With all due respect coaches & voters, it’s a gross oversight Orion was not 1st or 2nd Premier & not mentioned all-cusd. Not saying anyone should be off the list, but body of work and film don’t lie. Amazing versatility, grit & IQ. I said what I said & leaving it where I said it.
Thankful for my seniors. Thankful for my coaches. I will be back next year. @VaughtCoach @GarretsonRick @MG_Underwood @apeathletes @lmzworld_ .

In the box, overhang, deep, KU will make plays from everywhere this year, a la UNM circa 1999. Incredible upper body control & foot speed to react and transition downhill or deep easily. Elite athlete with a hit stick. Last ride cuatro 🫡 #Decepticons #Menaces #ControlTheAirspace

Very rarely did teams try KU in the middle of the field, so he went and found his own work filling the alley, delivering big hits. He is not afraid to thump. Great kid, stays out of trouble, takes school seriously, great teammate and one hell of an athlete. Proud to coach him.

J3’s ability to cover ground in deep zone & be an absolute playmaker over the top is 2nd to none. One of the best at holding his line in man catch tech, disrupting routes and flipping hips in phase. It’s your time Jojo couldn’t be prouder #Decepticons #Menaces #ControlTheAirspace

The vision, footwork and IQ by left tackle (OL) @MateoRod69 is phenomenal, Power 5 skill. Crashes the DL stunt, ID’s the looping/blitzing backer, uses momentum and athleticism to speed-turn and pick up blitz, enough time for pitch & catch TD. Wow!
