Best Junior Linebacker?

[johnsmith42]

Sean McCormick is the best junior linebacker in state, and he will surely be one of the top prospects next year and will end up going to a solid D-1 school simply because of his toughness and hustle.

Zac Tarwater is about 6'1 220 and leads is team in tackles averaging about 13 a game or so...

Bryce Wilbanks (Camden #41) usually end up with 15-17 tackles a game, great speed and nose for the football.

I agree Bryce Wilbanks is for real....some of the hardest hits I've seen this year...just ask some of the backs and receivers from McKenzie!

Tamar Butler #33- Riverdale 6', 185

This kid is a great player, started last year for the warriors and consistently makes big plays. Has great speed and plays with a lot of emotion

MARTIN WINTERS

Mandell Cullom-White County He had an exilent year as a sophmore last year leading the team in tackles, and has been sidelined by a shoulder injury this year, but look for this 6'3 298lb MLB to Ring some bells this year. Cullom also puts in some time at the fullback positio.

I agree with Grad and OWLSFAN10, Both of those players from Ooltewah are pretty good. But I will put a plug in for Bart Peeveyhouse from Taft. He may be small in stature, but he has a nose for the ball.

McMinn Central's Kurt Loveday

by far the best two junior LBs are Sean McCormick and Jay Gilbert of Riverside

consistent strong and smart the record may not show it but Riversides defense is really pretty good along with Puckett, Morris, Ward and Inman and a good secondary this defense has held 6 of 8 teams to well below their average including teams like Huntington, and Mckenzie beware for the return of McCormick and Gilbert next year they will definitely reak havok on opposing defenses

OK, you must be a Sean McCormick fan, to say he is the BEST Jr LB in the state is an over statement.  I've seen Riverside and a few other DI AA teams play.  McCormick is a solid player but compared to the other top DI 5A/4A, DII 3A and DII 2A linbackers he's nowhere close. The competition level that he (Riverside) plays at is nowhere near the level of a Melrose, MBA, Brentwood, WhiteStation, MUS, Riverdale or Knox Catholic. Has Riverside played any competition at this level? The Jr LB's I've seen and mentioned play successfully at these levels every week, again McCormick is solid, but the BEST, I think not, he's not at the caliber of the two kids from Memphis, Jackson and Mosby that I've seen play.  Before you make this type of statement make sure you've seen the others around the state, at the higer levels...as I have...

the talent level Riverside faces is far better than that, they carry the toughest schedule in the state in 2A and fourth out of all classes get real McCormick will be the next Dat Nguen their are alot of good LBs but look at the kids stats he's top in west Tn now if the others are so good then where are their stats he may not be the #1 or #2 LB in the state but i believe he is solidly in the top 5 and his teammate Gilbert isn't too shabby himself

Before his season ending acl injury brentwood junior Tyler Sinclair played like an all midstate backer averaging 15 takles per game.
