The choice is clear as Darnell is a big time playmaker for Indian River game in and game out. A Syracuse commit, one of the top players in the state, and recently named Off player of the Year in Class 2A. With just shy of 1,000 APY on the year and a total of 18 TDs on the year, Darnell is a player that defenses need to have an eye on every play. With legit track speed and dynamic with the ball in his hands, Darnell is a big play threat every time he touches the ball. Used in multiple ways: he carries the ball, handled PR/KR’s and is high level WR. He goes up and attacks the ball in the air and can in 50/50 balls. Stokes also contributes on the defensive side at DB. With his size, speed, athleticism, he is a rangy ball hawking DB that QBs always need to be wary of.

A player that impacts the game across all 3 phases, Darnell makes plays for his team week in and week out. He is a big reason why Indian River is undefeated on the year and the #1 seed in the 2A bracket. Look for Darnell to lead them deep into the playoffs over these next few weeks.
