Tight Ends Who Could Win NMPreps.com's Mr. Football
J Grine of NMPreps.com

Today, we continue to release some of our top positional players returning for next season. We continue our look with the top TE's for the 2016 season.

Top Tight Ends for 2016

1. Adam Cook, Sr., TE, Cleveland HS (Rio Rancho, NM): The stat line is impressive and goes for good reason why Adam Cook is ranked so high on returning players for the 2016 season. Cook, caught for 406-yards last season with three touchdowns. A tight end has never won the NMPreps.com Mr. Football award but another season to mimic last, along with being the best offensive weapon don't be shocked to see his name among the finalist.

2. Jacob Barnhill, Sr., Sandia HS (Albuquerque, NM): I'm not to sure if in fact Barnhill will play TE next season but he had a great showing that the Metro Passing League and could be a force as a TE. At 6-foot-3 he is a force and an athlete that could make huge plays. Barnhill is primarily a defensive stud but he has nice hands and could go both ways next season.

3. Trevor Brohard, Sr., TE, Los Lunas HS (Los Lunas, NM): Brohard, is without question one of the best overall prospects in the state of New Mexico along with being one of the best TE's. Brohard, caught for 491-yards last season with 3-touchdowns. Western State recently offered Brohard with plenty more projected to come. Along with this group, the position is underdog to win the top football individual award but with those numbers and a projection of Los Lunas to do well this could be the year of Brohard.

4. Jalen Guerrero, Sr., TE, Mayfield HS (Las Cruces, NM): Size is no issue here with a 6-foot-6, 240-pound prospect for one of the states to football programs. The Trojans will be favorite this season and Guerrero could see his name highlighted several times this season.

5. Joren Dickey, Jr., TE, Volcano Vista HS (Albuquerque, NM): Under the radar for Dickey and along with most on this list are known more for what they do defending the ball. Dickey, however caught for 235-yards on the season with 4-touchdowns. Good news is we have two years to see him dominate as he had those numbers as just a sophomore.

District Views: District 1-5A Ranking The Running Cores
Grine of NMPreps.com

Today, we continue to release features getting you ready for the 2016 football season. We have released 20 teams in our NMPreps.com Top 50 Summer Rankings and each team from this District has been released so we take a look at the running backs in the District.

Ranking the Running Game

1. Farmington Scorpions: The preseason favorite has one of the more impressive returning running back cores along with a QB that will take the football on the ground. Alex Fowler, Jr, had 908-yards on the season with a 9.2 yards per carry average. Donvan Gonzalez, Sr, also returns with 337-yards but a 12.0 yards per carry average is eye popping.

2. Bloomfield Bobcats: The Bobcats return to this district and the running core has graduated but they return some new names to the running game. 5-foot-9, Junior, Diego O'Neill returns and could get the call this season. He posted 234-yards on 30-carries last season. Behind him are Kyle Burkholder who had 115-yards on 9.6 yards per carry along with Rudy Vigil who had 104 yards on 10.4 yards per carry.

3. Aztec Tigers: The Tigers right now are the number two district champion contender behind Farmington with a young roster returning. Looking at their running game you know junior QB can run the ball as the returning stat leader at 425-yards along with 11 rushing touchdowns. Zane Bradshaw, Sr, will be the name we know as his touches should improve after posting 151-yards last season only 32-carries.

4. Miyamura Patriots: The Patriots are the make-or-break type of team this season. The Patriots could be the team that makes some noise however under the radar. The also had a 1,000 yard rusher, who has since graduated, as they give plenty of love to the running game. They graduated plenty but at this time it's unknown who gets the call for the number one RB but its likely they will have the chance to get their touches. Returning QB Matt Chavez had 409-yards on the ground.

5. Kirtland Central Broncos: The district has a wealth of talented running quarterbacks as we have mentioned. Again, we see that in Kirtland Central who returns Brian Dowdy as QB who ran for 180-yards last season with 4-touchdowns. Outside of Dowdy the Broncos have plenty of adjustments to make moving up to 5A. They graduate plenty and return Zach Vanduren who played in 7-games with 3 carries for 21-yards as the most experience with 1-touchdown.

6. Gallup Bengals: The Bengals relied heavy on graduate QB Colton Lowely to pass and run the ball. They only return one RB in Isaiah Mike-Dubbs who played one game with 8-carries for 58-yards.
