Players to watch
Holt Humphry, 6-foot-1, 250-pounds OL-DL, Sr.
The veteran has made a name for himself as one of the top offensive linemen in the Texas Panhandle. Playing at left tackle last year, Humphry started all 13 games for the Falcons grading out at 97 percent with 27 pancake blocks.
Jaxon Fetsch, 5-foot-10, 185-pound, WR-LB, Sr.
Fetsch will have a more significant role in the Falcons high powered offense at receiver, however, he’s made his name on the defensive side of the ball. Fetsch was all over the field last season for Bushland making 146 tackles, 24 of those for a loss with eight sacks.
Colton Reynolds, 5-foot-10, 180-pound, WR-LB, Sr.
The son of head coach Josh Reynolds will play a very similar role to Fetsch. Reynolds will be asked to step up on the offense side at wide receiver, but also joins Fetsch making up quite the linebacking unit. During his junior year, Reynolds racked up 82 tackles with 16 coming for a loss and four sacks.
