2020 HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PREVIEWS

BEAUMONT UNITED TIMBERWOLVES

2019 Record: 5-5 Overall; 2-5 District

6th Place in District 21-6A

 

In 2019, the merger of Central and Ozen High Schools entered its second year as the United Timberwolves took the field.  The second year seemed to be a blockbuster year as the Timberwolves bolted from the gate with a 3-0 mark.  However, the rest of the season was not so kind and found the Timberwolves missing from the playoffs.  In the off season, a number of changes occurred which may put United in a position to reach the playoffs for the first time in the school's three year history.  First, in February the UIL placed United in Class 5A, Division I to be fit population wise.  Second, Beaumont ISD product Marcus Graham was tapped by the district as the second coach in school history.  A lot of new faces await Graham after the loss of 33 seniors leaves him with only 2 offensive starters and 5 starting defenders returning.

 

COACHING

Head Coach: Marcus Graham

Assistant Coaches: Malcolm Frank (Assistant Head Coach), Roderick Carson (Offensive Coordinator), Caleb Ceasar (Wide Receivers/Pass Game Coordinator), Leeland Hamilton (Quarterbacks), Ben Taylor (Offensive Line), Glen Douglas (Wide Receivers), Andre Horn (Freshmen), Manny Medina (Defensive Coordinator), Kevin Thomas (Linebackers), Fred Petty (Defensive Line), Donovan Jackson (Defensive Line), Jeremy Smith (Freshmen), Bruce Morris (Freshmen)

 

OFFENSE

The Timberwolves' offense will have to grow up in a hurry as only two starters return in 2020.  Senior Bradley Thomas and sophomore Johnathan Martin will vie for the quarterback spot.  Senior running back Johnathan Comeaux and sophomore Anthony Hawkins will shoulder much of the United rushing load.  Senior wide out Julius Stelly (2nd team all-district) will head a receiver corp that will include senior receiver Jordan Harris and junior Sir Zollocofer with sophomore Jacori Smith-Jackson also contributing to the Timberwolves' passing game.   The offensive line will have to grow up in a hurry as senior Trevante George is the lone returning starter with senior Markel Martin also providing leadership on the line.

 

DEFENSE

Five starters return to the United defense in 2020.  Senior Roland Trent (2nd team all-district) and senior Jaden Barker return to a front line which will also feature senior Christopher Allen.   Senior inside linebacker Devonte Allison (2nd team all-district) and senior Jeremiah Pugh return to a Timberwolf linebacker corp which will also include junior Tre'lin Walker.  Junior cornerback Chandler Rivers (2nd team all-district) will head a secondary which will include senior Deshawn Richards, junior Trey Richard and sophomore Trealyn Porchia.

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

Rivers will be the primary kick returner for United.  The kicking and punting duties will be determined in the fall.

Some of the stuff y’all fans were wanting your coach’s head on a plate.  Most of the comments they used are too graphic to type here.  😁😁

lot of changes this year but rest assured the results will be pretty much the same.  It’ll just be a longer bus ride for the team to wrap their head around it.  
 

Not PA vs everybody but Beaumont > Port Arthur.  🤷🏾‍♂️

Being that I was close to the team, I knew we had lost a ton of talent and experience.  I just wasn't going to say anything despite Dave Campbell picking us 2nd.  Next man up.  My moto in my bass fishing tournaments is "5x3, No Excuses".  For United football it simply will be "No Excuses"...
