Written by Ryan Wright Twitter: @HogManInLA The tight ends coming up through the ranks in the 2017 class are dynamic.

Written by Ryan Wright Twitter: @HogManInLA Hard to imagine that there was a junior during the 2015 season that did more for his team collectively than what Greg Johnson did for Hawkins High School. Johnson lined up at quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback, and returned kickoffs. The overall effort contributed to an 8-1-1 season for the Hawks. Johnson’s 2015 season consisted […]

Written by Ryan Wright Twitter: @HogManInLA There are few quarterbacks in the 2017 recruiting class that can got tit-for-tat with the stat line Niko Harris put up for Sierra Canyon High School during the 2015 season. Harris passed for 3,260 yards with 47 touchdowns against just six interceptions while sporting a 66 percent completion percentage. Harris did one other thing […]
