Rushing 19 carries for 178, and 3 TDs. While it wasn't a big day passing for Wherling, he did have a big day on the ground. He showed a nice combination of power and speed. His biggest play came on a keeper that he took 70 yards for the touchdown.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline">Wide Receiver</span></strong><br><br><strong>2026 [player_tooltip player_id='1297759' first='Joseph' last='Saffold'] (Glenville) 6'1 185-</strong> 3 catches, 76 yards, and a TD.

McFadden has great length, showed an ability to get open, and is a hands catcher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"fontSize":"medium"} --> <p class="has-medium-font-size"><br><span style="text-decoration: underline"><strong>Running Back</strong></span><br><br><strong>2026 John Silvestro (Kirtland) 6'0 180-</strong> 19 carries, 256 yards, and 4 TDs. Silvestro had the biggest weekend of any offensive player during the state championships. He was a big play waiting to happen any time he touched the ball. He showed the burst to hit the hole hard and the speed to make chunk plays in the open field. He can also make the first guy miss.<br><br><strong>2026 Romell Phillips (Glenville) 5'9 165-</strong> Phillips may not be the biggest back, but pound for pound he packed a punch. He was a good blend of elusive and physicality.
