2025 Gems Who Stepped Up This Year

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These guys made a lot of people know who they are this year. They stepped up big when their team needed them. We don't get to talk about them a lot. These guys need more recognition. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">[player_tooltip player_id='652916' first='Kameron' last='Triplett'] </h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Triplett is a dog. He had 757 receiving yards this season for Louisville. That is saying a lot because Louisville spreads the ball around to their playmakers. Triplett did a great job of being a big target for his quarterback. He was always open when he really needed him. I love the way Triplett goes up to get the football. I think he is a division one receiver.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225039' first='Braishun' last='Forbes']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Forbes represents Murrah very well. I heard a lot about him this past summer. He did not let me down. Forbes went out there and made a lot of big plays for his team. He is another kid that knows how to go up and get the rock. His build is very nice and he looks like a stud on the field. This is a guy to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1127570' first='Travon' last='McDonald'] </strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>McDonald is going to be a dog next season. He stepped up big for Louisville this year. He is one of the most dominant players in this class. There is a lot that McDonald can do on the field. He has that energy that you need. He is going to be a defensive lineman on the next level, but he plays all over the field for Louisville besides skill positions on defensive and offensive line.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1225008' first='Trevionn' last='Morton']</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Morton did some big things for Jackson Wingfield this season. He is another player from the JPS that coaches need to know. Young man is about 6-foot-1, weighing around 185 pounds. I think he has a chance to be a safety or linebacker on the next level. I will be keeping up with him during his camp circuit this offseason. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Cayman Tapper</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I think that Tapper stepped up big for his squad this season. He was out there making big throws. He had 34 passing touchdowns this season. It was not hard for him to get the ball to his open receivers. This is a young man to know.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
