is another player who has continued to stand out on both sides of the ball. He is very impressive on the defensive side of the ball at outside linebacker. Cothron does a great job of reading the play then coming downhill in a hurry to get to the ball carrier. Once he gets to the ball carrier, he explodes through contact and finishes his tackles with a ton of physicality. He is also a talented playmaker on offense at receiver. Cothron has shown the ability to use his speed to blow by opposing defensive backs to create separation. TJ currently holds an offer from Thomas More and I expect more to come his way as he has the talent to play at the next level.

, an athlete at Fern Creek High School. Cothron stands out with his size and breakaway speed, proving he can juke out the defense and break tackles en route to the backfield. Cothron also impresses me with his strong catching ability and wingspan, proving he can attack the ball in the air and outmaneuver the defense down the stretch. I also like how Cothron can quickly get open for the short pass.

. On defense, Cothron lines up at outside linebacker where he is very impressive against the run. He does a great job of reading his keys and getting to the ball carrier in a hurry to make the tackle. TJ finished this past season with 53 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss in 12 games. He also caught 22 passes for 298 yards and four touchdowns, scored one rushing touchdown, and returned one kickoff for a touchdown. TJ doesn’t currently hold any offers but I could see some coming his way soon as he has received some college interest and has the talent to play at the next level.
