RB Jay Stanton
Class of 2019
 Crestview High School
(FL)
​6'0, 195LBS
GPA - 3.5
​ACT - 22
​Player Notes - Jay Stanton is Scout Trout's number two overall rated All-Purpose Back, as he defines what a stand-out "ALL-PURPOSE" player should yield to the eye. This Every Down Back is very explosive and waste no time driving the football directly into the heart of a defensive unit. Jay Stanton can line up all over the football field and was able to rush for 1100 yards and 13 touchdowns, while hauling in 6 receptions for a whopping 200 yards (33.3 avg) and 2 receiving touchdowns. ​I want to thank Jay for accepting his nomination for our Scout Trout All-American Bowl and, as always, KEEP GRINDING!

GPA - 2.8
Player Notes - Jayveon Ross is a very shifty and explosive downhill runner out of East Wilkes HS, NC. He is a standout student-athlete on both sides of the football and shows the power needed in his running style to excel at the next level. His quickness through the hole is very visibly seen in a recent match-up against North Wilkes, where Jayveon is seen bursting through the hole before the defense knows what hit them. Jayveon has been nominated as a College FB Today 2019 HS-All-American, as the week 3 poll begins.

5'9, 185LBS
GPA - 3.62
Player Notes - Jalen Barton comes to the Scout Trout All-American Bowl roster from Enterprise High School in the great football state of Alabama! Barton is an extremely fluent and gifted runner when working out of the Gun-Spread formation and is able to hit the designed running lane with great acceleration, which is combine with a very powerful style of running. When used in short yardage or down by the goal line, Barton will slice through your defense, as he often gets through the hole so quickly, the defensive linemen are not even out of their stance yet! Once he arrives at the "second level", the linebackers are in for a tenacious battle, as Jalen Barton will not be deterred from his final destination!

QB Jaylen Machado
Sacramento City College
(CA)
6'1, 211LBS
GPA - 3.3
SAT - 1150
Player Notes - Jaylen Machado is a big time All-Conference QB out of Sacramento City College in the Cali JuCo circuit. He is very refined technique wise and moves very well in the pocket. Coaches like PJ Fleck at Minnesota have already taken notice to his stellar performance as a JuCo QB and believe he is a FBS QB talent. I would go a step further and say that he is certainly a scholarship level QB and in the right offensive scheme could lead a college program to the mountaintop of college football. He reminds me a lot of Tanner Rickle, who has begun to receive offers as our Top rated 2019 QB, as he throws the football with remarkable touch.

Player Notes - Coach Bryan Smart has one amazingly talented all-purpose back at St.Cloud High School in Florida. Having played against Coach Smart and watching him instill toughness in players like Johnson, I see a tremendous outlook for Coach Smarts St.Cloud football team. Johnson is a electric back that can take the ball through the teeth of a defense or take the top off with his exhilarating ball skills and overall athletics. His stats are out of this world for a slot receiver and he is arguably the best all-purpose running back in the state of Florida.

He heads into his senior season with 40 total touchdowns for his career and has been shattering opponents hopes and dreams.  He is able to then make one of the best spin moves I have seen in the box out of a Class of 2019 running back and uses his stiff arm, while running through three defenders who appear to fear this authoritative back from Mastic Beach, NY.

GPA - 3.0
ACT - 18
Player Notes - Truston Everette attended the 2019 College Football Today All-American Bowl and had a outstanding weekend working at the tight end and wide receiver positions. He is a very quick learning student-athlete and is able to catch the football very well in traffic. Truston also excels on the defensive side of the football as a defensive end and could fit as a outside linebacker at the next level, as well. Thanks for withstanding the nasty weather in Dallas and finished the 2019 All-American Bowl weekend! 
ATH DJ Ruffing
Class of 2019
Seneca East HS
(OH)
5'10, 160LBS
GPA - 3.0
ACT - 19
#2 Ranked return man in the nation!
DJ Ruffing first was able to crack our top athletes and specialists list as an elite kickoff/punt return prospect, after averaging over 50 yards a return when he got to go back deep. ​He also showed out of this world agility in the way he was able to operate in the open field. When you combine his stellar overall athletics and style of play, he could make a instant impact on special teams, as a true freshmen scholarship athlete. We are truly excited to extend a Scout Trout All-American nomination to this exceptionally talented athlete!
ATH KJ Macatiag
Class of 2019
Kahuku High School
(HI)
6'0, 165LBS
GPA - 3.51
Player Notes - KJ Macatiag comes to Scout Trout Elite from Kahuku High School in the historically tough football state of Hawaii. Macatiag shows a very keen style of running and is able to use his outstanding agility to slide past defenders, while maintaining a downhill style of running that moves the chains. KJ shows an uncanny ability in finding the cut-back lane and shows great overall football instincts in the way he progresses rapidly downfield, using his blocks precisely to maneuver through immense traffic. Macatiag has more than earned his Scout Trout All-American nomination.
RB/CB Cameron Dupera
Class of 2019
Commack High School
(NY)
5'10, 185LBS
GPA - 3.2
Player Notes - Dupera has breakaway speed and is the best all-purpose back from the state of New York. This athletic back possesses extreme acceleration and his verified 4.5 40-yard dash is very visible on tape. After examining athletes globally for my Class of 2019 Top 300 and position rankings, I realized Dupera is better than many top rated PAC-12 commits and many others. He possesses that New York "To The Top" mentality and knows how to play outstanding bump and run coverage, while having the acceleration to stay with the receiver downfield.
