7 Offensive Breakout Players in Alabama

Who are some of the breakout players in Alabama this year on offense? I've got you covered with 7 names that are lighting up the stat sheet.    Antorious Johnson has fully broken onto the varsity scene as a senior and is making plays with both his arm and his legs. He is amongst the state leaders in passing with 2279 and has tacked on just less than 250 rushing yards with 8 TDs. Johnson frequently gets to use his legs on roll-out opportunities. He is mobile within the pocket, making subtle movements to climb the pocket and evade pressure. He has good vision in the open field as a runner, locating and taking advantage of cut-back lanes. Thanks to his stout frame, he can drop a shoulder and finish runs with violence if needed. His pocket presence looks good. He plays with good pace and doesn't appear rattled when having to work off-platform and past his first read. Arm strength is still developing, but he frequently makes impressive touch throws and works with good timing over the middle of the field. Johnson is an intriguing late-bloomer.     [player_tooltip player_id='1529183' first='Noah' last='Dobbins'] is an athletic signal-caller who has been an efficient playmaker this year for a playoff-bound Hewitt-Trussville team. He is on the smaller side, but his multi-sport background with basketball and track offers valuable athletic context. He is a bit unorthodox as a passer with a dramatic hitch in his throwing motion, but he frequently muscles the ball into tight windows. He looks very comfortable when working off-platform and has good vision when rolling out, finding receivers cutting back over the middle of the field. He can mix up pace and touch on the ball to make different throws. There are certainly some "wow" throws on his senior tape. He is a gifted runner who is averaging over 6 yards per carry this year. He is explosive enough to hit running lanes hard and has enough speed to make plays in the open field when needed. He isn't just a chain-mover with his legs.     [player_tooltip player_id='1610270' first='Kaleb' last='Freeman'] played sparingly on varsity as a freshman, but he has fully taken over QB1 duties as a sophomore and is one of the most productive passers in the state. Sophomore tape is hard to find, but his baseball and basketball multi-sport background gives indications of athleticism. Freshman tape shows a wiry QB with a long delivery, cutting through the ball. The fastball pops on tape, and will likely be his selling point as a prospect as he continues adding more strength.     [player_tooltip player_id='1610264' first='Landyn' last='Smith'] is a smaller QB who played with excellent gamesmanship as a sophomore. Smith has done nothing but find the endzone this year while protecting the ball, throwing 28 TDs against just 2 INTs. Despite his smaller frame, he has some buzz in his arm. Even when hanging back on his back foot, he can rip through the ball and attack tighter windows in the intermediate range. Touch on his deep ball at times is beautiful, lofting it with plenty of air and getting it to turn over into the bread basket of receivers. Smith has clean mechanics in the pocket, surveying the field while staying quick on his feet. He is capable of making the big play but isn't afraid to tone it down and take the easy yards with the check down.     [player_tooltip player_id='1517082' first='Jayden' last='Griffin'] has put himself in a rare category his senior season by rushing for over 1200 yards on the year. He has done it without a super high amount of carries as well, rushing for over 12 yards per carry. Griffin is explosive and has the speed to run away from his current level of competition. It's his vision and patience that ties everything together. He locates cutback opportunities at a high level and has enough change of direction to take advantage of them. Griffin is speedy and stays away from contact, although he welcomes it when needed. It's hard to believe Griffin won't get an opportunity at the next level as he is one of the most prolific rushers in the entire country.     [player_tooltip player_id='1585806' first='Diego' last='Bryant'] is a short, stout RB prospect who has shot onto the radar seemingly out of nowhere this year. He has an impressive multi-sport background with good metrics on the baseball field. He plays with his hand in the dirt in a wishbone offense, meaning most of his production comes between the tackles. He is explosive, quickly getting into the second level. He possesses the speed to outrun defenders as well. He maximizes all his traits by running very hard, lowering his shoulder upon contact to drive through defenders and stay on his feet. Bryant is a prolific runner with some athletic indicators.     [player_tooltip player_id='1471293' first='Kena' last='Rego'], who hails from Hawaii, is in the midst of a breakout junior season and is one of the most prolific WRs in the state. Rego is a brilliant route runner who creates separation at all levels with ease. He relies on subtle head nods and should fakes to get DBs guessing when flying downfield on the deep ball. He works fluid releases at the line, which knocked one defender to the turf on tape. He flashes good speed and solid explosiveness, but it's his deception and unpredictability in 1 v 1's that keeps him tough to stay with. Rego tracks the ball well and is capable of plucking the ball off the turf or over his head, maximizing his catch radius. Rego still has another year of development left in the tank. Based off his tape, there should be some D1 buzz here.
