In the coming months, Northwestern will officially begin a state title defense for the second straight season. The Bulls are winners of back-to-back Class 6A championships largely because of their defense, which boasted a pair of first-team all-county defensive linemen in 2018.
This coming fall, however, Northwestern’s most loaded unit could be its group of receivers. There’s Marcus Fleming, a four-star wide receiver in the Class of 2020, who was Southridge’s top wideout in 2018.
There’s Kahlil Brantley, an unranked tight end in the Class of 2021, who provides a matchup nightmare with his receiver skills. And there’s Romello Brinson, an unranked wide receiver in the 2021, who led the Bulls in catches in their 22-0 state-title win against Seffner Armwood last year.
