Returning Impact Players: Mount St. Joseph

Moore is a tough, hard-nosed running back who runs with aggression and power. He rarely goes down on first contact, consistently fighting for extra yards. In congested areas, he keeps his legs churning, often creating big-play opportunities after initial contact. His physical running style and relentless effort make him a tone-setter out of the backfield.       Luke Pappas is a sure-handed possession receiver who brings versatility to the field, lining up both in the slot and on the outside. He excels at high-pointing the football and consistently plucks it out of the air with strong hands. Fearless over the middle, Pappas thrives in traffic and makes tough, contested catches through contact. With his reliable hands and toughness, he's poised to become a go-to target for Suffield Academy where he will be taking a post grad year.       Wilder is a shifty, explosive running back who showcases sharp footwork and sudden change-of-direction ability, consistently making defenders miss in open space. This season, he tallied over 230 rushing yards and scored two touchdowns, flashing big-play potential. As he continues to develop his skill set and with several senior offensive weapons graduating, expect Wilder's workload, and his impact, to increase significantly. He's a name to watch in the coming seasons.       Anderson capped off the season with three interceptions, flashing impressive range and ball skills from his safety position. On film, he consistently tracks the ball across the field, even from the opposite hash to the numbers, showcasing his instincts and closing speed to make plays in coverage.   Known for his lurking play style, Anderson thrives as a center fielder in the secondary. He covers a significant amount of ground in zone schemes, where his vision and anticipation allow him to read the quarterback and disrupt passing lanes. His ability to patrol deep zones makes him a valuable asset in any defensive system.   With his natural feel for the game and ability to create turnovers, expect Anderson to beat his interceptions stat next season.       Brooks flies around the second level like a missile, showcasing speed and physicality on every snap. He brings relentless aggression to his tackling, consistently wrapping up low and taking out the legs of ball carriers with precision. A sure tackler, Brooks rarely misses in the open field.   What sets him apart is his versatility. In addition to being a force in the run game, Brooks is highly active in pass coverage. He has the speed and athleticism to cover the flats and track down receivers after the catch, demonstrating a natural feel for reading plays and reacting quickly.   Only a sophomore, Cameron Brooks is already turning heads with his instincts and explosiveness. Expect him to make significant strides this offseason and emerge as one of the top young linebackers to watch.
