The first full week of high school football action has kicked off across most of the country with most high schools starting their season off this past weekend including all but three Tech commitments. While a few commitments saw their teams struggle in their season openers a couple of Jackets were standout performers for their teams.

Did Not Play:

Two secondary commitments in Buford cornerback Jalen Huff and Brother Martin (New Orleans, LA) safety Nick Turner did not play this weekend. Huff kicks off his season this upcoming weekend while Turner will have to wait until September 6th. Additionally, LB Jared Behrens out Woodgrove (Purcelville, VA) doesn’t kickoff his 2019 season until this upcoming weekend when they take on Loudon Valley.

No Stats Found: 

CB Miles Brooks – Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville, FL):  We couldn’t find any information on Brooks stats for himself but the Trinity Christian Academy Conquers got off to a rough start in 2019, losing to Columbia 38-7. The Conquers will need to bounce back next week as they face Godby High School out of Tallahassee, Florida.

WR Bryce Gowdy – Deerfield Beach (Deerfield Beach, FL): Gowdy’s team like Brooks got off to a rough start this weekend. The Deerfield Beach Bucks took on Miami Carol City on Saturday in a nationally televised game on ESPN but struggled offensively, losing the game 24-12. The Bucks will need to bounce back fast as they take on St. John’s out of Washington D.C, this upcoming weekend. The Cadets are ranked as the nation’s fourth-best team according to Maxpreps.

OT Jordan Williams – Gainsville (Gainsville, GA): Williams and the Gainsville Red Elephants won their season opener 27-21 over Mary Persons. No stats could be found for the game from a Gainsville perspective.

QB Tucker Gleason – Plant (Tampa, FL): Plant’s 2019 season got off to a very rough start this past weekend in a 38-3 loss.

TE Billy Ward – Locust Grove (Locust Grove, GA): Locust Grove lost this past weekend to Jackson by a final score of 34-13. We could not find any stats for Billy Ward in the Wildcats loss.

OT Cade Kootsouradis – Crestview (Crestview, FL): Crestview won big in the season opener by a final score of 53-20 over Vernon. No stats were entered for Crestview in their win.

OT Wing Green – Lee County (Leesburg, GA): Green’s Lee County team defeated Doughtery 28-0 this past weekend but no stats were entered for the game on Maxpreps.

WR Avery Boyd – Amos. P Godby (Tallahassee, FL): Before committing to the Yellow Jackets on Saturday, Boyd started his senior season off on Friday. Unfortunately, the Godby Cougars dropped their season opener to fellow Tallahassee High School, Lincoln.
