πŸ”₯ DAMILLYAN PORTER | OAK RIDGE #8 πŸ”₯

BIG PLAYS. BIG MOMENTS. BIG-TIME IMPACT. πŸ’₯🏈

Damillyan Porter is making sure his senior season gets started with a statement. The two-way standout is currently leading Oak Ridge in total touchdowns with 3, while averaging 70 receiving yards per game and 54 rushing yards per game. πŸ”₯

70 receiving YPG. 54 rushing YPG. 3 TDs. TWO-WAY PLAYMAKER.

The season is young, but Damillyan Porter is already making plenty of noise. πŸ‘€πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

That kind of production doesn’t happen by accident. Size, playmaking ability and the knack for making the big moment count β€” Noel has quickly put himself on the radar as one of the young receivers to watch in East Tennessee. πŸ‘€

145 YARDS. 3 TDs. 29 YPC.

πŸ”₯ MASON MITCHELL | EAGLETON #7 πŸ”₯

338 PASSING YARDS. 5 TOUCHDOWNS. 16 COMPLETIONS. 🚨🏈

Mason Mitchell came out of the gate looking like a quarterback on a MISSION. The Eagleton senior put together a monster 338-yard, 5-TD performance to lead the Royals to a 38–20 season-opening win over Oliver Springs. πŸ’₯πŸ”₯

With a big arm, poise in the pocket and the ability to make defenses pay, Mitchell showed exactly why he’s one of the quarterbacks to watch in East Tennessee this season.

And this wasn’t just a hot start β€” Mitchell is coming off a junior season where he threw for 2,736 yards and 29 touchdowns, helping Eagleton make the Class 2A state semifinals. πŸ‘€πŸ”₯

338 YARDS. 5 TDs. QB1.

The 2026 season is underway… and Mason Mitchell is making sure everybody knows his name. πŸ—£οΈπŸ”₯

πŸ”₯ KADEN LONG | KNOXVILLE CENTRAL πŸ”₯

345 PASSING YARDS. 118 RUSHING YARDS. 4 TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS. πŸ—£οΈπŸˆ

Kaden Long opened the 2026 season with a performance that demanded attention.

The Central quarterback put his entire skill set on display β€” attacking defenses through the air while making plays with his legs when the opportunity came. With 463 total yards and four touchdowns, Long was a major reason the Bobcats came away with a thrilling 30–29 victory over Dobyns-Bennett. (MaxPreps.com⁠)

But the numbers only tell part of the story.

Arm talent. Athleticism. Confidence. Leadership.

Long has already proven he can take over a game, and with a big season ahead, defenses around East Tennessee are going to have to know exactly where #6 is on every snap. πŸ”₯

Kaden Long isn’t waiting for his moment β€” he’s making it happen.

πŸ‘€ ONE TO WATCH. NEXT UP. πŸ—£οΈπŸ”₯🐐

Elliott Lindsey was ON ONE Friday night as Greenback took down Cosby 44–18! πŸ’₯🏈
