PrepNation 101 Preseason Countdown: No. 24 DeMatha

PrepNation.com continues the most comprehensive package of preseason high school football rankings ever published. We are counting down the PrepNation 101 Preseason High School Football Rankings, from No. 101 to No. 26, leading up to the release of the official preseason National Prep Poll on August 3.


24. DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.)
Last season: 10-2, WCAC champion
Coach: Bill McGregor
Key players: RB Marcus Coker (6-1, 220, Sr.), RB-WR-DB Jeff Knox Jr. (6-3, 200, Sr.), OT Arie Kouandjio (6-6, 315, Sr.), OL Shane Johnson (6-4, 280, Sr.), OL Jake Geiser (6-3, 275, Sr.), LB Austin Phillips (5-10, 215, Sr.), DB Michael Coley (5-10, 180, Sr.), DB Kyrrel Latimer (5-10, 200, Sr.), DB Lorenzo Waters (6-1, 205, Sr.)
Outlook: Despite graduating eight or more Division I players for the 19th consecutive year, the Stags remain the team to beat in the Washington Catholic Athletic Conference. After all, DeMatha rebuilds every year and still has won all but one WCAC title this decade, despite heavy competition from nationally ranked rival Good Counsel (Olney, Md.). This year’s team will have the ability to wear opponents down with a big offensive line and power rushing attack. The primary battering ram will be Coker, who ran for close to 1,200 yards as a junior. Another player who might get some carries is Knox, a versatile Pittsburgh recruit who also lines up at receiver and safety. On defense, the Stags’ secondary has at least three players who are being heavily recruited. Latimer chose to end the recruiting process early by committing to Virginia. The most experienced player in the front seven will be Phillips.
