So far, you have seen our first 5 All-State Teams in the new classification breakdown in North Carolina. This process has not been easy, and there are a lot of deserving players who may not necessarily be named to these teams, but the ones that are absolutely deserve it. So, let's get comfortable and take a look at the 6A Classification All-State Team by Prep Redzone North Carolina.

QB - [player_tooltip player_id='1228977' first='Chance' last='Cato'] - Olympic

QB - [player_tooltip player_id='1600380' first='Noah' last='Lineberry'] - Sun Valley

RB - [player_tooltip player_id='1346327' first='Jayson' last='Franklin'] - 71st

RB - [player_tooltip player_id='1277000' first='Damonte' last='James'] - Central Cabarrus

WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1665255' first='Kamren' last='Freeman'] - Northern Nash

WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1678654' first='Nana-Kwabena' last='Mensah'] - Berry

WR - [player_tooltip player_id='1600212' first='William' last='Vaughn'] - Kings Mountain

TE - [player_tooltip player_id='1644371' first='Hayne' last='Tobias'] - Union Pines

OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1254553' first='Jonathan' last='Moore'] - Ashbrook

OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1604115' first='James' last='Han'] - Middle Creek

OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1050590' first='Charles' last='Doyle'] - Vance County

OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1701319' first='Leo' last='Phillips'] - Mount Tabor

OL - [player_tooltip player_id='1158281' first='Micah' last='Martin'] - Southeast Guilford

All Purpose - [player_tooltip player_id='1607877' first='Vermont' last='Carmack'] - Dudley

Flex - [player_tooltip player_id='1169882' first='Zach' last='Cullen'] - Sun Valley

Analysis - Offensively, we start with two quarterbacks who are known for making big plays in the passing game, with [player_tooltip player_id='1228977' first='Chance' last='Cato'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1600380' first='Noah' last='Lineberry'], who are also leaders for their respective teams. [player_tooltip player_id='1346327' first='Jayson' last='Franklin'] and [player_tooltip player_id='1277000' first='Damonte' last='James'] will carry the load offensively for their teams this year with great talent and speed in the open field. The wide receiving trio of Freeman, Kwabena-Mensah, and Vaughn are proven big-time playmakers on the outside that can dominate the game against single coverage. Tobias at Union Pines is an all-around threat at the tight end spot, who can catch and be an efficient blocker in the running game. Our offensive line is an impressive group that can move the line of scrimmage in the running game and give us time to go downfield throwing the ball. [player_tooltip player_id='1607877' first='Vermont' last='Carmack'] from Dudley can play almost anywhere on both sides of the ball with electric speed and athleticism, and [player_tooltip player_id='1169882' first='Zach' last='Cullen'] will be able to be a strong runner, while also playing some linebacker on the defensive side of the ball.

Defense

EDGE - [player_tooltip player_id='933255' first='Semaj' last='Odems'] - Kings Mountain

EDGE - [player_tooltip player_id='1663952' first='Davis' last='Prichard'] - Middle Creek

DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1368127' first='Dominic' last='Basrawala'] - Charlotte Catholic

DL - [player_tooltip player_id='1408808' first='John' last='Archer'] - 71st

LB - [player_tooltip player_id='1246060' first='Caleb' last='Gordon'] - Ashbrook

LB - [player_tooltip player_id='1393063' first='Robert' last='McCollum'] - Dudley

LB - [player_tooltip player_id='1169874' first='Brandon' last='Creech'] - Sun Valley

DB - [player_tooltip player_id='1671090' first='Miles' last='Smith'] - Berry

DB - [player_tooltip player_id='1671906' first='Gaven' last='Kraut'] - Terry Sanford

DB - [player_tooltip player_id='887866' first='Domonic' last='Williams Jr'] - Jacksonville

DB - [player_tooltip player_id='1610634' first='Kenyan' last='White'] - Olympic

Flex - [player_tooltip player_id='1693969' first='Makijah' last='Latiker'] - 71st

Analysis - Odems and Prichard are talented guys off the edge who can pressure the quarterback, along with holding up against the outside running game. There is some versatility in [player_tooltip player_id='1368127' first='Dominic' last='Basrawala']'s game, where he can penetrate gaps up front, while Archer will require consistent double teams to open things up for his teammates. Our linebackers in Gordon, McCollum, and Creech are all 3-down guys who can get to the ball with sideline-to-sideline ability. Our defensive backs I think are a little under the radar from a name perspective, but Smith, Kraut, and White all have multiple offers to play college football. [player_tooltip player_id='887866' first='Domonic' last='Williams Jr'] has been highly regarded already in his career as well as a 2028 prospect. From our flex position, [player_tooltip player_id='1693969' first='Makijah' last='Latiker'] has the talent to play anywhere on the defensive front and has a ton of college recruiting interest and offers.
