Trashawn Manson Trashawn Manson 6'1" | 160 lbs | DB/WR Louisburg | 2027 State NC is a two-way playmaker for Louisburg who brings plenty of athleticism to both sides of the football, but I believe his highest ceiling at the next level is in the secondary. His experience at wide receiver translates directly to defensive back, giving him a natural understanding of routes, leverage, and how receivers attack coverage. Manson has the movement skills and ball skills to develop into a legitimate college defensive back, while his offensive versatility speaks to his overall athletic ability. The more you evaluate Manson, the more his upside on defense stands out, and he has a chance to continue pushing his name up recruiting boards with a strong senior season.

Manson is one of the more underrated two-way players in the Triangle, excelling as both a defensive back and now a receiver. In 2025, he had four interceptions and 52 total tackles as a corner in his second year as a starter at that position. But he really made the most of his offensive opportunities, averaging over 22 yards per catch and scoring four touchdowns.

An impressive two-way athlete, Manson’s best position is corner, where he picked off four passes and had over 50 tackles in 2025. He had another pick six called back due to an unrelated penalty, and contributed on special teams, as well. Most of the Louisburg defense graduates, but Manson returns as one of the best players in the area.
