Column: Midseason report: It’s the year of the linebacker in prep football
LA TimesLinebackers Nasir Wyatt, left, and Abduall Sanders of Mater Dei prepare to take down Corona Centennial’s Tyler George. I hate Quarterbacks : May 1, 2023 It starts with Mater Dei’s duo of Nasir Wyatt and Abduall Sanders and continues with teammates Dailon Clanton, a sophomore, and Shaun Scott, a junior. There’s many others making offensive linemen look ineffective, from Texas A&M commit Noah Mikhail of Bonita to USC commit Tatai Tagoa’i of San Clemente to UCLA commit Weston Port of San Juan Hills to Nevada commit Jake Silverman. With 16 touchdown passes and two interceptions in four games, the junior quarterback has served notice he’s got a lot more to offer. Much stronger and faster in his junior season, the defensive back has seven interceptions in five games with at least one interception against Trinity League teams St. John Bosco, JSerra and Orange Lutheran.
