TN East vs. West All-Star Rosters Set

One of the biggest postseason events that takes place each year here in Tennessee is the East vs. West All-Star Classic and this season's rosters have been selected and you got some serious talent that is expected to be on hand!   Thursday evening, the committee for the All-Star Classic announced their rosters for both the East and West squads and it will take place yet again inside Fortera Stadium, on the campus of the Austin Peay Governors in Clarksville, Tennessee.   Here we give a quick overview on each roster and what guys you need to pay attention to in this game that can take their recruiting stock to another level.    * These rosters are subject to change as some players may fall out due to injuries or other obligations; New players could be added to the rosters before the actual game on December 9th *   East Team   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/tnallstar/status/1585771732555571200?s=20&t=ZpPqoC_JT_3RJFZB65Fi0Q </div></figure>   QB's: [player_tooltip player_id='150308' first='Jack' last='Risner'] - Blackman, [player_tooltip player_id='268153' first='Kade' last='Hewitt'] - Oakland   - This is a big opportunity for Risner as he gets to practice in front of college coaches and perform with other talented ball players. The Blackman senior signal caller is a legit college guy that may need this All-Star game to possibly boost his stock.    RB's: [player_tooltip player_id='102219' first='Malaki' last='Dowell'] - White Co., [player_tooltip player_id='102181' first='Mason' last='Bowman'] - Monterey, [player_tooltip player_id='102247' first='Javoris' last='Havis'] - Chatt. Christian, Aljarea Johnson - Fayetteville   - Dowell leads the state in rushing and has picked up a few FCS offers and I could see this Warrior running back picking up several more before signing day in December. Bowman is another under the radar talent that has produced big numbers throughout his HS career and could use the East/West game to take his recruiting status to another level.    WR's: [player_tooltip player_id='153948' first='Bryson' last='Vowell'] - Anderson Co., [player_tooltip player_id='197134' first='Kaleb' last='Carver'] - Green Hill, [player_tooltip player_id='328654' first='David' last='Cole'] - East Hamilton, [player_tooltip player_id='462560' first='Ashton' last='Auker'] - Farragut, Brohns Donaldson - Boyd Buchanan, Zack McGaw - Jefferson Co.   - Vowell holds multiple D1 offers, including one from Iowa and I could see this East TN product pick up several more over the coming months, especially with a big performance in this All-Star game; Much of the same could be said for Carver. This athletic and fast wideout has some of the best playmaking abilities in the state but hasn't seen the offers come his way; Auker is one of the fastest receivers in the state and has seen an uptick with his recruitment over the back half of the season.    TE: John Hamilton - Clay Co.   Ath: [player_tooltip player_id='150317' first='Marcellus' last='Jackson'] - Fulton   - Jackson is one of the best playmakers in the entire state and it's a shame that he doesn't have the offers his talents warrant. Showcasing himself around and with the talent at this All-Star game should boost his stock further and finally get these college coaches to bite on extending him an offer.    OL: [player_tooltip player_id='102231' first='Eli' last='Freeman'], [player_tooltip player_id='225975' first='Aidan' last='Donald'] - Lebanon, [player_tooltip player_id='305266' first='Elijah' last='Prather'] - LaVergne, [player_tooltip player_id='102188' first='Ayden' last='Bussell'] - Mt. Juliet, [player_tooltip player_id='317187' first='Ty' last='Williams'] - Greeneville, [player_tooltip player_id='102258' first='Dayton' last='Jernigan'] - Warren Co., [player_tooltip player_id='196987' first='Bo' last='Harrell'] - Upperman, [player_tooltip player_id='304759' first='Ramirez' last='Young'] - Smyrna, Jackson Barnett - Volunteer    - This is a stacked O-line for the East Roster with future Power Five, D1 guys leading the way in Bussell, Freeman, Donald and Williams. All four of those guys could boost their stocks even further during this All-Star week, especially Donald and Williams who are fringe D1 prospects. Jernigan is another guy to watch during this game as he sports great size and athleticism that plays up well on the next level.    