Next up in our Returning Player Spotlight is one of the most explosive athletes on the roster, Robert Lewis III, better known as “Three!”

Last season, Three earned 2025 Offensive Player of the Year, using his elite quickness, speed, and athletic ability to become a difference-maker every time the football was in his hands.

And when we say this kid is fast, we aren't just talking football fast.

Three is one of the fastest kids in the COUNTRY and a true All-American track star!

That track speed translates directly to the football field. Give Three a little bit of daylight and he can turn a small opening into a huge play in a hurry. His acceleration, quick feet, and ability to change direction make him extremely dangerous with the football.

But don't let the Offensive Player of the Year award fool you. Three can play some DEFENSE too.

At Cornerback, that elite speed becomes a major weapon. He has the quickness to stay with receivers, the recovery speed to close ground, and the athleticism to make plays in space. Three gave us excellent Cornerback play last season and proved he can make an impact on both sides of the football.

Offensive Player of the Year. All-American track star. One of the fastest kids in the country. Two-way football player.

SPEED KILLS, AND THREE HAS PLENTY OF IT.

We can't wait to see what Robert “Three” Lewis III does with another year of development as he makes the jump to 9U!

Next up in our Returning Player Spotlight is an absolute athletic specimen, #18 Braxton Wadley!

Last season, Braxton earned 2025 Breakout Player of the Year, and when you see the combination of size, strength, speed, and athleticism this kid brings to the field, it's easy to understand why.

Braxton spent his season battling in the trenches at Offensive and Defensive Line, where he continued to improve and show just how much potential he has.

For a player his size, Braxton can MOVE.

His combination of power and quickness makes him a unique player up front. He has the size to battle in the trenches while also having the athletic ability and speed to get out in space and make plays.

And Braxton isn't just a football player. He's the type of athlete who can play just about any sport you put in front of him, and he especially excels on the basketball court. His natural athletic ability shows no matter what sport he's playing.

Last year was about the BREAKOUT.

Now the question is, what happens when a player with that kind of natural ability starts putting everything together?

We're about to find out.

#18 Braxton Wadley is bigger, stronger, faster, and back for 9U.

The breakout already happened.

Now it's time for the NEXT LEVEL.

Next up in our Returning Player Spotlight is one of the leaders and highest-energy players on the roster, #28 Colton “Coach” MacCatherine! Last season, Colton took home TWO major recognitions: 2025 Receiver of the Year AND Blocker of the Year!

Those two awards perfectly describe the kind of football player Colton is. He has the hands to make plays when the football comes his way, but he takes just as much pride in throwing a block that springs one of his teammates. Whether he gets the glory or somebody else does, Coach wants the Panthers to succeed.

And yes, there is definitely a reason we call him “Coach.” :)

If the coaches are somewhere talking football, chances are Colton isn't far away.
But that personality has helped turn #28 into a leader on the field.
Colton brings an incredible amount of energy to this team. He's constantly hyping up his teammates, encouraging the guys around him, and bringing juice to practices and games. His motor rarely shuts off, and his work ethic is easily Top 3 on the entire team. He doesn't just talk about working hard. He sets the example.

Last season we used Colton at Tight End, Wide Receiver, Linebacker, and Defensive End. He can catch. He can block. He can Tackle. He can defend. And most importantly, he's willing to do whatever the team needs.

Receiver of the Year. Blocker of the Year. Top-tier work ethic. High energy. Team hype man. Leader.

As #28 makes the jump to 9U, we're excited to see that leadership continue to grow right alongside his game.

Keep bringing the energy, Colton!!!

Next up in our Returning Player Spotlight is an absolute BEAST in the trenches, #93 Jeremiah Koue!

At 200+ pounds, Jeremiah brings something to the offensive line that you simply can't teach: SIZE and POWER. But being big isn't what earned him the title of 2025 Offensive Lineman of the Year. It was learning how to use that size to become a difference-maker for his team.

Last season, Jeremiah became the anchor of our offensive line. When #93 gets his hands on a defender, moving him isn't easy. His ability to create space and open running lanes was a huge part of what allowed our offense to operate.

Offensive linemen don't always get the highlights. They don't always get their names called. But every long run, touchdown, and big offensive play starts with somebody up front doing the dirty work.

Jeremiah embraced that job.

The scary part?

He's still learning. He's still developing. And he's still getting better.

After earning 2025 Offensive Lineman of the Year, Big Jeremiah is back for another season in the trenches.

200+ pounds of Panther coming your way. GOOD LUCK.

Next up in our Returning Player Spotlight is one of the most dependable players on the field, #15 Crosby “The Croz” Adams!

Last season, Crosby earned 2025 Receiver of the Year along with the Blocking Specialist Award, and that combination tells you exactly what kind of football player The Croz is.

Everybody loves catching the football, but Crosby understands that being a great receiver is about much more than catches. When the ball comes his way, he has the hands and ability to make the play. When it doesn't, he takes just as much pride in blocking for his teammates and helping somebody else make the play. That unselfish mentality made him one of the most valuable pieces of our offense.

Crosby has always had an impressive understanding of the game. His football IQ and field vision allow him to see things developing before they happen. He communicates with teammates, recognizes assignments, and consistently puts himself in the right position to make a play.

And that carries over to defense.

“The Croz” has built a reputation as a reliable tackling machine because he understands where he's supposed to be and gets himself there. He may not always be the biggest player on the field, but he plays physical, trusts what he sees, and isn't afraid to make contact.

That combination of a football IQ, hands, toughness, leadership, and selfless football is what makes #15 special.

The Croz is back for 9U, and we can't wait to see what #15 does next!
