It is Woodland Hills’ wide receiver T’Rek Scipio T’Rek Scipio 6'1" | 170 lbs | WR Woodland Hills | 2021 PA against Penn Hills’ defensive back Noel Roach Noel Roach 6'1" | 180 lbs | DB Penn Hills | 2021 PA . Noel is an Akron commit, while T’Rek has some offers at the D-2 level but that does not mean it won’t be a good matchup. T’Rek is used as a deep threat guy. Even though Noel plays safety, it’s going to be interesting to see him track down T’Rek when Woodland Hills goes deep. Noel shows good speed but doesn’t think he has the speed to keep up with T’Rek. During Penn Hills’ first game against North Allegheny, Noel did line up at corner in the slot, so I am interested to see if they have T’Rek line up as a slot WR. T’Rek biggest concern is his route running ability. That’s where I see Noel winning that battle. Both these teams have really good players at the receiver and defensive back position, but this is the matchup that entices me the most.
