<p class="text-gray-700">East End Prep has a leader in [player_tooltip player_id='1544199' first='Sinclair' last='Johns']. They have won a third consecutive Davidson County Charter School League Championship in football. This is not by mistake, when you have #10 starting at Quarterback and Linebacker. Johns is an instinctual backer with aggression to the point of contact. He is strong, smart, and plays very fast. Once he sees ball, he hits whoever is holding it with bad intentions. I like how he moves in space when away from the ball as well. A lot of upside to this kid as both a Southpaw QB and playmaking LB. "Special" is a common term I hear used for Sinclair.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Caden has already been selected to the Centennial Bank West TN Middle School All-Star game with leading his team to an undefeated season. He played the linebacker possible like a natural. Shoots gaps with no delay, and keeps feet moving on contact. If shutting out Huntington in the championship isn't enough, Caden's team help opponents to 67 points total for the whole season. I guarantee you Mr. Lecornu has a lot to say about that.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Lucas is a sure tackler with good size at LB. He finishes plays and is a disrupter out the gate. Running backs make sure they know where he's lined up, because it's not good if he has time to read backfield mesh points. I also like the motor Lucas plays with. Nothing is out of his range of pursuit. His team has made it to the conference finals four years in a row. Needless to say he was also named an All-Conference player.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1544215' first='William' last='Soto'] is a proven champion. Coming off a nail biting win that went to overtime four times, he was part of the glue this year. Being named to All-Conference and Defensive POY is nothing to turn your nose up at. Soto is a thick head banger that doesn't blink when in the smoke. Uses hands well and can get off blocks closer to the line of scrimmage. A good run stopper especially in short yardage or goal line. </p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Brandon steps on the field with confidence at linebacker because he can move around well no matter where he aligns at the start of the play. Inside or outside LB doesn't stop him from creating chaos. I like how his pads stays square as much as possible on contact and he hits on a rise. Shoots from the hips and has good feet in space. Will only continue to get better.</p>
