Players to Watch to Start Season

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The high school football season kicks off in full force this week. The Lone Star state has plenty of prospects to keep an eye on to kick off of the season. We are going to look at several prospects to watch out for this week that have the potential to take over the game this week. It will be a busy week and we will go over primetime players for the week on Sunday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='584434' first='Bryan' last='Jackson']-Running Back-McKinney-6'2” 230-Pounds-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The McKinney running back is a good mix of power and speed. He has the ability to rip through tackles and get into the open field. Jackson has caught the eye of numerous college football programs. Jackson racked up the yardage a season ago and is expected to do the same this upcoming season. He rushed 1,647 yards and 24 touchdowns and is looking to surpass those numbers this season. Keep an eye on Jackson this weekend.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Kayvion Sibley-Running Back-Allen-5'11” 180-Pounds-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 5-6A District is loaded with talented running backs. Allen running back Kayvion Sibley does a great job of finding the rushing lanes. Sibley has a knack for making defenders miss and seems to have a nose for the football. He is a running back that just gets stronger as the game wears on into the fourth quarter. Sibley has the talent to put up some big numbers this week and it should be a strong season for the talented Allen running back.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='276130' first='Graham' last='Knowles']-Quarterback-Southlake Carroll-6'6” 215-Pounds-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='276130' first='Graham' last='Knowles'] can hurt the opposing defense with either his arm or his legs. Knowles is an accurate passer that does not have a problem fitting the ball into some tight windows. He has the arm strength to test the defense deep. Meanwhile, he is a quarterback that does an excellent job of using his legs to extend drives. Knowles is a quarterback that I expect to have a big season. He has the potential to put up some impressive numbers this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Hunter McFaul-Tight End-Argyle-6'3” 235-Pounds-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Argyle tight end is an impressive target in the passing game. McFaul does a great job of working his way open. He always seems to get open for his quarterback. McFaul is a dangerous target in the red zone for opposing defenses to account for. McFaul is a good blocker and will help spring his running backs into the second level. McFaul is a player that I expect to have a big season and he is a prospect to watch this week.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='270019' first='Colin' last='Simmons']-Defensive Line-Duncanville-6'2” 215-Pounds-2024</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>[player_tooltip player_id='270019' first='Colin' last='Simmons'] is a nightmare for opposing offenses to contend with. He has the speed and strength needed to get into the offensive backfield. Simmons can play all along the defensive front and even spend some time at the linebacker spot. Look for Simmons to have a disrupting influence this week to kick off the season. The future Longhorn has the potential to have a huge season for Duncanville.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
