Caden Creel 6’0 200 QB
Creel is a dual threat who can make plays with his arms and legs. His excellent touch on his throws makes him elite in the intermediate passing game. Consistently places the ball where only the receiver can make a play on it and has solid velocity. Creel is also effective when throwing on the run and doesn’t lose accuracy when throwing on the run, and can buy time out of the pocket when the play breaks down. Creel is very elusive in the pocket and the open field. His ability to maneuver in small spaces and make guys miss is impressive given his 200-pound frame. His explosiveness as a runner and consistent passing will be the offense’s focal point. Expect Creel to carry the offensive load and be productive as both a passer and runner.

Qualin McCants 6’1 210 RB 2023
Mccants is a power back with the size and frame to be a difference maker on the offense. He has a north-south running style, can cut off blocks, and use his vision to find interior gaps. He shows good enough burst to get to the second level and use his size to break tackles, lower his shoulder, and run through contact consistently. He has top-tier lower body strength and can out yards after contact. McCants always seems to fall forward and is a red zone threat from the running back position due to his size and strength. Look for McCants to be a lead contributor in the backfield and a key piece of the offense.

Ameyr Adams 6’0 180 CB
Very effective as a zone corner. He understands the responsibility of not getting beat when playing in deep coverage. He has enough speed to close on short passes, mitigate yards after the catch, guard deep passes, and not let receivers get behind him. Also is effective in playing through the hands and timing out passes for swats and deflections. Can track to ball effectively and make plays on it. Adams’s ability to read and react will discourage QBs from throwing the ball downfield and allow the defense to cover less ground. Expect for Adams to get his hands on the ball frequently through the fall.

Lashavion Brown 6’1 195 CB/WR
Brown is a two-way playmaker who can make splash plays and contribute as a solid piece. He is very physical at the line of scrimmage with his jam technique. It always seems to win, disrupt receivers’ timing, and eliminate them from the play. Brown has a wiry frame and exceptional strength for size. This mentality and power also translate to his run support efforts, where he’s a physical tackler that’s effective in run support. As a receiver, he has reliable hands and is comfortable as a second or third option that can make plays if the primary receiver is doubled. Look for Brown to be a versatile playmaker on both sides of the ball and be a key piece of the offense and defense.
