Looking at the N&R Preseason All-Area High School Football Team and the GSO Sports Players to Watch List

Leaders on both sides of the ball for the News and Record’s All-Area Preseason High School Football Team…..

OFFENSE
QB Jaren Rainey, 6-2, 190, Sr., Southwest Guilford (East Carolina): Rainey, a dual-threat QB who projects as a safety at the next level, just edged Eastern Guilford’s Dominique Graves for this spot.

DEFENSE
LB Alan Tisdale, 6-3, 210, Sr., Page (Virginia Tech): Tisdale has all the measurables and makes plays for the Pirates, and he has a pretty good running mate at LB in fellow senior Alex Gray.

DB D.J. Crossen, 6-2, 190, Sr., Dudley (Virginia Tech): Crossen can match up with big receivers at the next level, but will make plenty of impact plays for the Panthers before he joins the growing Triad contingent at Virginia Tech.

  1. Andy I think your list is more accurate than any other list around. You really do a good job of knowing players. A lot of these other guys around here don’t research as well as you do. Keep up the good work and keep doing your homework. GSO sports is the first source I go to for local sports.
