It is no secret that several area high school football programs will be
relying on transfers this season.
It is a talented group of athletes but the question is how much will
they impact their new teams?
Nothing is guaranteed. Will they fit into the systems?
Will their arrival disrupt the chemistry already established?
The following are most of the area’s transfers. Briefly, which of the
top five, or 10, among them will make the biggest impact on their new
teams?
