Noxubee County’s Top 3 Athletes

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Lamar Stewart,</strong> 5-8 170 Class of 2023<br>Nouxbee County has had several quarterbacks start for them this season however Lamar Stewart has been the most productive quarterback this far. He completes more than half of his passes while averaging over 20 yards per throw. His accuracy is evident in the fact that he has only thrown 2 interceptions this season in 8 games. Throwing the football is only a fracture of his skill. Stewart has also proven to be dangerous once he gets out of the pocket. Once the defense loses containment Lamar averages over 8 yards per carry and has found the endzone 3 times on the ground this season. He is a little undersized however he plays well above his size in multiple fashions.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='282591' first='Martavius' last='Wicks'], </strong>5-9 170 RB Class of 2024<br>Wicks is a serviceable running back with great speed and athleticism. He has shown considerable improvement since last year and will hopefully continue this same trajectory throughout the rest of the season and into next year. With an average of over 10 yards per carry Martavius has already shown his explosiveness while also being a running back who can keep his feet after initial contact. His contributions to the team are pretty considerable as they look to keep winning district games and be a shoe-in for the playoffs. Martavius may serve as a nice role player for many D2 to D3 programs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='953393' first='BJ' last='Payton'],</strong>6-3 180 OLB Class of 2026<br>[player_tooltip player_id='953393' first='BJ' last='Payton'] has the blueprints of an incredible athlete. As a freshmen, this kid already has the size and height to compete at a high level and do so with every snap. He is a naturally disruptive defensive athlete who likes to get in the backfield and make tackles. Additionally. Payton can drop in coverage and give receivers a difficult time getting open. His play style reminds me of Micah Parsons or T.J Watt as he utilizes both speed and power to get off the edge and create havoc for the opposing team. He will certainly be a force to be reckoned with throughout his fours season at Nouxbee County. Scouts should be keeping an eye out for this guy as he continues to improve.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
