has easily put the team on his shoulders this year. Dante accounts for more than half the team’s yards and nearly all of the team’s touchdowns. He is on track to beat his performance of 2,500 yards rushing last season by nearly 800 yards. His production is a testament to his aggressive downhill running style accompanied by the incredible breakaway speed in the open field. He is deserving of all the offers and success that comes his way as he has put in the work to get to where he is at. He will be an excellent addition to the Oregon Duck’s explosive offense in the Pacific Northwest.

is often underestimated due to his size but if anything about him is true it is that he packs a punch with every tackle. Amarion plays the role of Middle Linebacker exceptionally well. He does a great job of recognizing blocks early and finding the ball carrier on every play. Up to this point in the season Amarion has collected nearly 100 tackles proving that wherever the ball is going Tyson will be there to make the stop. As a prospect Amarion has the potential to be converted into a Strong Safety or Nickel corner who can provide excellent support from the edge. Amarion has been a key reason why his team is undefeated at this point. If he continues to play as he does he is sure to get an offer and get his team to the state championships.

Jamonta is a young man who plays with fire for fuel. From his defensive end position, Waller has made a reputation for himself to be a troublemaker for the opposing offense. Waller consistently finds a way to get into the opponent’s backfield and cause big-time plays that really affect the outcome of the contest. Having a solid playmaker on the line is important as it opens up opportunities for stunts, blitzes, and slants making the defense even more effective. Jamonta’s play has helped shut down the opposing team’s running game and pass game leading to their undefeated season thus far. If he can continue this trajectory for the rest of the season and next year he will truly be a force to be reckoned with at the next level.
