THE FEATURED FOUR

Marcques George – Senior – Running Back/Outside Linebacker

No nonsense, straight-ahead running style that Baker fans are used to. Nearly had 1,000 yards rushing last season, and he’s eyeing it again this year. Also a great linebacker that can play the run and the pass equally as well.

Alex Maloley – Junior – Tackle/Defensive End

After playing tight end last season, he’s been moved to left tackle. Perhaps the strongest player on the team, and he’ll adapt well to his new position. A major force at defensive end last season, and there’s no reason why that won’t pour into 2022.

Ethan Larson – Senior – Guard/Defensive End

An injury took away 80% of his season last year, but he’s healthy now. At 6-foot-4 and 230 pounds, and stronger than ever, it could be an immense season for Larson. His lead blocking on counters will be a sight to see, and his ability on the edge defensively will have opponents thinking twice.

Brady West – Senior – Running Back/Outside Linebacker

Last year’s leading tackler among returning players, he’s a hard hitter that plays much bigger than his size at linebacker. Already powerfully built, and fast, he’s the next in line as another great Mountaineer running back.

Who will be Mount Baker’s break out player?

Dylan Moa – Sophomore – Tight End/Middle Linebacker

When Coach Lepper puts a sophomore at middle linebacker, I take notice. There have been some great ones over the years, and I’m excited to see Moa’s progression. He will also start at tight end, and could end up leading his team in receptions for the run-heavy Mounties.
