<p>When Pensacola Catholic held nearly a two-touchdown lead in the State 2S Semifinals at Bradford County, football fans across the state started to believe that this program was for real.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>In the 11-3 season, setbacks came to impressive programs, so many had an idea that when the playoffs began, head coach <strong>Matt Adams</strong> and his Crusaders could be a major obstacle. They were not wrong.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After losing to 11-1 Walton by two points on the road in October, this team went on a six-game winning streak, including victories against Tallahassee Florida High, Live Oak Suwannee and the same Walton team that had beaten them earlier.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Even though they would lose in overtime (22-21) on the road in Starke, this program left 2023 with a great feeling and plenty of respect from programs in its classification.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Despite losing some seniors, they knew that the junior class was indeed loaded and one of the strongest in the classification.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>That 2025 rising senior group starts this off-season with plenty of optimism.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Among that group includes <strong>Tucker Adams</strong> (QB, 5-11, 170), <strong>Bailey Brazell</strong> (OL, 6-4, 250), <strong>Lukas Brown</strong> (OL, 6-4, 285, 3.4 GPA), <strong>Kameron Dimmer</strong> (S, 5-10, 160, 3.3 GPA), <strong>Derion Gould</strong> (DL, 6-4, 250), <strong>Ramon Hearn</strong> (OL, 6-4, 313, 3.6 GPA), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1317535' first='Ryan' last='Huff']</strong> (QB, 6-4, 208), <strong>Chrissean Jones</strong> (CB, 5-11, 180) and gifted defensive lineman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1132465' first='Terius' last='Mason']</strong> (6-3, 275, 3.5 GPA).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The class also boasts <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='836526' first='Nigel' last='Nelson']</strong> (LB, 6-0, 210), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1002848' first='C.J.' last='Nettles']</strong> (RB, 5-9, 170), <strong>Jacob Radominski</strong> (OLB/RB, 5-7, 185, 3.7 GPA), <strong>Judas Salazar</strong> (OL, 6-2, 285, 3.4 GPA), <strong>Chad Schuka</strong> (CB, 5-7, 145. Lacrosse Prospect. 3.6 GPA), <strong>Josh Sluder</strong> (OL, 6-0, 280), <strong>Harrison Stanley</strong> (QB, 6-1, 180, 4.2 GPA) and offensive lineman <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='830604' first='Jeremy' last='Wassil'] (</strong>6-1, 305).</p>

<p><strong>THE FUTURE WILL BE FUN</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>As impressive as this rising 2025 class will be, keep an eye on the 2026 group that will have <strong>David Dortch</strong> (RB, 5-7, 155), <strong>Noah Hamlin</strong> (LB, 6-1, 205), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1266690' first='Trenton' last='Henderson']</strong> (Edge, 6-4, 215, 3.5 GPA) and athlete <strong>Justin Weatherall </strong>(5-11, 170).</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>The rising sophomore class (2027) is also expected to give this program a boost as well. Keep an eye on <strong>Geno Cunningham </strong>(WR, 5-8, 155, 3.5 GPA), <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='248505' first='Vaughn' last='Howard']</strong> (RB/LB, Baseball Prospect, 5-11, 185, 4.0 GPA) and versatile <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1671190' first='Otha' last='Thomas']</strong> (WR/DB, 6-1, 165).</p>
