George Egan George Egan 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Creighton Prep | 2023 State NE is a dual threat player, even though the fullback isn’t as popular as it used to be Egan shows it can still be used in some ways. Averaging 4.8 yards a carry Egan is a tool needed on any short distance to a touchdown or a first down. Along with his 182 rushing yards he also has 2 rushing touchdowns. Not only is he a fullback he is a middle linebacker. There isn’t any stats for tackles but watching the film you can see how great George is at tackling and wrapping up.

John didn’t play that many games this season however he did very well in those games and I think he will improve and get to play more in the coming season. Last season out of the 5 games he played he blocked two kicks and had 3 interceptions. His film is very fun and he is excellent at the safety blitz.

Sam is one of my favorite lineman in the state just from watching his film. On both sides of the ball Sam is a great athlete. Sam throws people off of him on defense and wont stop blocking down the field. Hes another Prep player I cannot way to go and watch this season. he is a stud and his film is very entertaining to watch.

Ahmar is going to be a great this season and watching his game footage the man does not back down. He tackles low and gerts at the legs to stop the runner at anty spot. He does this on coverage and runs and that is what is most impressive is his eye for the ball. Creighton Prep is going to have one of the most entertaining defenses to watch this season.
We are many months out from the football season and we are all excited. If Creighton Prep and the amazing talented kids on this team can pull it together and upset some of those games early season, then they will be a major favorite going to state. It isn’t that bold looking at this roster to believe one of these teams might be able to bring down a few of the power house Class A schools. I think Class A will be a lot more balanced this season with multiple favorites who can pull through and many new talents to show what they can do.
