During the 2019 season, the Many Tigers finally made it to the 2A Louisiana State Championship Game after falling in the semifinals in both 2017 and ‘18. The run produced an 11-4 season ending in a tough (56-17) loss to Ferriday in the championship game. After garnering more playoff experience, Many is ready to rip up their competition in 2020 with the goal of hoisting their first state title trophy since 2014. The player who is ready to lead the Tigers on this historic journey is star corner/receiver Zeuarrius “Cadillac” Rhone.
In his junior season, Rhone threw for 912 yards with 10 touchdowns while also rushing for 783 yards and three more scores. On defense, the star defensive back chipped in with 34 total tackles and four interceptions. Rhone uses his best tools on both sides of ball which include his field vision, ball skills and athleticism. He also possesses great toughness on the field and tremendous leadership among his teammates.
This class of 2021 recruit currently holds eight college offers including Army, Navy and Air Force and is drawing interest from several other college programs including Lehigh University.
Rhone is not only a stellar athlete by staring on the gridiron but is also a standout in basketball and on the track team and is also a great student as he currently holds a 4.0 GPA in the classroom.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I sat down with the Many star to talk about his junior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
