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."
