Queen City Senior Bowl – East Team Standouts
In this article:
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The Queen City Senior Bowl is an annual All-Star game featuring 80 of the best players in the Charlotte Metro Area. This year, players came from a record 8 counties - Mecklenburg, Union, Cabarrus, Gaston, Cleveland, Lincoln, Iredell, and Stanly counties. The West Team ended up winning this year's edition of the game 21-14 for a 3-2 all-time series lead. However, there were impressive players on the East team that we want to highlight in the last game of their high school careers. </p>

<p><strong>Christyan Washington - Forest Hills - Wide Receiver - Offensive MVP </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>With 4 catches (including a one-handed catch) for over 100 yards and a touchdown, Christyan was named overall Offensive MVP for the bowl game. He repeatedly was able to get open using excellent footwork and great speed. He is committed to playing at Charleston Southern University on the next level. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='429230' first='Jay' last='Jackson'] - North Stanly - Defensive End/Running Back</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jay scored a rushing touchdown from 8 yards out in the first half showing his overall physicality and versatility to do several things on the football field. With his size/speed combination, Jay has continued to receive college interest from multiple schools. He is not committed to a school on the next level at this time. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='688287' first='Sammy' last='Washington'] - Butler - Cornerback </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Sammy got the Queen City Senior Bowl off with a bang, intercepting a potential touchdown pass for the West Team in the end zone, setting the tone for an exciting, back-and-forth matchup. Sammy has several offers to play football at the next level, however, he has not committed to a school at this time. </p>

<p><strong>Jatavien Taylor - Porter Ridge - Linebacker </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Coming into this game, Jatavien started to see his recruiting pickup with offers from Winston-Salem State and Fayetteville State coming in after being named to play in the bowl game. Jatavien was all over the field, making tackles and breaking up passes for the East defense. He has not committed to a school at this time. </p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='286219' first='Steven' last='Muin'] - Rocky River - Defensive End </strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Forcing at least two turnovers from his defensive end spot, Steven had a strong showing for himself against some really good players. He received an offer from Louisburg the week of the bowl game, and they observed him at practice. With his size and skill set, I think a school could get a steal with this young man. He has not committed to a school at this time. </p>
