Jaden Datz
Southmoreland, Sr., QB
Despite playing behind an inexperienced and young offensive line that’s been decimated by injuries, Datz (5-11, 185) has become a team leader. He has thrown for 133 yards and a score, run for 40 yards and three TDs and made 51 tackles.
Trent Holler
Latrobe, Jr., OL
The 6-foot-3, 280-pound junior center anchors an offensive line that allows quarterback Jason Armstrong time to throw and open up running lanes for the running backs. He’s starting to draw some Division I looks.
Scott Houseman
Yough, Sr., OL
The 6-foot-4, 310-pound tackle has played a key role in opening running space for junior running back Dustin Shoaf, who has rushed for 999 yards. He has a Division II offer and is getting inquires from Division I schools.
Lucas Pieszak
Mt. Pleasant, Jr., QB
Despite an off night at Elizabeth Forward last week, the junior has put up decent numbers to keep the Vikings’ offense balanced. Pieszak (6-0, 175) has completed 46 of 85 passes for 686 yards and six touchdowns.
