Elijah Cannon Elijah Cannon 6’1″ | 210 lbs | LB Alcoa | 2024 State TN was quite impressive in week 3 for Alcoa High School. He showcased amazing versatility on the defensive side of the ball. He was involved on multiple plays in the backfield either blitzing from off-ball LB or winning from the edge. His sacks came from both alignments. Cannon is a very intelligent football player showing a great mix of aggressiveness and patience. Good ability to stack and track vs the run, he processed and understands where he needs to be.
Highlights
Tyler Mann
Tyler Mann
Tyler Mann was flying around the field in his matchup against Lenoir City High School. He finished the game with 16 tackles with 3 being for a loss and 1 sack. His instincts stood out versus the run with his ability to sift through the trash and read run concepts. Mann displayed a very good understanding of his run fits and was consistently getting to spots before OL could climb to him at the second level.
Hayden Warwick Hayden Warwick 6’3″ | 280 lbs | OL Carter | 2025 State TN was bullying defenders versus Gatlinburg-Pittman upon their front 7. He created lanes by displacing defensive tackles with good strength and hand usage. Warwick displays overall solid technique with a nice base and burst off the line while combing good hand placement, leg drive and hip torque to create running lanes. He sustains blocks very well and helped pave the way for his running backs.
Josiah Featherstone Josiah Featherstone 5’9″ Red Bank | 2025 TN showed great explosiveness in week 3 having 177 yards on 16 carries for 2 rushing touchdowns. He is a decisive runner with great vision that can create plays with elusiveness. When he hit the hole, the burst he showed was ridiculous. Featherstone plays bigger than his size with nice contact balance with quick feet to accelerate after colliding with defenders.
