I’m sure to see many more standouts come Friday, but for now, here are four prospects I’ll have my eye on for Ubly vs. Whiteford!
ATH | Evan Peruski | Ubly
This is the heart and soul of this Ubly team. He had four rushing touchdowns, 2 INTs (one went for 6 a few weeks ago against Fowler, and has been a force all season. He’s a prospect I’ve never even heard of, but there’s plenty of praise to go around from the local media. I expect big things from this two-way player in the finals, and I can’t wait to see what he can do at Ford Field.
LB | Aiden Mackowiak | Ubly
It was difficult to research Ubly, but Makcowiak is a name that kept popping up. He’s a real good linebacker who hits hard. On top of that, he serves as the defensive signal-caller. It’s obvious that Aiden is one of the leaders of the Ubly defense, and I’m excited to see what he can do this weekend!
DB/LB/QB | Shea Ruddy | Whiteford
I say DB/LB because, well, Whiteford’s opponents almost never pass. Being a key outside contain man, Ruddy is a sound tackler that always gets low. His ability to intercept the ball carrier and deliver a clean hit is extremely important in D8. In addition, Shea plays quite a bit of QB, as he’s a shifty dual-threat able to run and pass when he needs to.
DB | Ryin Ruddy | Whiteford
The Ruddy bros are going to be the focal points for Whiteford. Ryin, like Shea, is a sound tackler with good athleticism. He has a few highlights at DB, where he’s seen playing really good man coverage. This shows that Whiteford can defend the pass well and that both of the Ruddy’s are critical pieces.
