2024 5’11 190 RB – Da’juan Riggs Da’juan Riggs 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB St. Johns | 2024 State MD – St. John’s – Oregon
In a big time conference win for St. John’s, Oregon commit Da’juan Riggs Da’juan Riggs 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB St. Johns | 2024 State MD demonstrated exactly why he’s headed to Eugene next Fall. Riggs carried the ball 10 times for 56 yards, but he also contributed to both the passing and receiving games for the Cadets as well. He completed his only pass of the day for 5 yards, and he also made 5 receptions for 134 yards and 1 touchdown. It’s abundantly clear that Da’juan Riggs Da’juan Riggs 5'11" | 190 lbs | RB St. Johns | 2024 State MD is one of the most well-rounded players in the WCAC, and his dominant presence in the backfield absolutely keeps St. John’s in the championship conversation this year. Riggs and the Cadets kickoff against the DeMatha Stags this Friday in their most important game of the season, and there’s no doubt in my mind that, even against a formidable DeMatha defense, Riggs will find a way to make an impact on this contest.

2027 6’0 180 DB – Tyric Powell Tyric Powell 5'11" | 195 lbs | ATH St. John's College | 2027 State MD – St. John’s
On Saturday, Freshman phenom Tryic Powell proved that he can shine in the most competitive high school football conference in America. Powell hauled-in an interception and ran it back into the end zone to extend the lead to 17-0 for the Cadets, and this spectacular play ultimately secured the victory for them. It’s absolutely incredible that Powell made such an impact on this game at such a young age, and he now must be viewed as one of best DBs in the 2027 class. Tyric Powell Tyric Powell 5'11" | 195 lbs | ATH St. John's College | 2027 State MD and the entire St. John’s defense face a very difficult task this Friday in the DeMatha Stags’ offense, however, there’s no better way to test yourself than against elite competition. It will be exciting to watch Powell and how he handles his matchups against some of the top receivers in the WCAC. Tyric Powell Tyric Powell 5'11" | 195 lbs | ATH St. John's College | 2027 State MD should most definitely be in consideration for the conference’s Rookie of the Year Award.

2024 6’1 190 LB – Shamar Mcintosh Shamar Mcintosh 6'1" | 190 lbs | DB St. Johns | 2024 State MD – St. John’s
Shamar Mcintosh Shamar Mcintosh 6'1" | 190 lbs | DB St. Johns | 2024 State MD continued his fantastic season in St. Johns’ victory over Bishop McNamara. He made the Play of the Game with an opening drive safety for the Cadet defense, and his off the charts effort sparked yet another impeccable performance by the SJC defensive unit. McIntosh is playing like the top uncommitted prospect in the DMV area right now, and he has an incredible chance to showcase his next level skills this Friday in a huge rivalry game versus 6-1 DeMatha. Scouts must treat McIntosh’s recruitment with the utmost seriousness, because I believe he is a program changing player at the collegiate level.
