The American Heritage defense was out coached by the Ponte Vedra offense. AH DB's with the exception of Tyson Campbell didn't really impress me. They lacked aggression and have questionable speed in my opinion. Maybe as individuals, Surtain II/Marco, are good players, but I question their speed because they trailing receivers all game.
IMO the AH OL is their strength and should be a lot better. Tedarrell Slaton will be a beast. That natural strength power mass that moves anything in front of him. He just needs to play with more aggression and "stay" on his blocks. With training and technique improvements he would be a starting guard "easily". Didn't really notice much from Hebert, but that's not saying he's not good, just that Slaton was just that noticeable.
The STA DB's IMO are better. The Samuels kid is probably the best of the SOFl CB's, but Al Blades is right there too. Trenell Troutman is no joke! Kid is aggressive and can cover. A definite take over Marco IMO without hesitation. If we can get the following with the current 2018 (Jobe CB/S ?, Ivey CB, Frierson S):
1. Blades CB (Samuels would be here, but why. fsu legacy)
2. Tyson Campbell S
3. Trenell Troutman CB
4. Pat Surtain S (Big kid. Doesn't have CB speed IMO)
