“Each player has their own character, no one wants to be like each other or the person that was there before them,” Willis said. “I like that about the group. They’re special and will continue to be.” https://www.eastvalleytribune.com/sports/highland-linebackers-comfortable-under-the-radar/article_8975c706-0730-11eb-b2f4-7bd39760b40e.html?fbclid=IwAR2QXEQwURNUfPTBA_e0I0YcrV1Nkrab11GUjxVDXIUIqaFGrjUC0gRKUyA
“Highland’s always been the underdog,” middle linebacker Kam Cullimore said. “We like it that way. It helps us get into that mindset of wanting to upset teams.”

@cannon_booker1 “Rehab has gone perfectly fine and I’m ready to play,” Booker said. “This is the hardest any of us have ever worked this offseason. I think for some of us, we liked having a little extra time during the offseason. We’re ready to go.”
Tyson Lomu, a 6-foot, 210-pound outside linebacker returns after recording 25 total tackles, three of which for a loss, as a junior. Garrett Bollwinkel, senior, will also see playing time both in the middle and outside after recording 22 total tackles last season.

Josh Allen, yet another senior, is also expecting a big year from himself.
“I believe we are going to be one of the best linebacking corps in the state. We are a tight-knit group that works well together. We may be underrated but we are physical, and we know what we are doing.”

Beyond its linebackers, Highland’s defense has talent across the board. Cooper Brown and Sammy Siaki provide size at defensive end, while Ammon Allen and Taylor Siren man the secondary.

On offense, junior quarterback Gage Dayley and senior wideout Logan Kingsford will be a threat through the air, while senior Max Davis’ ability to run downhill will make opposing defenses respect Highland’s rushing attack.

“One of our goals is to have minimal errors per game. Especially on defense, if we can hold a team to seven points, we know our offense can put the ball into the end zone.
Obviously, our goal is to go to state and win it. But we just want to play hard every week.”
