Expert Analysis
Matt Layton | Prep Redzone Scout
One of the unsung heroes on this Martinsburg team is senior OL/DL Xerxees Yancey Xerxees Yancey 5'9" | 210 lbs | DL Martinsburg | 2024 State WV who was named First-Team All-EPAC as a defensive lineman and an Honorable Mention All-State performer a season ago. Yancey isn’t exactly your conventional lineman at 5’9 210 but I wouldn’t recommend overlooking him for his size. Amazingly, he has three defensive touchdowns this season including one of the wildest pick-sixes you will see in the win over Huntington in the semifinal. Yancey is an impressive athlete for his size and showed great balance and solid speed on his defensive touchdowns. He’s a really pesky defender who is quite the challenge for a bigger offensive lineman to block given his size and quickness. Yancey does a nice job holding the edge and containing runs to his side. He has great feet and still has the strength to not get pushed around by most offensive linemen. Yancey also has a motor that doesn’t stop which is likely the reason why he’s found himself on the end of three defensive touchdowns this season. He’d be a great get for any D3 or Sprint Football team.
