Success on the field and the hardwood - Part 2

Part four of my multisport series looks at some of the best senior football players who continue to dominate – not on the field, but on the hardwood. Passers and pass catchers dominate my second basketball installment. Basketball rankings again come from our sister site - <a href="https://prephoops.com/">prephoops.com</a>.   [player_tooltip player_id='112061' first='Cooper' last='Drews'] Princeton QB PRZ 107 PH 39   At 6'4” and 200 pounds, Drews is built like a prototypical college quarterback. His arm strength makes the college comparison work too. To start with, he is especially lethal in the middle of the field. While he is primarily a pocket passer, he has solid footwork and moves well to find space to throw – not usually to run. He will pull the ball down now and then, but Drews is looking to throw more than run. On the basketball court, he is a threat to put up a double, double most nights. The senior can run the fast break, set up his teammates, or be the finisher. He has excellent anticipation and hands on defense – getting deflections and an occasional steal.   [player_tooltip player_id='112058' first='Samuel' last='Musungu'] Andover WR PRZ 77 PH 47   There is not much to pick at when it comes to Musungu's game on the football field. He plays on the outside and in the slot. The senior has enough speed to beat defensive backs deep and just enough wiggle in his game to make people miss in the open field. He is one of those guys who don't blow defenders away with one aspect of his game – he simply does everything well. On the court, the Cornell football commit is most effective, using his athletic ability and strength to get in the lane and convert on the move.   [player_tooltip player_id='112080' first='Ot' last='Omot'] Park WR PRZ 160 PH 59   Omot has got to be one of the more explosive dunkers in the state. He attacks the rim both as a cutter and in the open court. He can handle the ball and knows what to do with it when he gets in the lane. Not just a one-trick pony, Omot is a solid rebounder and can shoot from the outside when the situation presents itself. While the senior is fearless in making a catch over the middle or on a bubble screen, Omot excels on the football field when he can use the skills that make him so effective on the hardwood. These include his length, hands, and explosive jumping ability to make contested catches down the field.   [player_tooltip player_id='112060' first='Cade' last='Osterman'] Elk River ATH PRZ 97 PH 93   2022's Mr. Football can also hold his own on the basketball court. He handles and distributes the ball effectively and has a solid pull-up and mid-range game. Osterman is a wizard on the football field with his hands and footwork from the quarterback position. His footwork usually is on display in the open field too. His cutback ability and straight-line speed made him a threat to take it the distance any time he kept the ball in the Elks' three back offense.   [player_tooltip player_id='295821' first='Jack' last='Spanier'] Rocori QB PRZ 147 PH 135   Another quarterback with great feet, Spanier is a nightmare for pass rushers. He moves around the pocket like a running back and has a big arm – with or without his feet being under him. With all his spectacular scrambling ability, Spanier from the pocket gets overshadowed by his highlight feet. Watching him play football, his ball skills on offense and defense – on the hardwood - came as no surprise. Defensively, he gets in passing lanes, and offensively, he has excellent range on his jump shot. As a guard, he is not just a perimeter player. He is a solid rebounding guard.   [player_tooltip player_id='212719' first='Ruhan' last='Jordan'] Eastview WR PRZ 162 PH 146   Jordan has quick feet on the hardwood – keeping defenders off balance. His feet make him a solid slasher and a tough one-on-one defender. He is a stat sheet stuffer – not putting up big numbers in any one category, but he will show up in the scorebook in almost every category. As a receiver, Jordan has the ability to find open space when running his routes. He was especially effective on crossing routes or when settling in a zone in the middle of the field. He also saw time as a defensive back and a kick returner.   Watch list players to watch this winter.   [player_tooltip player_id='313209' first='Kaiden' last='Peters'] Plainville-Elgin-Millville WR PH 51   [player_tooltip player_id='312925' first='Ben' last='Kopetzki'] Andover DB PH 56   [player_tooltip player_id='348624' first='Soren' last='Richardson'] Northfield QB PH 66   [player_tooltip player_id='313334' first='John' last='Mueller'] Watertown-Meyer WR PH 74   [player_tooltip player_id='313183' first='Kaden' last='Cook'] Park Center ATH PH 76   [player_tooltip player_id='313075' first='Anthony' last='Thorman'] Jefferson TE PH 84   [player_tooltip player_id='313282' first='Lawson' last='Godfrey'] St. Clair/Loyola WR PH 92   [player_tooltip player_id='348808' first='Jackson' last='Stewart'] Delano WR PH 101   [player_tooltip player_id='313119' first='Mason' last='Schirmer'] Maple River WR PH 108   [player_tooltip player_id='312952' first='Waziri' last='Lawal'] Breck WR PH 126   [player_tooltip player_id='313182' first='Joe' last='Burgess'] Park Center WR PH 130   [player_tooltip player_id='300761' first='Zack' last='Wells'] South Ridge RB PH 141