Injured: (WR) [player_tooltip player_id='297330' first='Anthony' last='Crowell'] - Lebanon   <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/08/efreeman-848x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-415646" width="337" height="407" /></figure>   DL: [player_tooltip player_id='102361' first='Braxton' last='Wilson'] - Fayetteville, [player_tooltip player_id='102292' first='Donovan' last='Nevils'] - BGA, [player_tooltip player_id='102320' first='Luke' last='Scott'] - Daniel Boone, [player_tooltip player_id='157393' first='Isaac' last='Oglesby'] - Riverdale, [player_tooltip player_id='102247' first='Javoris' last='Havis'] - Chatt. Christian, [player_tooltip player_id='102183' first='Kevin' last='Bradley'] - Nash. Chrst., Jonah Chapman - Tyner Acad., Tory House - Mo-West   - You got a couple of strong names listed here with Wilson and Nevils but the two players to watch for that could have breakout weeks up in Clarksville are Scott and Oglesby. These are two high motor pass rushers that bring several good traits to the football field that collegiate coaches will like. Scott is currently committed to VMI while Oglesby is still searching for those college options.    LB's: [player_tooltip player_id='211373' first='Isaiah' last='Thomison'] - Fayetteville, [player_tooltip player_id='102293' first='Gavin' last='Noe'] - Anderson Co., [player_tooltip player_id='102229' first='Jerrell' last='Franklin'] - Oakland, [player_tooltip player_id='305696' first='Colin' last='Hurd'] - Page, [player_tooltip player_id='102170' first='Chase' last='Adams'] - Knox. Central, Manny Scott - Franklin Co.   - There are some high volume tacklers here with the main guys being Thomison (Committed to Memphis) and Noe (Committed to Navy) but the two guys who take their recruitment to another level with strong performances at the East/West Game are Franklin and Adams. These are two fast and active backers that have college traits and upside.    DB's: Jeremiah Collins, [player_tooltip player_id='201077' first='Eric' last='Taylor'] - Oakland, [player_tooltip player_id='232819' first='Na'Zaiyah' last='Holman'], [player_tooltip player_id='268149' first='NaShawn' last='Holman'] - Franklin Co., [player_tooltip player_id='301351' first='Javon' last='Drake'] - LaVergne, [player_tooltip player_id='241997' first='A.D.' last='Crutcher'] - Red Bank, [player_tooltip player_id='284468' first='Marcus' last='Lewis'] - Tyner Acad., Kaleb Flowers - Stone Memorial   - This is a very talented defensive backfield with several future college players listed. Collins is one of the best defensive back prospects in the state with a lot of versatility and athleticism. The Holman brothers are natural athletes that could really boost their stocks in a big way during their time in Clarksville. Drake is one of the more underrated DB prospects in the state who has size, length and 4.4 speed.    K/P: Ben Shrewsberry - Daniel Boone      West Team   <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/tnallstar/status/1585771879138148353?s=20&t=ZpPqoC_JT_3RJFZB65Fi0Q </div></figure>   QB's: [player_tooltip player_id='295457' first='Coby' last='Walton'] - Nolensville, [player_tooltip player_id='102210' first='Ryan' last='Damron'] - Henry Co., [player_tooltip player_id='102204' first='Devon' last='Crenshaw'] - Springfield   - A loaded quarterback room with three college prospects, Walton is the one guy booked for the college ranks (Committed to Ga Southern) but Damron and Crenshaw are still looking for homes. This All-Star could go a long way towards both those guys pushing their stocks further and eventually finding their college home.    RB's: [player_tooltip player_id='102344' first='Marquez' last='Taylor'] - McKenzie, [player_tooltip player_id='102218' first='Jamarion' last='Dowell'] - Covington, Stevin Mack - Hendersonville   - You want speed, Taylor and Dowell provide just that! Those two guys are probably two of the fastest running backs in the entire state but yet both are still uncommitted. Taylor is a Power Five guy with elite speed and athleticism while Dowell may be undersized but the dude is tough and can break off the big run anytime the ball touches his hands.    WR's: [player_tooltip player_id='151256' first='Demitrius' last='Bell'] - McGavock, [player_tooltip player_id='207352' first='London' last='Humphreys'] - CPA, [player_tooltip player_id='102226' first='Chance' last='Fitzgerald'] - Nolensville, [player_tooltip player_id='201101' first='Jamari' last='Person'] - Haywood, [player_tooltip player_id='203835' first='Boyce' last='Smith'] - Page, Frank Gordon - East Nashville, [player_tooltip player_id='205276' first='Tyler' last='Williams'] - Haywood   - This is the deepest and most talented position group on both All-Star rosters. Bell, Humphreys and Fitzgerald are Power Five guys with elite skill sets with Person right behind them as a current D1 offered guy and the upside to boost himself into a Power Five player. Smith is highly dependable and productive and way undervalued. Gordon and Williams are two strong, athletic guys with the East Nashville wideout providing electric athletic abilities.    