<p>The 5-foot-8, 150-pound dynamo will pair up with fellow 2,000-yard rusher <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/connail-jackson-282033/">Connail Jackson</a>, who rushed for 2,452 yards and 39 touchdowns in 2025, in the backfield along with talented 2027 quarterback <a href="https://www.on3.com/rivals/davin-davidson-259412/">Davin Davidson</a>. </p>



<p>Cardinal Mooney is coming off a stellar season as the Cougars finished 14-1 en route to winning the program’s third state title in a 52-28 rout of <a href="https://www.on3.com/high-school/the-bolles-school-jacksonville-fl-25392/football/2025/schedule/">The Bolles School</a> last month in Miami. </p>
