Signed in March |
Alan McManus
Linebacker/Long Snapper : 6'1
220
 Alan
McManus started at Garner High School as a defensive lineman. He
is expected to compete at long snapper and linebacker at
Catawba.
Holt Raines
Tight End : 6'5 225
 Holt
Raines is a tight end from Rosewood High School.
Dustin Craft
Linebacker : 6'1 200
 Dustin
Craft is a 6'1 200 pound linebacker from Carson High School. As
a junior, Craft made 145 tackles and All-North Piedmont
Conference honors in Carson's first year of existence.
Kewone Harris
Linebacker : 6'1 195
 Kewone
Harris tackles anything that moves. As a senior linebacker at
Webb High School, Harris accounted for 171 tackles, 2 sacks, an
interception, and three fumble recoveries. Harris played a
leading role in Webb's special season that ended in the state
semifinals when they fell to Dudley 14-6. In the postseason,
Harris' defense only allowed 12.3 points per game.
Kenneth Boulware
Defensive Back : 5'10 185
 Kenneth
Boulware played on both sides of the ball for Butler in 2007,
but his home turf is defense. Boulware always made plays for
Butler when his team needed him the most. Whether it was taking
a handoff for 34 yards when star quarterback Jacob Charest went
down with a knee injury for a couple of plays or if it was when
he intercepted passes and took them for touchdowns - Boulware
did it all.
Bobby Morrison
Running Back : 5'8 189
 Bobby
Morrison capped off a spectacular 2007 season by earning the
Offensive MVP in the 71st annual North Carolina-South Carolina
Shrine Bowl game. Morrison
rushed for over 1,900 yards in his senior season. He scored 47
touchdowns in his last two seaons at
West Iredell. South Rowan coach Jason Rollins told his defense
before playing West Iredell and Morrison, "Guys,
it's gonna happen. He's going to big-play you one time
tonight."
East Rowan
linebacker Aaron Trexler said after playing against Morrison,
"Once he gets up a head of steam, it's over..."
Princeton
Brooks
Running Back : 6'0 187
 Princeton Brooks
ran for over 2,400 yards in a senior season that saw North
Gaston appear in the 4A North Carolina State Championship game.
At 6'0 187 pounds, Brooks possesses a break-away threat every time
he touches the football. To give just a glimpse of the season
this running back had, he scored seven touchdowns in a single
game against Gastonia Huss. Brooks wanted to make a statement
after his team fell short a week prior to Charlotte Catholic.
Another standout performance for Brooks in his 2007 campaign was
when he rushed for a school-record 306 yards on
16 carries, 19.1 yards per attempt, caught a 15-yard pass, and
scored five touchdowns in a 51-12 slaughter of Bessemer City.
Chris Enos
Defensive
End : 6'4 237
 Chris Enos is listed
as a two-star prospect on Rivals.com and was receiving interest
from many Division I-A schools, such as Clemson and Louisville.
As a sophomore, he recorded 75 tackles and six sacks for Grays
Creek High School. Enos played in only eight games in his junior
season because of injury, but still accounted for 74 tackles, 14
tackles for loss, and nine sacks.
