Meet the Offense
Micheal Maxwell
Quarter-Backs -
Freshman Micheal Maxwell 87 OVR, (RS)Sophomore Ira Merritt 58 OVR, (RS) Freshman P.J. Hansen 54 OVR.
The Quarter-Back position isn't a stacked one but with a Freshman as good as Maxwell at the helm the team should be able to land good recruits based off of the teams success. Maxwell comes in at 5'8 and only weighs 180 pounds but his speed and accuracy account for his small fry frame. The things Maxwell should work on is definitely his throwing power and his decision making. Expect for him to come back a much better QB his Sophomore year and hopefully for PHIU fans he'll grow a little in the next off-season.
Lawrence Weaver
Running Backs -
(RS) Senior Lawrence Weaver 90 OVR, (RS) Freshman Khalid Drayton 90 OVR, (RS) Junior Cody Ewing 82 OVR, (RS) Junior Lee Olson 68 OVR, Sophomore Jeff Brown 55 OVR.
The running back position at PHIU is definitely a stacked one expect to see Lawrence Weaver split carries with Freshman Khalid Drayton for most of the season. The Dynamic Duo of sorts is very similar to that of DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart. Weaver ran a 4.3 in the 40 Yard Dash and has amazing on the field speed, Drayton however is a hybrid of sorts with Power Back size and surprising speed he isn't a LaMicheal James but he does have some wheels.
Fullbacks -
(RS) Junior Cody Ewing 83 OVR, Senior Jerome Kramer 58 OVR.
The Fullback position at PHIU will be filled by 3rd String Halfback Cody Ewing due to his size and strength. Ewing is 6'3 and weighs in at about 255. Expect to see a lot of FB Runs near the goaline.
Wide-Receivers -
(RS) Senior Tom Waters 86 OVR, (RS) Freshman Jamal Johnson 78 OVR, (RS) Freshman Anthony Shell 76 OVR, Sophomore Clint Baldwin 71 OVR, (RS) Sophomore Aaron Andrews 67 OVR, (RS) Sophomore Edwin Cobb 63 OVR
Easily the fastest position at PHIU, Tom Waters, Jamal Johnson and Anthony Shell all ran under 4.5 in the 40 Yard Dash with Jamal Johnson being the fastest coming in at about 4.29. These guys have hands too giving Freshman QB Micheal Maxwell a whole lot of targets to throw it to. This Receiving Core is going to be giving defenses headaches for a long time to come.
Tight-Ends -
(RS) Junior Anthony Concepcion 66 OVR, (RS) Junior Joe Montoya 65 OVR, (RS) Freshman Dustin Gold 43 OVR
.
Tight-Ends are a lackluster group for PHIU, expect to see them recruit at this position heavily to go for less blockers and more athletic tight ends.
RT Ray Fine and RG Drew Godfrey
Linemen -
(RS) Junior Nathan Townes 82 OVR LT, (RS) Junior Adam Castillo 80 OVR LG, (RS) Freshman Matt Norman 85 OVR C, Sophomore Drew Godfrey 87 OVR RG, (RS) Freshman Ray Fine 82 OVR RT
Starting 5 for PHIU. A great blocking Unit and no seniors on the starting line. Expect to see them creating massive holes for PHIU's Two-Headed Monster of a run game.
