first='Deacon' last='King'], who rushed for 160 yards and two total touchdowns in Week One.  We mentioned King as an electrifying playmaker with the ball in his hands, and Homestead learned that lesson the hard way.  King is committed to Northern Illinois.  Key to paving the way for him up-front is Kansas commit [player_tooltip player_id='1685769' first='Malachi' last='Mills'] and Ohio Bobcat commit Job Maverick.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

watch after a strong showing at his team's college day last spring.  Johnson has good top-end speed, is a tough runner and is a threat with the ball in his hands in space.  Against Fishers, he recorded 90 yards rushing and two touchdowns, turning in a great performance for a sophomore.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

in tackles with 10 and adding one sack and an interception to boot.  Agile and explosive, Fapetu can fly to the ball, wraps up on contact and is a great pass rusher.  He can also drop back in coverage and make plays on the ball.  Keep an eye on his recruitment.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block

first='Anthony' last='Coellner'] who had a strong performance of his own in the opener against Fishers, was a tackling machine last week, recording 15 tackles and showing tremendous range and athletic ability.  Coellner flashed being a great open-field tackler who can run, deliver big hits and square up in space.  Don't be shocked if his recruiting picks up with more performances like last Friday.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
