Witherspoon is a complete back that is explosive with the ball in his hands. At 5’10” 165 lbs. he shows he can pick up tough yards between the tackles, turn the corner to the perimeter, and catch the ball out of the backfield. He’s a dynamic athlete that flashes high-level burst, open field elusiveness, and the long speed to break away from defenders. His short area quickness and change of direction allows him to make sudden lateral cuts to make defenders miss. Plus natural ball carrier instincts to see angles and attack tight running lanes, like his spatial awareness of where defenders are on the field. He’s got room and time to add weight/strength to his frame without sacrificing speed or quickness. Just transferred to O’Dea where he will be one of the top 2026 backs in the state and continue to climb rankings and recruiting boards.

At 6’0” 175 lbs. Morgan is a savvy athlete that can make plays lined up on the outside or in the slot. Possesses a good mix of natural and technical ability to get clean releases and be a creative route runner. He’s got a strong drive phase off the ball to eat up the DB’s cushion and has the down field speed to run by coverage. Does a good job tracking and adjusting to ball flight using his body control and coordination to attack the ball at the catch point. Really excels after the catch and in space where he can use his elusiveness and plus lateral quickness to make defenders miss. Like his ability to attack and create separation at all three levels. Aggressive stalk blocker that shows effort and willingness to be physical and sustain a block in space.
A lot to like about Arnautovic’s size, length, and skillset. At 6’4” 280 lbs. he’s an aggressive and tough blocker that is a violent finisher. Can really overpower opponents with his strength at the POA and ability to drive his feet through contact to finish them to the ground. Shows plus athleticism in his mobility and footwork to the second level and in space. Can match movement laterally and adjust with good balance and body control. Love his physicality and ability to use his hands to latch on and sustain his block through the whistle. Also played and was effective playing defensive line as a sophomore. Possesses all the traits you look for in a D1 lineman and should see a bump in his recruitment as he’s able to showcase his skillset.
