CoachT Division II-AA All-State Team

[WesVLT]

Many of us have seen the majority of DII-AA teams in action this year. Since the official teams aren't out yet, I thought it would be fun to post and debate our own CoachT All-State team.

 

I'm not out to slight anybody. If you see a player left off, tell us who and why. As always, the opinions expressed are my own and not representative of Brentwood Academy.

I think you are spot on Wes, what a great list of players. Busby from McCallie is a great player ....I think his height keeps him from being heavily recruited. McCallie had 3 other seniors who I think had good years....but probably not good enough to be considered  1st team all-state.

 

Cam Walker- Two way tackle who will probably sign with a d1 school.

CJ Fritz- wr/db will probably sign a d1 track scholarship

Spencer Morgan- wr who had a number of catches until he hurt his knee in i think was the 9th game of the season and did not return for the rest of the season. Morgan from what i am told will have some d1 baseball offers if he can come back from off season shoulder surgery.

Wes if you have time what is your evaluation of these players? If you don't know these players and don't feel comfortable commenting i understand.You always provide great information regarding d2 football.

Thanks, good catch. The return stats listed his team as "MS." My brain apparently put a "U" in the middle. Fixed.

Fritz is lightning-fast. I called the state track championship last year and was blown away by his speed. As far as evaluating those players, you would know more about them than I. I saw McCallie play once in person and watched some film of their other games, but I'm hardly an expert on the Tornado. I do think Coach Potter is building that program back to what it used to be, and I'm excited to watch the progression.

Wes...Great list ......You need to look at the MUS player MLB Michael Fitzsimmons. He started as a sophmore and did not play last year to focus on baseball and is an Ole Miss baseball commit. He came back his Senior year and in only 8 games starting he has turned in a 17 tackle performance vs South Panola and a 19 tackle game vs Lafeyette HS and according to my sources either leads MUS in tackles or is near the top with over 100. I saw MUS play vs MBA and South Panola and they are much better than people think on defense. He did not start the year due to injury so you may have not seen him vs BA. I go off of what I have seen and a few other coaches and officials that I speak with. I am certain your list is spot on and all of these young men are worthy choices. I have seen Ensworth on television this year and I know they will be a provibitive favorite vs MUS(or anyone) in the championship game and that is with thier head coach or not. But like they say..."You still have to play the game".

Great info on Fitzsimmons. I've always envied those natural athletes who specialize in another sport, can take a year off and come back with ease. Best of luck to him during baseball season. Hotty Toddy!

MBA's Ty Chandler while only a freshman may be the most talented RB in Division II. 100 yard perfrmances against Ensworth, BA, Baylor, MUS, et al.

Chandler is awesome. I'm making a list of top underclassmen at some point and he'll be on it.

Any chance of a IIA list?

I don't even know what I don't know about DII-A. My DII-AA list came from seeing most teams multiple times and diving into the stats.

 

I do love me some Webb Spartans! Best of luck next week.
