Junior year is a make-or-break season, and these budding SCISA stars are ready to seize their moment. Let’s take a look at some names from our class of 2024 rankings who should stand out among the rest.   [player_tooltip player_id="208350" first="Brycen" last="Scott"], DB, 5-11, 170 pounds, Trinity Collegiate   An explosive playmaker at Trinity Collegiate, [player_tooltip player_id="208350" first="Brycen" last="Scott"] made some big waves for the Titans over his sophomore season. Scott is a talented corner with fantastic instincts and the drive to do whatever it takes to break up a play. He’s a ferocious tackler in the open field with the quickness and firepower to pursue the ball-carrier and make key stops. A versatile defensive standout who has proven his ability to shut down top receivers at the SCISA level, Scott is primed for a strong junior year.   [player_tooltip player_id="267473" first="Courtlyn" last="Brunson"], DB, 6-0, 170 pounds, Trinity Collegiate   The second half of a dynamic junior defensive back duo for the Titans, [player_tooltip player_id="267473" first="Courtlyn" last="Brunson"] developed into a major component of Trinity’s secondary in 2021. He’s an excellent tackler who knows how to locate the ball and convert key plays for his defense. Brunson possesses terrific quickness and the ability to anticipate quarterback reads and make timely interceptions. A driven player with a handful of important skill sets, Brunson should continue to shine throughout his junior campaign.   [player_tooltip player_id="262434" first="Juels" last="Huntley"], ATH, 5-8, 160 pounds, Florence Christian   The younger brother of quarterback [player_tooltip player_id="332696" first="Juw-el" last="Huntley"], [player_tooltip player_id="262434" first="Juels" last="Huntley"] has also become a do-it-all standout for Florence Christian. A potent weapon on both sides of the ball with lightning-quick speed, Huntley has elite instinctiveness and the acceleration to take off down the field. His quick first step and explosive abilities in the ground game and on kick returns has made him one of the most dangerous ball-carriers in SCISA. Expect Huntley to see the ball often in the backfield and make more highlight-reel plays on offense and in the secondary in 2022.   [player_tooltip player_id="322302" first="Teague" last="Ward"], LB, 6-0, 200 pounds, Williamsburg Academy   A dynamic sparkplug on a high-energy Williamsburg Academy team, [player_tooltip player_id="322302" first="Teague" last="Ward"] put on a show for the Stallions in 2021. Ward has outstanding vision and exceptional breakaway speed alongside the hands to make difficult catches as a receiver. On defense, Ward is a strong linebacker with the quickness and agility to pursue and make tackles across the field. An uber-talented playmaker who can score from anywhere, Ward has some elite potential heading into his junior season.
