These 4 players all made an impact on varsity as underclassmen. With another year of experience under their belts, they will look to break out and dominate this season. Tavahri Groves | 5’11 WR | Quince Orchard Groves is a transfer from Seneca Valley. Groves is a receiver that can line up both inside in the slot and on the outside. He has great speed as he is able to simply run by defenders. He is very dangerous after the catch. He is very elusive and has enough speed to finish off big plays. He also likes to seek contact. On the defensive end, he likes to come downfield hard and make big hits. On offense, he is a very willing blocker especially when lined up in the slot. It will be interesting to see how Groves fits into this Quince Orchard offense. [player_tooltip player_id="256015" first="Junior" last="Owusu"] | 5’10 CB | BCC Owusu is a corner with great potential. He does a great job of reading the quarterback’s eyes. He is a corner that is not afraid to get physical. He does a great job of getting his hands on receivers before and during routes. Sometimes he can get a bit too handsy which can lead to some penalties. He has great feet and hips. He does a great job of staying attached to receivers on broken plays. Owusu will look to improve his production this season. [player_tooltip player_id="371094" first="Jonathan" last="Ventura"] | DL | Blake Ventura is a 2-way player for Blake. He starts at center but he has higher upside on the defensive side of the ball. He has great hands. He has the ability to line up on the edge and in the interior. He does a great job of shedding blockers and slipping blocks. He has a great feel for blocks and their balance and does a great job of fighting blocks. He also has the ability to tackle in traffic which allows him to stop the run at a high level. He also is a very good pass rusher that has multiple pass rush moves. Ventura is a really good player and will push to make the all-county team this season. [player_tooltip player_id="249416" first="Shae" last="Terry"] | 5’11 CB | Quince Orchard Terry is a transfer from Avalon. Terry is a very athletic corner. He has great speed that allows him to recover when he gets beat on routes. He also has a very good vertical leap which improves his catch radius greatly. His athleticism allows him to excel in 50/50 ball situations. He is also a very good tackler. He needs to improve his footwork and in-man coverage. Terry is a player with a very high ceiling.
