Coaches Comments: The secondary lost several key contributors; however, Derek will now assume the leadership role within the secondary. With two years of experience as a defensive starter and contributions as a sophomore, we anticipate a standout senior season from him, where he will excel in making plays and organizing the secondary. Derek is a versatile player, capable of seamlessly transitioning to any position within the secondary when needed. Having performed well at HB previously, we plan to increase his workload on that side of the ball this season. While Derek excels at running the ball, we’d also like to advantage of his ability to catch balls in the passing game. Known for his dedication in the weight room, commitment to film study, and leadership qualities on the field, Derek is poised to make a significant impact in his upcoming senior season.
