Fred Scott
Fred Scott
Scott will be one of the top returning D-linemen from last and should have a big impact upfront for his team going into this game. He is a run stuffer and is able to get off of blocks quickly to take the ball carrier down for no gain or behind the line of scrimmage. He is a player that is able to play multiple gaps and not get pushed back off of the ball. He will be someone to watch to stop this rushing attack for Northfield.
Kaden Reed
Kaden Reed
Reed is a backer that can play with some speed being able to come downhill quickly and meet the ball carrier in the hole to make a stop. He is able to use his leverage to take people down and not give up many yards when he makes contact. He will be key in using his vision to read and react to this running game for Northfield. He will be a player to watch for his impact on the interior in stopping the run.
Lee will have a big impact on both sides of the ball but it will be how he is able to affect the game on the offensive side against Northfield. He is a back that has the ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and can make the first defender miss in open space. He shows good vision being able to see cutback lanes and getting to the outside to pick up extra yardage. He is not someone who goes down easily so Northfield will have to rally to the football.
Christian Love
Christian Love
Love is a duel-threat QB that is able to make things happen with his legs and if he is allowed to escape the pocket can be elusive in the open field. He has a strong arm and can put it on the money on intermediate to deep passes. He will be a key player in this game for Northfield as he will need to get them started quickly against a tough defense. He will need to get his team off to a fast start in this game.
Easterly will be a key defender for Northfield as his ability to read and react will be one of major factors for this defense. He is quick to come downhill to make a play and can meet the ball carrier in the backfield bringing them down in a hurry. He has a good first step and can make it into the backfield to meet the RB right when they are getting the ball at times. He will be needed in the running game to stop George Washington’s explosive backs but he also shows the ability to drop back into coverage as well.
