BEST QUARTERBACK
“Gio Richardson, the Oxbridge quarterback, and Aaron McLaughlin, the freshman. When it came down to getting it, they dropped me off a dime.” – Class of 2020 WR James Davis
“Curt Casteel. He is very smart and he threw some really good balls.” – Class of 2021 QB Aaron McLaughlin
BEST RUNNING BACK
“George Johnson III. He was good running routes and catching.” - Rivals100 ATH Mark-Antony Richards
“Kenny McIntosh. He has good footwork and he uses his leverage when he runs.” – Three-star LB Dorian Jones
BEST WIDE RECEIVER
“Gen’taris Oliver. I liked him. He’s my cousin but he’s really smooth on his feet with his cuts and he has some speed.” – Davis
“Kalani Norris. He was smooth with his routes.” – Rivals250 ATH Tyrique Stevenson
“John Dunmore. He just has great ball skills, he can go get the ball out of the air and everything.” - Class of 2020 DB Benjamin Onwuzo
“I thought John Dunmore obviously was good. He had one comeback one-handed catch that was insane.” – Class of 2019 QB Xander Stokes
“I would say Frank Ladson. I’ve known him since we were kids and he just always does well.” – Three-star WR Kinglsey Grissett
“John Dunmore. He routed Akeem Dent. He can move, he’s athletic and he can catch the ball.” – Class of 2020 QB Edwin Rhodes
“John Dunmore, but I’m not impressed because he’s been doing it since he was young. He came out here and did his thing.” – Four-star ATH Kenny McIntosh
BEST OFFENSIVE LINEMAN
"The best offensive lineman was Dustyn Hall. He was strong and good on his feet." - Class of 2020 DL Henry Bryant
"Marcus Dumervil, Dontae Lucas, Jamari Williams. Jamari is faster on his feet than I thought. Marcus is big and long so you he should be good and he’s a sophomore. And Dontae, that’s a joke. He’s big, physical, and goofy as hell." - Rivals250 DE Khris Bogle
BEST DEFENSIVE LINEMAN
“It was definitely Calijah (Kancey). He’s fast, man. He can move.” – Rivals250 OL Dontae Lucas
“I liked (Calijah Kancey). He was good, but when I see him it’s a whole different story.” – Class of 2020 OL Jovens Janvier
BEST LINEBACKER
“Anthony Solomon. He was very quick and great in coverage. He was physical and fast.” – Richards
“Derek Wingo. He is a fast linebacker that runs well and working with him was great because we already have that chemistry. He played really fast.” – Rivals250 LB Anthony Solomon
BEST DEFENSIVE BACK
“Te'Cory Couch. He was definitely tough. Couch was the best cornerback out there to me. He was great covering guys and to me, there nobody better. I liked Tyrique Stevenson and Tiawan Mullen, too.” – Rivals100 WR John Dunmore
“Omar Simpson. He’s just a freshman and he did well” - Onwuzo
