5A Football: Breakout Players in 2019
Each season a player will jump out for a breakout season. Last season you could consider Rivals New Mexico Mr. Football winner Cade Manzanares that guy. We knew he was going to be one of the best but he was a household name in the New Mexico high school football circle after continued success each week.
Today, we look as some possible candidates that could either win player of the week honors or over up in the player rankings (NMPreps 200).
Ceazer Chavez (2020), RB | Deming High School
Chavez already jumped out this summer with a great showing at the combine. Athletic and if he rushed for 1300 yards last season, I'd take the over for 1,500 yards this season. The Wildcats have a shot at making the semifinals this season and Chavez will be the reason. He is surrounded by some nice pieces too, so I wouldn't forget about the Wildcats.
Tyler Kiehne (2021), DE | Los Lunas High School
Kiehne hit the scene this summer and after earning an offer from UNM in the spring people took notice. Kiehne, displayed his skills at the combine this summer and two years of Kiehne has Los Lunas faithful smiling. There are plenty of pieces around Kiehne and that defensive line could be dangerous. He spent the summer around the country attending big time camps. He will become another prospect with several big time offers.
Guillermo Maldonado (2020), LB | Santa Teresa High School
Maybe the least known of the players mentioned today. He totaled for 59 tackles and 7 sacks last season. He is part of a monster duo between him and Flores for the Desert Warriors. They had one of their most successful campaigns in 2018, and projected to take a dip, these two change the focus to the defense and looking to prove doubters wrong.
