Know your foe: Jackson talent pipeline keeps flowing

At some point, the talent at the disposal of Coach Andy Hall’s Jackson Ironmen has to have some kind of a drop off, right?
 
Hall, in his 12th season as Jackson grid boss, has amassed an amazing 92-30 overall record including a respectable 5-7 mark in the OHSAA playoffs. His team reached the regional final in 2015 and he’s coached three teams to 10-0 regular seasons.
 
Despite, or maybe because of, that success the talent pipeline continues to be very strong for the Ironmen.

Jacob Winters (6-2, 230, sophomore) was a full-time starter as a freshman last fall at receiver and safety and will take over the quarterback duties this fall. Winters is big enough to run over and fast enough to run around defenders and his passing ability is extremely high making him a true dual-threat.
 
Evan Spires (6-0, 210, junior) will lineup in the backfield as a running back but also can see time at quarterback.
 
The skill positions are a strength for the Welshmen. Tristan Prater (6-0, 185, junior) and Nate McManaway (6-4, 185, senior) were reliable pass catchers last fall. Adding to that talented group are Drew Bragg (6-1, 185, junior) who took last year off, speedy freshman Cade Wolford (5-9, 170), Macon Perrill (6-0, 180, senior), and Holden Blankenship (5-9, 150, junior).
 
But the top pass catcher is West Virginia University commit tight end Treylan Davis (6-5, 240, senior). Davis has outstanding leaping ability in addition to his 6-5 frame.
 
Up front, the red and white hope to shake off injuries that have plagued them during the preseason. Trent Evans (6-1, 225, sophomore) and David Norris (5-10, 225, sophomore) are expected to start at tackle with Grant Mastin (6-0, 220, junior) and Blake Cross (5-10, 225, senior) playing at guard, and Caleb McGraw (5-10, 190, sophomore) playing center.
 
Defensively Jackson has been quick and suffocating under Hall, and 2020 looks to be a continuation of that track record. The Ironmen line up in a 3-4 defense that features undersized but quick defensive linemen and stout, physical, and disruptive linebackers.
 
Up front Davis, Ty Jones (5-11, 175, junior), and Aden Strawser (5-11, 225, senior) are favorites to start with McGraw, Brayden Powell (5-9, 190, sophomore), and Brendon Webb (5-8, 150, junior) adding depth.
 
At linebacker, Mastin and Landon Erwin (6-3, 200, senior) are inside linebackers while Spires and Bragg play outside. Davis and Brodie Butcher (5-8, 180, sophomore) may also see time at linebacker.
In the secondary, Prater and Perrill are the corners while McManaway and Winters play safety. Winters is a physical presence while patrolling centerfield as the free safety. Blankenship will also play in the secondary.
 
Prater will handle the punting chores while Isaac Kuhn (5-9, 160, senior) will do the placekicking.
