I am crazy for writing this blog talking about the top 25 offensive threats on a football field in Macon
I open myself up for criticism across the board to be honest but I guess I feel like its more important to get kids names in print, even if it is just through a blog.
Will I miss some kids ? No doubt I will
Will I rank differently than others ? Sure I will because I am going to rank on what they mean to the team and what they have done so far this year.
I am ranking 25 offensive threats in the Middle Georgia area. If I miss someone let me know. If you don't agree let me know. I like positive or negative feedback.
I tried my best to involve as many schools as possible because hey everyone likes mentions
25)Vansean Jackson - The Westside running back has to give the Seminoles yards because no team can pass every play. Westside had that mix last year and it led to a great year. Jackson has delivered so far in a smaller way, averaging around 70 yards per game. I expect his carries to go up as teams make Westside run the football
24)Hunter Alexander- In case you were wondering who would replace four year starter Miles Morris at quarterback for Tattnall Square, we have found out the answer and that is Alexander. While Morris was a master at running the wing-t, Alexander is straight athlete who can run and pass. He had four rushing touchdowns in the last game and also threw the ball 10 times. Tattnall will score points this year and Alexander is a big key
23)Travion Searcy- This kid is small , I mean I am betting 135 pounds but I saw him play against Westside and he is not scared to sit in the pocket and show off that rifle of an arm. He is only a sophomore so watch out for this guy , who gets to learn from head coach Joe Dupree, who by the way still ranks as one of the top quarterbacks ever to come out of Macon. Southwest is primed to have a solid year with Searcy running the show.
22)Tijah Woolfolk- Peach County is loaded and Woolfolk has already rushed for 176 yards in two games.
21)Andrew Carner- Jones County is loaded also and have showed that so far this year. Everyone knows they want to chunk it but Carner has showed everyone that he is more than capable of gaining yards on the ground with 272 yards and four touchdowns. I just want to know who beats this team.
20)Jaylon Clark- He is Howard's new quarterback and he offers a great run/ pass option for the Huskies offense. Howard if off to a 2-1 record so far and will have to be very good to get a win over Westside. It has been a few years, actually many years, since Macon has had so many good quarterbacks. This kid looks the part and has great skill players around him so it could be a very interesting year for the Huskies.
19)Travion Solomon- The Northeast quarterback has also been impressive early in the year with 325 yards passing
18)Malik Wooten-I really don't know where Jones County gets all these athletes from . I mean its a small town and all of a sudden they have all these guys who can play d1 football. Malik Wooten can fly and he already has 387 yards receiving and four touchdowns. Someone will have to stop this offense or score 55 to beat them because the Hounds proved what they are capable of when they pounded Northside.
17)Mason Ford _ Northside is off to a slow start but Ford has already gained 410 yards and scored six times. Don't worry about the Eagles . They will probably fight back and make the playoffs. If they don't its time for a change.
16)Blake Ethridge- Mr. Ethridge is the new signal caller at Veterans and they are off to a quick 3-0 start. He has 349 yards and two touchdown through the air and has added another 56 on the ground. Watch out for the Warhawks this season
15)Enrico Harden- He has the reigns of the Mary Persons offense and has responded well with over 400 yards of offense in three games for the Bulldogs
14)Wes Allen- First of all he could start for any team in this area. He runs hard and is the leader of a Tattnall team that will surprise some people this year. He put up 162 yards rushing against a very good Trinity Sharpsburg team and I am sure those numbers will continue to grow.
13)Jalen Addie- Warner Robins doesn't have a Fromm at quarterback but Jalen Addie is pretty good. The Demons are 2-0 and Addie has 349 yards passing with five touchdowns and also has 87 yards rushing. Warner Robins wont miss Mike Chastain this year and will just continue to win.
12)Jaydon Gibson- I saw him in his first varsity start last year againt Northside and he beat them and he has just continued to beat people on a regular basis. Peach County is for real and Gibson is one of the main reasons with 370 yards passing and three touchdowns in the first two games.
11)Julian Barnes- Veterans can always run and throw and this is the running back that makes things go. The Warhawks are 3-0 and Barnes has already carried the ball 62 times and gained 371 yards.
10)Noah Whittington- The area is loaded obviously and Whittington will probably be moving up the list as Peach County gets into some competition. The Western Kentucky commit has put up cose to 250 yars of rushing/receiving numbers in two games and hos versatility will be a huge plus for the team.
9)Jeremiah Kelly- Explosive, elusive, quick, tough, physical are just a few of the things that describe the Howard senior running back. I have been watching this guy since he was a sophomore and he never has disappointed . He is one of the main reasons that that Huskies will make a playoff run. He has had issues staying healthy but lets hope he can have an injury free year.
8)Javarsia Meadows - The second (or first) part of the Howard running backs. This kid can flat out play and he is dangerous as a runner and pass catcher. I saw him go over 100 yards rushing and receiving in a game this year. He is a little bigger than Kelly, but runs hard and looks quick in pads.
7)Max Rigby- Imagine having to replace Jake Fromm and then getting hurt in his very first start as a sophomore. All of that is now forgotten and Rigby is collecting college offers and winning football games as HOCO is 3-0 on the season heading into a huge game with Peach County this weekend.
6)Dexter Williams - Mount de Sales has a senior quarterback who has the chance to lead his team deep into the playoffs and they have to be considered the favorite to win the region. He is maybe the best dual threat guy in the area and he has already committed to the University of Indiana. MDS was the favorite last year and didn't get it done. This is their year. Williams in two games has 159 yards rushing and 397 yards passing with five touchdowns.
5)Marcayll Jones- A record breaking receiver from last year comes in at number five mainly because he is breaking in a new quarterback and has 12 catches for 192 yards. These numbers will sky rocket throughout the year. He is a University of Memphis commit.
4)Victor Dixon-Dixon is getting D1 offers and he isn't hurting himself on the field with his performance. He has thrown for 785 yards in three games with eight touchdowns. He has the size to be a true drop back passer but has shown the ability to tuck and go a little more this year than in the past.
3)Jontavis Robertson- The man has 14 or more offers and a lot of them are D1 schools He is just another piece of the explosion in the Jones County offense. Robertson has already has 334 yards of receiving
and 19 catches and is poised for a monster year. He already has a Tennessee offer on the table and good things will continue to come his way
2) Jaylon Barden- Westside wide-out who has all the intangibles to be a great next level player. He has played three games this year and already has 22 catches and 442 yards of receiving and six touchdowns
He and Dixon have great chemistry and are the offensive leaders on a very very good football team.
1)Hunter Costlow- Is he undersized ? Yes he is. Is he a system quarterback ? He probably is. Is he a winner ? Oh yes he is. Can he play college football ? Why yes he can . Costlow is putting up video game numbers as a senior with 930 yards of passing in only three games and that includes 11 touchdowns . He has thrown only one interception so far. This kid is a football players and he has great numbers over his career. He will get his chance somewhere, that I promise you
So that's it , 25 of the best offensive players in the area. I hope you enjoy readin and go see a high school game this week . I know I will
