: “The player I was most impressed with on the field, out of all the Power5 commits that QC has, besides maybe DBrown, was Highland Sen Safety Ammon Allen. He is an amazing football player. Tackles really well, sideline to sideline player... smart... incredible.
Week 1-2 highlights! Great team effort the first two games. 21-0 and 28-0 after the first quarter in both games. Our first team defense held them to 5 first downs in both games. Can’t wait for Friday with my brothers!
EXCITED TO COMPETE AGAINST THE BEST! Training hard everyday getting ready for these three: Under Armour All American Series this week, Rivals Combine Series next week, and The Polynesian Bowl National Combine & Showcase next month. Thanks for the invites and opportunity to LEARN!
It is an honor to be included in the list with these 8 amazing players receiving awards tonight. To be selected for the Mike Haynes Defensive Back Award as the top DB in the AZ is a tribute to my coaches & teammates! Thank you my football brothers!

He is an amazing football player, but an even better brother. He started at SS & Corner this year as a Sophomore. My coach’s say he will be better than me. True!Starting with him in the 6A state championship is dream come true!
