Bama’s Future Player
Daphne vs. McGill-Toolen
By: Thomas Watts
Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the main event. In one corner, you have the McGill-Toolen Yellow Jackets, a diminutive team from Mobile, Ala., with more heart and guts than reach. In the other corner, you have the Daphne Trojans, a juggernaut from Baldwin County, Ala., who has won 23 straight fights on its way to earning a second state title. The game received national hype. Rivals.com had it as their National High School Game of the Week.
Daphne passes the eye test. It features two future FBS prospects: running back T.J. Yeldon and defensive end Ryan Anderson. It is a big, fast and physical team. Yeldon, an Auburn commit, is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in the state according to Rivals.com. He is on pace to break the 3,000 yard barrier for his senior season. The Daphne running back’s production has injected him into every major Mr. Football discussion for the state. Anderson is ranked as the 19th best prospect in Alabama. He received an offer from Nick Saban and committed to be part of the CrimsonTide 2012 recruiting class.
