Coach: CURTIS JASPER
7-4
OFFENSE
The Eagles return several key players on the offensive line but will need to replace several players who provided a lot of production for the offense according to head coach Curtis Jasper.
“We return four offensive linemen this year. We graduated a lot of production, but the line experience, along with returning our quarterback and two other returning skill players will be a huge strength going into the season,” said coach Jasper.
The pro-style spread offense was a balanced attack last season averaging 178 yards through the air and 155 yards on the ground. Daniel Rose (6-0, 180, Sr.) was 2nd Team All-Conference, All-District and All-Area last season. A smart QB who makes good decisions, Rose is a very savvy, athletic player who will lead this offense again this season.
“As long as we play together and trust each other, I think we have a good chance to be good,” said Rose.
The offensive line returns several players who grabbed post season honors last year. Isaac Yust (6-2, 240, Sr.) and Isaiah Britt (6-4, 275, Sr.) lead a talented group that also includes Cailou Magee (5-11, 255, Sr.) and Jayden Camerer (6-1, 270, Sr.). Yust brings a high IQ to the unit while Britt is a long, athletic player with excellent feet. Both guys are next level type talents. Magee made the move from linebacker to the offensive line where he brings a physical brand of football. Like Magee, Camerer is a physical blocker who understands the game. Lane Cole (5-11, 225, Sr.) is pushing for playing time up front and helping this unit solidify itself as a formidable group in the trenches.
One player excited to see the big guys upfront is running back Traevian McCadney (6-1, 215, Sr.). After missing nearly the entire season last year, McCadney returns to make a splash with the offensive unit this season. Coach Jasper said the expectations for McCadney are high entering the season. Trenton McCadney (6-2, 170, Jr.), brother to Traevian, is one of several capable wide receivers looking to get into the action this year. Trenton is a big target and a player who can climb the ladder and get the ball. Layne Royle (5-10, 155, Sr.) and tight end Zaveon Williams (6-2, 185, Sr.) figure into the passing game as well. Royle is a versatile player who is quick and athletic giving the passing game an option in shorter routes while Williams will figure into the run game as a blocker and the passing game as a big target downfield. John Jasper (6-3, 235, Sr.) is another tight end and two-way starter. Jasper is a returning starter at tight end. He brings excellent hands to the position and is expected to make an impact on defense.
“As long as we continue to work hard and play together it will be a great year,” said Jasper.
Hayden Wolf (5-11, 150, Sr.) is competing for playing time at wide receiver.
