Top Defensive Performances From Round Four

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're getting closer and closer to the end of the high school football season and we have our top four set with two more weekends left.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The best of the best are standing out among the rest and multiple impressive defenders came up big once again in round three. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Who were they? Let's take a look...</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='321464' first='Zayden' last='Walker'] - Schley County</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>One of the top overall 2025 prospects not only in Georgia, but across the country, Walker put on a 5-star performance in round three, leading Schley County to a massive 55-23 win over Wilcox County. Walker did a little bit of everything in the game, making big plays both on offense and defense. He was a factor at running back, rushing for 53 yards and one touchdown, but his defensive performance proved why he has 5-star potential in the 2025 class. The 6-foot-3 220-pounder made four tackles, has two QB hurries, one sack, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery that he took back for a big 37-yard touchdown. He's absolutely one of the best athletes in South Georgia and proved why on Friday night.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Koby Sakyi - Roswell </strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>A breakout defender in the 2025 class, the athletic defensive lineman is a big-time athlete who continues to learn and develop week after week. He's got better as thee season has moved along and appears to have a an extremely high ceiling as a disruptive EDGEe defender. Just a sophomore, Sakyi has dominated at times this season and showed big-play ability once again during Roswell's big 42-34 win over Thomas County Central on Friday night. The 6-foot-3 125-pound defender was all over the field in the victory, making 14 tackles, 2 TFLs and one sack. Look for his stock to soar this off-season. He'll quickly climb recruiting boards for college coaches in the 2025 class after a massive sophomore season. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Tyson Brown Jr - Rome</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Thee Rome Wolves are always fighting for a state championship and they're in the running once again in 2022. A tough, talented program with winning DNA, the Wolves have been terrific on defense this year and had another dominating defensive performance this past weekend against Marist in a big 17-7 win. Senior defender Tyson Brown Jr, a versatile EDGE/OLB, had a monster game against Marist, making 11 tackles, 4 TFLLs, and two sacks in the victory. When the Wolves needed a big stop, Brown Jr was always there to make a big play. He was all over the field and a big reason why Rome's defense dominated all game long. He absolutely deserves credit for Rome's big win, giving one of the top defensive performances across the state.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Trajen Greco - Mill Creek</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Mill Creek Hawks are on a roll and have a real chance of winning the 7A title this year. A big reason why is the play of their defense, and they might have the best defensive backfield left in the playoffs. Everyone knows about five-star [player_tooltip player_id='34015' first='Caleb' last='Downs'], but junior DB Trajen Greeco is a standout defender in the secondary as well. In a big win over Westlake, Greco had two INTs and three more pass-breakups, helping shut down a very dependable and explosive Westlake offense. He's a big-play waiting to happen in the secondary and will have a giant matchup this weekend against Milton.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
