Carmel, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Keya is a fast edge rusher currently ranked No. 40 overall by Prep Redzone. He is the sixth-ranked defensive lineman in his class. He can play on the line or as an outside linebacker. His speed is what makes him a difference-maker on defense. He finishes tackles and can play solid pass defense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='733500' first='Bravin' last='Powell']</strong>, ATH, 6'2”, 175, Gardner-Edgerton, ‘25</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Powell can play multiple positions and has a nice arm when he takes snaps at quarterback. He is currently ranked No. 38 overall and as the fifth-ranked athlete. Powell has a nice touch on the deep ball and the speed to be a threat with his legs. He has the athleticism to move play defensive back or wideout if a college program wants to move him.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='595717' first='Ja'Marcus' last='Vornes']</strong>, WR, 6'0”, 170, Junction City, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Vornes is currently ranked No. 27 overall in the class of 2026. Prep Redzone has him ranked as the No. 1 wide receiver. Junction City's program is one I have a ton of respect for and the Bluejays produce college talent. Vornes runs tight routes and can beat defenders deep. He also had a solid 7v7 season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='904472' first='Bailey' last='Johnson']</strong>, OL, 6'1”, 305, Lawrence, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Johnson is a tough-nosed guard and a leader on the Lions' offensive line. Prep Redzone has him currently ranked No. 39 overall and the sixth-ranked o-lineman. He has strong legs and moves well. He has the speed to be a dangerous lead block when pulling. His pass protection is solid and Johnson plays withgreat pad level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='904449' first='Tremaine' last='Savage']</strong>, DB, 5'10”, 150, Highland Park, ‘26</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Highland Park was the one Topeka program I was unable to watch play last season. I look forward to trying to catch the Scots in the fall of 2024 along with their ranked defensive back. Savage is ranked No. 100 overall and is the sixth-ranked defensive back He can play a corner or safety. He could also be an impact athlete on special team units.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
