PRZVA Team Previews: Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Last Years Result: 1-9</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Head Coach Robert Holland knew the work he had cut out for him before he took the Osbourn Park job two years ago. The Yellow Jackets have fallen on hard times and have yet to finish above .500 in over a decade. Watching OP this off-season and the way they have bought in to Coach Holland's system, you honestly would not be able to tell they have been struggling. They also return some tough as nails linemen and have a handful of playmakers on the outside. Do not sleep on the Yellow Jackets this fall, they will make you pay.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Key Returnees:</strong> [player_tooltip player_id='1298519' first='Derron' last='Danquah'], [player_tooltip player_id='1699557' first='Arbnor' last='Morina'], [player_tooltip player_id='1664378' first='Jermaine' last='Keith'], [player_tooltip player_id='1624565' first='Ahmad' last='Bah'], Trystan Irving, [player_tooltip player_id='1298472' first='Jonathan' last='Bray'], [player_tooltip player_id='1643667' first='Jaxon' last='Edmonds']</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298519"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68838e3e61bb3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">As I told you after the Skyline Cup, [player_tooltip player_id='1298519' first='Derron' last='Danquah'] was a prime candidate to see a rankings boost and he earned his spot. I swear a week ago each time I watched the Yellow Jackets in their 7v7 matchups Danquah was finding a way to the football. He had a nice junior season which culminated in 31 receptions offensively, I expect more from him in his senior campaign. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/derrondanquah27/status/1948572787351626059","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/derrondanquah27/status/1948572787351626059 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1699557"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68838e3e61c5c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The big man in the middle [player_tooltip player_id='1699557' first='Arbnor' last='Morina'] is pushing heading into his final year with OP to get more offers to play at the next level. Morina has come back from injury with a purpose and looks like a completely different player from a year ago. He debuted in our 2026 class at 352 overall and 55th for his position, by the time his senior season ends he could be in the top 300. (Not sure if we will do another 2026 rankings update but you get the point) He will play center for the Yellow Jackets and can play guard in college too. Looks like a prime Division 2 possibly FCS player in my opinion, regardless you will see the positive change he has gone through over in Manassas. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1624565"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68838e3e61ce3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I remember last year when Coach Holland specifically mentioned [player_tooltip player_id='1624565' first='Ahmad' last='Bah'] having an impact as a freshman and he was right. Bah played a ton last year at running back and linebacker, proving he belonged at the varsity level early on. He is small powerful back with excellent vision and quickness. Rushing for over 100 yards in their shoutout against Unity Reed, Bah has a chance to be amongst the league leaders in rushing for 2025.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1664378"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68838e3e61d6b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">I missed [player_tooltip player_id='1664378' first='Jermaine' last='Keith'] when we posted the new 2028 class rankings this spring, I will assure you when we update this group he will be ranked! He is too talented to miss and he looks poised to be the next star in the Cedar Run district. Completely agree with Coach Holland's assessment below, after watching him last week, he is different.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/_Holland86/status/1917267981404418296","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/_Holland86/status/1917267981404418296 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1298472"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-68839a602b9d4"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1298472' first='Jonathan' last='Bray'] has been a three year starter for the Yellow Jackets and he finally got some recognition for his efforts with a second team all defensive selection. A tough undersized backer, Bray is an excellent tackler and has good coverage skills in space. With his absurd 4.2 GPA I don't know why several Division 3 schools will not be clamoring for him by seasons end. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1643667"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6883b4b18029b"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Before he got hurt [player_tooltip player_id='1643667' first='Jaxon' last='Edmonds'] was all over the field at linebacker and defensive end last year. I love his relentless motor and think he has potential to play at the next level. Edmonds is nearly 6' and 220 lbs. of muscle. When he closes in on the ball carrier you can see the aggression and passion play out. A real opportunity for our ranked 2026 prospect to get a couple of offers before his time as Osbourn Park is up.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/JEdmonds26/status/1856108016099090897","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/JEdmonds26/status/1856108016099090897 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Head Coach Robert Hollands thoughts on the off-season and expectations:</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><em>"I knew we had to create that dawg mentality this offseason.
