PRIME-TIME PLAYERS
BRYN RENNER
A North Carolina recruit, Renner threw for 2,677
yards and 27 touchdowns last season. West
Springfield also brings back All-Area selections
Brandon Bailey and Andy Stallings.
MICHAEL CAMPANARO
Campanaro turned in a season to remember last year
while leading River Hill to the Maryland 2A title. The
All-Met selection and Wake Forest recruit scored 30
total touchdowns and added three picks on defense.
TERRENCE STEPHENS
Stephens, who's committed to Stanford, earned All-
Met honors last year after tallying 56 tackles, 10.5
sacks and two picks. His performance keyed Quince
Orchard's run to the Maryland 4A title.
DARRELL GIVENS
Givens has committed to Penn State along with
teammate Malcolm Willis, who's also an All-Area
first team selection. Givens is rated the nation's No.
11 defensive back in the ESPNU 150.
COACH'S TAKE
AN AREA COACH ON CALEB PORZEL:
"Porzel is a breakaway back. Any time he touches
the ball, he can go all the way. I think he's an
outstanding football player. He committed to
Maryland. If you can play in the ACC, you're not
too bad."
