The McCluer North Stars opened it's 2025 season against Chaminade on Saturday. Here is a look at their impact players who stood out I saw from the sidelines.   [player_tooltip player_id='1667676' first='Malik' last='Carroll'] - RB 2027 One of the hardest runners in the St. Louis area kept that reputation on Saturday as he hit the openings his O-line gave him quickly and at top speed, and kept his legs churning on contact. The end result was helping to keep his team in the game and scoring a touchdown in the process. What the 5'6" Carroll lacks in height he makes up for with quickness, vision and strength. He also possesses solid speed and acceleration.   Quacey Hughes - LB 2026 The college linebacker prospect is one of the best in state in his class, and while the Red Devils ran away from him the majority game, he still used his speed and athleticism to make the plays he did. Hughes can cover a lot of ground in a hurry from sideline to sideline, rush the quarterback, and drop into pass coverage as well.   Donovan Hall - OT 2026 A massive 6'5" 300 offensive tackle who is under the radar of colleges, but who you can tell has the goods to play college football with the proper dedication and if he's given the opportunity. For 300 pounds he is quick off the ball and has good drive on his run blocks showing strength and power. He moves well and has good feet in his pass pro along with good hands.   [player_tooltip player_id='1600985' first='Jaxyn' last='Buckley'] - DB 2028 This speedy defensive back is a name to remember for the future. A varsity contributor before being injured, Buckley had a great offseason and looks ready to have a breakout regular season with his speed and playmaking cover skills. He is also physical and plays well against the run.   Kareem Goodrich - WR/KR 2027 He took the opening kickoff to the house for the first score of the game showcasing some great vision, quick twitch change of direction and speed. Besides his nice return skills he showed all game long, he also has playmaking ability as a receiver and can be a threat in space and hard to catch in the open field
