this thread is most interesting in that it shows just how much some people care about high school football

Richard Sherman is the only answer

An NFL running back would single handily win a state championship, and he could double at defensive line/ LB and wreck shop

that is the best answer hands down

I think it would be better if you had a running QB that is tough enough to play defense.

If I'm not mistaken J R House took a pretty terrible team all the way to state in West Virginia because he was such a great athlete in high school. He ironically didn't even turn out to be anything special in college because he pursued his baseball career first.

A top high school football player at Nitro, J.R. House set a national high school record with 10 touchdown passes in the 1998 West Virginia state championship game against Morgantown. He was the West Virginia high school football player of the year and also set a national record with 14,457 career passing yards.

I'm taking someone in a safety/OLB hybrid position and running back/WR.

Patrick Peterson may get my vote.

I think a player like Patrick Peterson or Devin Hester that could dominate in all 3 phases would make the biggest impact

I'll take PP. He can play corner on defense. Then play qb/wr/rb on offense

This is a dumb thread.

But, considering Cam basically won a MNC by himself at Auburn, he's the correct answer

Sherman would have to play for Vermillion Catholic and their roided out, wife-beater coach

I don't know how much impact he would have at corner against most high school offenses though

Depends. Against a team like Barbe, it would be huge. Like I was saying, you could move him to OLB/Safety against a run team and he'd take away a whole side of the field.

TE- Drew Brees is a master of throwing the ball where only Jimmy Graham can get it, but HS QBs aren't Brees. One thing about receivers: they don't have to worry about pro hits, so you can ride them every play.


Having Jimmy Graham could get you to the playoffs then he will get soft on you.

I'd take AP. If you gave him the ball every play, he'd be unstoppable. You can run or pass away from defenders so the only logical answer is a RB like AP or QB like Cam.

my thing is DTs are always at the point of attack anyways and are more mindless in what they do, as well as being physical beasts.
