Still catching up on some practice quick notes from last week. This time I am looking at the Omaha Central Eagles. The Eagles are going through quite a few changes this season with a new coaching staff and an influx of talent as a result of transfers. I’ve had the opportunity to watch Omaha Central a few times this season, but mostly in 7v7 competition. There is plenty of talent on this team, both young and experienced players. I believe this is a team that could open some eyes this season and make a strong push for the playoffs.
– Get ready for a breakout season from QB BJ Newsome BJ Newsome 5'11" | 185 lbs | QB Omaha Central | 2026 State NE . The sophomore gunslinger is someone I’ve kept a close eye on this offseason and can see the progression in his development. His mobility looks a lot better. Newsome is making smart decisions with the ball and delivering it accurately.
– Skill positions are a strength, especially at WR and DB. Senior DJ Sterling DJ Sterling 6'0" | 160 lbs | ATH Omaha Central | 2024 State NE is looking to cap off his productive prep career with a solid senior season. His primary focus will be on the defensive side of the ball, but you could expect to see him on offense in certain situations. I’m excited to see sophomore DaShawn Prince DaShawn Prince 6'3" | 180 lbs | WR Omaha Central | 2026 State NE back on the field after missing the majority of his freshman campaign to injury. Seniors Andrew & Jordan Brown Jordan Brown 6'0" | WR Omaha Central | 2024 State NE , Daniel Lemi Daniel Lemi 5'10" | 145 lbs | DB Omaha Central | 2024 NE , Juniors Anthony Liggins Anthony Liggins DB Omaha Central | 2025 State NE , Aamir Hill Aamir Hill ATH Millard South | 2025 State NE , Andre Bolton, Marcellous Lloyd Marcellous Lloyd WR Omaha Central | 2025 State NE , Sophomore DeAnthony Dial DeAnthony Dial 5'11" | 160 lbs | DB Omaha Central | 2026 State NE , and Freshman Tory Pittman III Tory Pittman III 6'0" | 180 lbs | ATH Omaha Central | 2027 NE are all players who should contribute in 2023.
– The front seven is going to be solid. Senior LB Kevon Newsome Kevon Newsome 6'1" | 215 lbs | LB Omaha Central | 2024 State NE led Class A defenders with 130 tackles, 10 TFLs, three sacks, and three interceptions. Fellow LB Jaden Griffin Jaden Griffin 5'9" | 175 lbs | ATH Omaha Central | 2025 NE has had a solid summer and has looked good as an off-ball ‘backer in 7v7 games. Seniors Bryce Lytle Bryce Lytle DL Omaha Central | 2024 NE and Marlon Jones Marlon Jones 6'7" | 225 lbs | DL Omaha Central | 2024 NE are very lengthy and athletic edge rushers who could be major breakout candidates.
– The Eagles group of big men is an impressive bunch with a Power 5 commit and tons of up-and-coming underclassmen. The headliner is Illinois commit Caleb Pyfrom Caleb Pyfrom 6'6" | 300 lbs | OL Omaha Central | 2024 State NE who will play a key part in protecting QB Newsome. Some players to watch out for in the trenches are seniors Aiden Sturek, Ronnie Graham, and Bryor Sherman Bryor Sherman 6'1" | 285 lbs | OL Omaha Central | 2024 NE , juniors Mason Sanden Mason Sanden 6'3" | 265 lbs | OL Omaha Central | 2025 State NE , Jason Traylor Jason Traylor 5'11" | 305 lbs | OL Omaha Central | 2025 State NE , and sophomore Jerry Jackson Jr. Jerry Jackson Jr. 6'0" | DL Omaha Central | 2026 State NE
– Bold Prediction: Juniors Alijah Wayne Alijah Wayne 6'4" | 225 lbs | ATH Omaha Central | 2025 State NE and Ike Ackerman Ike Ackerman 6'3" | 215 lbs | ATH Omaha Central | 2025 State NE emerge as D1 prospects with their first offers this season.
