East Tennessee
’24 (QB) Brady Hammonds Brady Hammonds 6'2" | 200 lbs | QB Gatlinburg-Pittman | 2024 State TN – Gatliburg-Pittman
* 20-27 passing for 398 yds & 6 TD’s *
– Hammonds has been a steady, consistent performer for his Highlanders offense all season long and last week, he had his best game yet in their win over Northview Academy. The Highlanders sit at 7-1 on the season and Hammonds has been a major factor why but has also boosted his recruiting stock further, turning himself into a legit college prospect.
Middle Tennessee
(DE/LB) Darian Crenshaw – Marshall Co.
* 7 tcks, 4.5 TFL, 1 QBH & 3 sacks *
– The Tigers continued their winning ways last week in their road win over Glencliff where Crenshaw was a major factor on defense, causing havoc in the Colts backfield all night long. So far in the 2022 season, this Tigers edge rusher has been a consistent disruptor in the opposing backfield and putting up numbers that warrant All-State honors by season’s end.
West Tennessee
(RB) Kevin Finch – USJ
* 21 carr. for 204 yds & 3 TD’s (3 rec. for 20 yds & 1 TD) *
– The Bruins have found a consistent performer at running back now with Finch and last week he had a monster game, scoring in two different ways while picking up several key first downs. This is an under the radar back that sports good size and shows on film the ability to be patient with explosive traits. Look for the Bruins to lean on Finch as the head into postseason play next month.
