Here it goes!!

TRENT TOMPKINS, SR, CENTRAL GRIZZLIES (QB)

Back to back Pag Meter Offensive player of the year award. The biggest competitor I have seen in a while.

He was the first QB in Central Grizzlies history to win a valley championship throwing for 3,624 yards with 37 touchdown passes, rushed for 504 yards and scored 4 touchdowns. Take a look at Baker Mayfield..the Heisman award winner and No 1 pick in the NFL draft and he wasn’t recruited out of high school. Offers will be rolling in now including an Ivy League offer from Brown University. Trent has the Grizzlies the favorite again to be playing on Championship night.

CAMERON WILLIAMS, Sr, BAKERSFIELD DRILLERS (QB/DB)

Cam has exploded this summer with over 19 offers and has verbally committed to play at Washington University. Cam will play QB and lead the defense for the Drillers. Cam can throw it and run it from the triple option and that makes the Drillers so dangerous!

Kendall finished his sophomore year rushing for 1,514 yards and scored 23 touchdowns. Once he bounces to the outside, he is gone with speed.
