Predicting Every Team’s 2025 MVPs – Region III-3A

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mountain View Prep made an instant impact in its first season of football.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Stars went undefeated in Region III-3A. Led by running back <strong>Jaylen McGill</strong> and wide receiver <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1418192' first='Kadarus' last='Hainsworth']</strong>, they finished 12-1 and reached the third round of the Class 3A playoffs.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With All-State senior quarterback <strong>TJ Morris </strong>and running back <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1036753' first='Aiden' last='Gibson']</strong>, Woodruff placed second behind MVP. The Wolverines come back this year looking to avenge the 40-38 loss to the Stars last season.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Meanwhile, Union County, Chapman and Broome have its share of talented returning players. All three will look towards their potential team MVPs to help spark a turnaround.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Broome Centurians</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1592026' first='Tyqwon' last='Booker']</strong> RB, 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 6-foot, 160-pound rising senior had a productive first season. His 1,305 rushing yards and eight touchdowns earned him both All-Region and All-State honors. He's shifty running upward and eluding tacklers and turns on the speed when close to the endzone. With 2,000-plus passer <strong>Jameson Dearbury</strong> back, teams will have to concern themselves with both the Centurians air and ground attack.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/18259961/66de0dbb7b689fc70d708730' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6854ec6287ea4"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Chapman Panthers</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1732638' first='Khamari' last='Turner']</strong> DL, 2026</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, the rising junior disrupts offenses with his athleticism and persistence.

He also contributed on the ground and special teams.

He was a workhorse upfront dominating the middle of the field with 7.5 sacks and 58 total tackles. The 6-foot, 280-pound senior uses his size and quickness to overwhelm blocks enroute to making tackles. Should Davis provide the same impact defensively, this could give Union County an opportunity to compete with returning players on offense.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19728799/67acd0831f1f2ce04db64b09' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6854ec6287f24"} /--> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>Woodruff Wolverines</em></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1036753' first='Aiden' last='Gibson']</strong> RB, 2027</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With close to 2,000 total yards and 28 touchdowns last season, the All-State running back (pictured) was threat every time he touched the football.
