McGee is an all around athlete that is almost positionless. He can play multiple of different positions where he started the season last year on the edge at wide receiver, then had to play quarterback during an injury and finally moved to running back later in the season. He has an excellent feel for the game of football and is able to make plays all over the field. It is hard to classify him as just a running back as he has such a unique skill set when it comes to the game of football. Watch out for the senior as he will be in contention for every post season award.
Byington returns for his senior year with the same intentions as last to win a state championship and be the top rusher in the state of Idaho. He is unique for his position in the fact that for a runner of his bruising nature he is light on his feet with tremendous balance and vision. He catches the ball extremely well out of the back field and is able to ever split out in the slot to run routes. He is part of a two back monster at Meridian but dont be surprised to see him lead the Warriors in touchdowns this season.
Highlights
Robertson is your true mike linebacker with his ability to play tackle to tackle. Where he shines in his ability to read blocking schemes and react quickly through holes in the offense. He plays with tremendous speed and is more that just your typical box player as he can run down the outside zone or stuff a power play. He has the ability to cover backs out of the back field and even matchup with tight ends. He should be one of the states leading tacklers for sure this season.
Highlights
We cant say enough good things about the career that Mikita has had at Eagle. An all conference player and leader of the Eagle defense that might just be the best in the state this season. He has tremendous speed where he is able to play sideline the sideline and make tackles all over the field. What shows up the most is his football IQ where he is able to read and react to offenses almost like he is inside their huddle. He can play on the edge, bring pressure and match up with receiving threats. He is an all around outside linebacker and one of the top returners in the state.
