Everyone talks about Silsbee WR Drelon Miller and the great season he is having and rightfully so. He is a phenomenal athlete and having a super season so far. Thru 7 games (with several of those being very limited in 2nd half) he has 20 rushes for 288 yards (14.4 per carry) 3 TD's and 30 receptions for 873 yards (29.1 per catch) 12 TD's. He also has a kickoff return for a TD. All purpose yards of 1305, 16 TD's. Like I said, he is the buzz talk. I love me some Drelon Miller!!
But I want to point out a couple of other Tiger players who are having great seasons. QB Mason Brisbane is having one of the best seasons a Silsbee QB has ever had. He is 86-132 (65%) for 1637 yards (234 per game) 20 TD's with just 2 INT's. QB rating of 140.7. This is as good as I have seen a Silsbee QB have in quite some time. The 65% completion rate is astronomical when it comes to Silsbee QB's. Usually it's somewhere around 48-54%. His decision making has been super this season. One thing that really does go unnoticed is how well he performs the play action. Mason really "sells" it. This senior QB is one of the big reasons as to why Silsbee is having a great year offensively.
The other player is senior LB Jayron Williams. He was a Willie Ray Smith finalists last year and with the season he is having so far, I wouldn't be surprised to see him win it this year. Williams has 95 tackles (80 solo) with 18 tackles for loss. He also has 5 sacks and 1 INT and 1 FG blocked. He is the bell cow on the defensive side of the ball like Miller is on the offensive side. Jayron also contributes on the offensive side as well. He has a total of 8 TD's (6 rushing, 2 receiving). He's the go to dude on goal line and short yardage situations.
There are other Tiger players having very good seasons but I just wanted to give these two young men a shout out.
Great season so far Mason and Jayron. Keep up the great work.
Miller played the 4th in the Huffman, Nederland and Brazosport games along with the WO-S game.
Only game the starters were pulled before 4th was the HJ game.
As for WO-S game and "feelings"? The score was 31-27 going into 4th Q, so Miller was needed in the 4th. Nothing about "feelings".
I agree he is legit as well. The true test comes in the playoffs when he'll meet some solid secondaries. He'll win most 1v1 if Brisbane can put it close.
Good news is Brisbane's timing looks exceptional with the other receivers.
Keep improving on the run blocking and it'll be lights out by playoffs.