TE's: [player_tooltip player_id='102187' first='Bo' last='Burklow'] - CPA, Tyshawn Tate - Whitehaven   - The West Roster has a pair of big and talented pass catchers at tight end in Burklow, who is headed to Coastal Carolina and Tate, who is an under the radar, late riser that has nice size at 6'5 215 pounds and the athletic abilities that translates well to the college game.    OL: [player_tooltip player_id='102206' first='Joe' last='Crocker'] - FRA, [player_tooltip player_id='228144' first='George' last='Steih'] - Franklin-Grace, [player_tooltip player_id='102225' first='Connor' last='Farris'] - Fairview, [player_tooltip player_id='284465' first='Braden' last='McCanless'] Crockett Co., [player_tooltip player_id='250838' first='C'Mariyun' last='Hayes'] - Haywood, [player_tooltip player_id='154348' first='Kyle' last='Duvall'] - Hendersonville, [player_tooltip player_id='309115' first='Zach' last='Smith'] - Munford, [player_tooltip player_id='102357' first='Devin' last='Williams'] - Germantown, Mason Swindle - Macon Co.   - This O-line is bookended by a pair of future Power Five tackles in Crocker and Steih, who both have high upside but the guys to watch in this contest, who could boost their recruiting stocks further are Hayes, Farris and Duvall. All three of those guys are interior O-line prospects that play consistent, steady ball on the inside that could turn their recruiting stocks from D2 prospects into FCS level guys.   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2021/12/bburklow.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-260258" width="321" height="321" /></figure>     DL: [player_tooltip player_id='150344' first='Nathan' last='Robinson'] - Greenbrier, [player_tooltip player_id='150365' first='Taylor' last='Wein'] - Nolensville, [player_tooltip player_id='242086' first='Tanner' last='Schuck'] - Ravenwood, [player_tooltip player_id='410569' first='Jaylon' last='Johnson'] - Cane Ridge, [player_tooltip player_id='237399' first='LaJairus' last='Abernathy'] - Pearl Cohn, [player_tooltip player_id='410045' first='Davis' last='Greene'] - Brentwood Acad., [player_tooltip player_id='102262' first='Jamarr' last='Jones'] - Pope Prep, [player_tooltip player_id='150336' first='Colton' last='Perry'] - Munford   - This is yet another loaded position group for the West Roster. You have a Power Five committed prospect in Robinson along with one of the hottest recruits at the moment in Wein. Schuck and Johnson are two of the more underrated defenders in this state from the senior class, who could seriously boost their stocks with great performances in Clarksville. Abernathy, Greene, Jones and Perry are all ranked inside the Top 30 D-lineman by #PRZTN with the possibility of moving up.    LB's: [player_tooltip player_id='150368' first='Tristan' last='Bohannon'] - Munford, [player_tooltip player_id='102338' first='Drake' last='Stollenwork'] - Ravenwood, [player_tooltip player_id='263681' first='Mahamadou' last='Diarra'] - Whitehaven, [player_tooltip player_id='317206' first='Deuce' last='Scott'] - Brentwood Acad., [player_tooltip player_id='257171' first='Isaiah' last='Spates'] - Germantown, [player_tooltip player_id='301335' first='Isaiah' last='Bell'] - Hillsboro   - The star to watch out of this group is Bohannon, who has seen his recruitment go to another level this season with several Power Five, D1 schools interested in him. Diarra is an active and smart backer who is currently committed to Alcorn St. Stollenwork and Spates are two guys who flash college abilities and could use this experience to boost their stocks even further.    DB's: [player_tooltip player_id='267061' first='Mose' last='Phillips III'] - Cane Ridge, [player_tooltip player_id='150379' first='A.C.' last='Mason-Young'] - Covington, [player_tooltip player_id='337227' first='Josh' last='Mailander'] - Pope Prep, DaJuan Sharp - Ensworth, Kion Threalkill - Germantown, [player_tooltip player_id='102197' first='Malachi' last='Clay'] - Lake Co.    - Phillips is the headliner of this group and someone that is seeing his recruitment go to new heights as recently he picked up an offer from Virginia. Covington has a stud in Mason-Young who has really flown under the radar most of the season but the dude is fast and talented. Mailander is a two-way prospect that will perform at safety in this game but personally, I like him at receiver. Clay is an under the radar, small school talent that could really boost his stock big time in front of college coaches during All-Star practice week.   K/P: Logan Leftrick - Springfield   <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2022/07/tbohannon.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-386475" width="348" height="348" /></figure>
