Hudl
Dowd is an outstanding punt returner for Brother Rice. He shows great acceleration and can make quick cuts past defenders. Dowd runs routes with precision and it is a big reason he can get separation. Dowd’s playmaking ability with the ball in his hands is the main reason why they run a lot of end-around to him. Dowd looks very comfortbale with the football in his hands. I believe that deep down he knows he can make a big play every time he touches it. Brother Rice will look to Dowd next year to be one of their main playmakers once again.

#63 Charles Mackley Charles Mackley 6'3" | 250 lbs | OL Brother Rice | 2023 State MI | 2023 | OL | Hudl
Mackley does a great job taking out defenders on run plays where he pulls. He gets off the ball very quickly and does a great job of using his upper and lower body strength to drive defenders into the ground. Mackley has shown to be so effective in blocking defenders by himself that Brother Rice does not really need to use double teams.
