Avan Jarvis
Avan Jarvis is one of Poplarville’s main running backs who has been extremely productive this year. Some of this success may be in part to the Hornet’s ground and pound offense who rarely throw the football. Nevertheless, Avan has made the most of every opportunity rushing for over 9 yards per carry and averaging over 120 yards per game. His aggresive downhill style running puts his team in great a great position to be state champions this year. It will be great to see how Avan produces and improves this year. He would certainly be a great prospect to consider, especially for run heavy offenses.
Maurice Travis

Maurice is another running back who has benefited tremendously from the Hornet’s offensive style. This Wing-T offense bodes well for travis as he is quick, shifty and can break through tackles. Additionally Maurice has incredible top speed in the open field making him difficult to catch once he is past the initial defense. Maurice has found the endzone more times than anyone on the team and has had multiple 100 + games. His patience and explosiveness are great characteristics that could aide collegiate teams in having a successful season in 2024.
Nakiel Trotter
Nakiel Trotter
Trotter has been the heartbeat of this defense this year. He is a solid defender who does an excellent job of reading his keys, destroying blocks and getting to the ball carrier with great violence. His knowledge of the defense helps him get his teammates aligned in order to shut down their opponents. It is impressive to see Trotter runninng from sideline to sideline in order to make tackles. A majority of his tackles have been behind or near the line of scrimmage displaying how solid of an athlete he is. Trotter would be a great foundational piece to a good solid defense.
