Continue ReadingThe DFW metroplex is loaded with talent, year after year, and in this article, we’ll take a look at five soon-to-be seniors at Class 6A Plano West. The Wolves are coming off a disappointing 4-6 campaign in 2021, and these talented players are looking to lead a playoff run this fall.
Included is a shifty 5’9″ running back, a high motor defensive end, and a pair of cornerbacks that will be very nice players at the next level.
DE Reed Olmsted — 6’3″ 235 / Plano West HS — @ReedOlmsted1244
Olmsted is a defensive lineman that maximizes every rep and is a fixture up front for the Wolves. He reacts to the snap nicely, and is seemingly always around the football. Plays every position along the line in high school, but will find his college home as either a 4-3 defensive end or as a stand-up outside linebacker in a 3-4.
Currently holds one Division 3 offer.

RB Dermot White — 5’9″ 190 / Plano West HS — @Dermot_White
White is the do-it-all running back for the Wolves. He accelerates well through the hole and does a good job of getting downhill fast. Does a great job of setting up his blocks and making defenders miss at the second level. Broke off several long runs as a junior, and am interested to see the kind of senior season he’s about to have.
Currently holds one Division 2 and two Division 3 offers.

CB Elyjah Robertson — 6’0″ 170 / Plano West HS — @E_Robertson_
Robertson is a great fit in either man or zone coverage. His silky hips allow him to turn and run with any receiver when on an island, and his outstanding eye discipline enables him to excel in zone situations. My favorite thing about him is how quickly he breaks downhill and makes plays on the football. Look for him to have a stellar senior season.
Currently holds one Division 3 offer. Interest from some D1 programs.

LB Chandler Powell — 6’0″ 210 / Plano West HS — @ChandlerP_35
Powell is a B Gap to B Gap thumper who excels as a run stuffer and on special teams. He plays through the whistle and hits hard in the ground game. Will be a very nice pickup for a small program looking for a physical presence in their linebacker room.
Currently has no offers.

CB Donovan Martin — 5’10″ 170 / Plano West HS — @DonovanM_11
Martin is a good-looking CB who excels as a perimeter tackler. He is a fearless competitor who leaves it all on the field with every single rep. The all-district selection a season ago has something to prove as he heads into his senior season and looks to pick up his first college offer.
