Expert Analysis
Alex Pallone | Prep Redzone Scout
A TE/DE/T, Duane has earned a ranking with an excellent offseason. Before this offseason, I was unsure where Duane fit into the DCC team. Now, I’d expect him to earn playing time on both sides of the ball. Offensively, Duane is a physical player. Lining up in-line and outside, Duane is a very productive blocker and is not afraid to physically dominate someone. Defensively, he’s shown some great stuff this offseason. He seems to line up as a 3-tech, but I wouldn’t be shocked if he lined up anywhere from a 2-5tech.
At 3-tech, Duane has flashed fast hands and an explosive getoff. Namely, he has a solid swim and rip move. I’m not entirely sure how he’ll fare next season, but I am excited to see how this season pans out.

Read EvaluationTyler Graham | Prep Redzone Scout
Johnson is not the tallest on this list, though he does have solid height, but this dude is 230 lbs of punishment! While he is a 2 way player who gets some burn at DE, but I really like what he can do as a pass catcher. He has a nice release, does a nice job of getting leverage on the defender, and secures some tough catches! I think his impact as a receiver can especially be felt over the middle when he is matched up against shorter defenders or lighter defenders that he can box out. I like what he has going for him heading into this fall, and am hoping to see him work in person soon.
