Division 1 Signees

Malique Jackson
Wayne County High School
Quarterback
Florida State University
Defensive Back/Athlete

Jackson followed a strong group of quarterbacks at Wayne, Parker Welch at Georgia and Greyson Lambert at UVA. In his senior season he led the Yellow Jackets to a semifinal finish. A very quick, agile athletic player, Malique, who will join his cousin Tre’ at FSU, could help the defending national champion Seminoles in the secondary, certainly special teams, and possibly some time at receiver. Jackson played receiver as an underclassman at Wayne County High School.

Taylor Heflin
Wayne County High School
Linebacker
Navy
Linebacker

6’1″, 225 pounds, Heflin is the prototypical linebacker that one day hopes to be a naval aviator. A top student, Taylor was recruited by several schools, but the appeal of playing on the same field as legendary Naval Academy quarterback and Heisman Trophy, Roger Staubach at Annapolis outweighed any other school. Tradition and prestige not withstanding, a degree from the Naval Academy is worth $284,000. Though Heflin and his teammates might not have professional football in their future, certainly key political and military leadership positions certainly will be.

Krenwick Sanders
Wayne County High School
Wide Receiver
University of Wisconsin
Wide Receiver

Originally a UGA commit, Sanders, In the Game’s Offensive Player of the Year, began to attract serious attention from Wisconsin coming into his senior season. He caught 23 touchdown passes this season for 1,460 including 279 yards and six scores in the first round setting a new GHSA record. Speed will also put Sanders in several special team roles for the Badgers.

Anthony Johnson
Camden County High School
Defensive Tackle/Tight End
Florida International University
Defensive Tackle

As an upperclassman Johnson was indispensible to the Wildcats defensive front. A 6’3″, 325-pound frame, Johnson could make an immediate impact as a interior defensive lineman or weak side defensive end, which is the position he played at  Camden County High School. Johnson also showed versatility and athleticism catching several passes as a tight end.

Jeremy Patterson
Wayne County High School
Defensive Tackle
University of Wisconsin
Defensive Tackle

Good things come in pairs and that is what is coming to Madison, Wisconsin from Jesup, Georgia. Wisconsin was not only interested in offensive threat Krenwick Sanders, the Badgers were also able to sign a strong defensive tackle to stop the Big 10’s run oriented offenses. A large, 6’3″ 310 pound defensive tackle, Patterson is expected to make a strong impact with a much anticipated 2014 recruiting class. Signing the two teammates from Wayne County, Wisconsin has started to seriously target players from the South.
