LJ Jacobs, RB/DB- Yulee High c/o 24
6’0 191lbs
Jacob says a rising Junior out of Yulee High and a player that I think will really step up this season for the Hornets and be a big part of their offense in 2022. He’s had a strong spring camp and picked up an offer from Georgia Southern University. Last season in a backup roll he rushed for 297 yards and 3 touchdowns with one 100-yard rushing game.
Strengths:
- Versatility/plays on both sides of the ball
- Shows physicality
- Vision and patience
Alex Withrow, OL- Heritage High c/o 23
6’3 265lbs
Withrow was a major part of an outstanding rushing attack last season for the Heritage High. He helped pave the way for a Panthers team that rushed for 3,511 yards, averaged over 9 yards per carry with 35 rushing touchdowns. He’s had a very good offseason picking up his first offer from Weber University. He’s an under the radar player that coaches need to check out ASAP.
Strengths:
- Plays nasty and physical
- Quick out of stance
- Good speed to power
Kobe Johnson, RB- Pine Forest High c/o 23
5’10 205lbs
Johnson is a big time back for powerhouse Pine Forest High. Last season he helped lead them to a 12-2 record and the state championship game. He’s a three-star prospect that rushed for 1,094 yards, averaged 8 yards per carry with 12 rushing touchdowns in for 100 yard rushing games. He picked up his first offer from Long Island University in May. I expect a monster season again out of him in 2022.
Strengths:
- Downhill runner with speed
- Acceleration to hit the hole quickly
- Runs with power (425lb squat) and consistently breaks arm tackles
Kevin Pollock, LB- Vero Beach High c/o 24
6’1 210lbs
Pollock is a player that needs to be on everyone’s radar in 2022. He’s a two sport athlete that also excels in wrestling. He’s a rising Junior and a player coaches need to check out. He had a very strong spring camp and made the top 25 players in the Treasure Coast to watch out for in 2022. I expect big things from him this season.
Strengths:
- Active feet and flies to the football
- Take smart angles to the football
- Athleticism to play out in space and in coverage
