Played everywhere on both sides of the ball and the TRAC All Star will be one of the best in 2017. The Pag Meter All Star will never come off the field. Made the catch of the year in the playoffs vs Edison. On 3rd and 14, Jacob made a superman catch to get the Grizzlies a huge 1st down. Without that 1st down, Central might not have won that game.

A star was born on both sides of the ball after rushing for 1,383 yards and scored 11 TD’s in 2016 for the Vikings. 

 

Keshon Butler, junior, Tulare Western Mustangs

Butler is a guy to keep an eye on. He missed the first month of last year after transferring from Mission Oak so the 6-0, 180-pound wide receiver is ready for a full year.

Tahj Hart, senior, Hoover Patriots

It seems that Tahj has been playing at Hoover for 10 years and now he’s finally a senior. He is dangerous at running back/LB that is fast and strong. He is the best player on the Patriots for new head coach Justin Nast.

 

Cole Acevedo, senior, Clovis Cougars

He comes in at 6-5, 320, and one of the top offensive lineman in the valley. He will be the leader upfront especially with wrestlers Seth Nevills and Jacob Good not going out for football.
